...The Fort Sumter Prison in the Civil War Doing this research paper I have discovered all the awful things that have happened in the prisons during the civil war. I have focused on the Fort Sumter prison near Andersonville, Georgia. Including how awful the conditions where for the prisons, like having no shelter, food, clean water, and not having a large enough space for all the union prisoners. Approximately 674,000 soldiers surrendered or were otherwise captured by both sides over the four year duration of the war. Out of the 674,000 soldiers that were captured, 211,000 where union soldiers and 463,000 where confederate soldiers. Neither side was prepared to deal with the security, public health, or resources that max influx of human beings demanded. It’s didn’t help that they were already stressed. Consequently overcrowded and unsanitary, prison camp facilities resulted in a wide spread disease, starvation, and a lot of death (Patrick Teegarden)....

...Prisoner research is a debatable topic on ethics and morals. It can be viewed as a negative practice mostly because of its history. During World War II, prisoners were forced into concentration camps by the Nazis to be tested on. The testing done at these concentration camps were a horrific scene to any of who liberated them. The Nazis weren't the only ones who tested on prisoners, but also it caused controversy in the U.S. These are considered among the most egregious cases of widespread abuse of human subjects of research in modern history (Stone pg. 6). Because of this prisoner research is viewed just like it was 70 years ago, except it hasn't changed too much since. Prisoner research is thought to be humane today, but that's just what the public know. Prisoners should not take part in medical research because they are a vulnerable population; they may feel coerced to...

...Rights Allotted to Prisoner of War Shane Smith Abstract The jurisdiction and control of prisoners of war have historically been left solely to the military forces that held them captive; the application of rights and treatment being guided and controlled by various treaties and conventions signed by governments. This straightforward, conventional process was, and is, undisputable and logical in its application when it is applied in a conventional ‘civilized’ war; there is room for improvement, but it works. On the contrary, when fighting an unconventional war, with non-state sponsored combatants, the policies need to be reassessed. The Jurisdiction of Rights Allotted to Prisoner of War Our history shows a pattern of war making that is clearly defined, easy to follow, and reasonably undisputable: declaration of war, combat, surrender, treaties and or rebuilding. During the combat phase enemy combatant prisoners are taken, either by force or surrender, and both sides can agree that this is a better alternative to killing. With the exception of prisoner exchanges, these prisoners are held until the conflict is completed. At that time the general prisoners are released and those accused of war crimes are tried. Note that this is not policy, just a general pattern, but it works for a conventional war, a war where the losing side surrenders and both sides announce a cease fire. The problems arise when fighting an unconventional war, such as the war in Iraq. When...

...Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror POL 201: American National Civil Liberties, Habeas Corpus, and the War on Terror Habeas Corpus is a term unlikely known to many detainees in Guantanamo Bay. The war on terror has gone from protecting our country from terrorist, to slowly but surely doing onto these detainees what other tyrants were doing before us. Habeas Corpus is a law that was placed in the constitution in order for guarantee that no one would be held prisoner without a trial. According to the constitution the writ to Habeas Corpus is implemented to prevent tyranny and false imprisonments. In the length that our nation has been around there has only been three instances in which the habeas corpus writ was suspended. The first was after the civil war (during the reconstruction) and most recently during the War on Terror. The War on Terror has brought the Habeas Corpus writ into different perspective when it was approved that the writ be suspended for prisoners in Guantanamo Bay (GITMO). The Bush administration went under severe scrutiny after choosing GITMO as a detention center for “enemy combatants/illegal combatants” and suspending the Habeas Corpus writ to them. There had been no legal aid provided so that the detainees could attempt to prove innocence. In the over zealous need to prevent further terrorist attacks in a way we condoned terrorist like ideals. In 2008, the verdict in Boumediene v. Bush the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration...

...Brainwashing MIND CONTROL 10/9/14 7 pages Ryan Manuel CFB 3333 Fall 2014 Mind Control or brainwashing is a theory or claim that was ultimately discovered by Edward Hunter in the 1950’s within the time of the Cold War. By using the term "hsi-nao" the Chinese people and officials meant certain different techniques in dealing with adversaries, troops or platoons and the training of officials within the time of the Korean War. To the Western usage the term "brainwashing" spread in the 1950s through several publications depicting the treatment of American soldiers at Chinese prison camp during the Korean War 1950-1953. Mind control can also be described or defined as thought reform, thought control, or coercive persuasion. Mind Control can be defined also as a theoretical indoctrination process that results in a person’s inability to think on their own, and disrupt the beliefs and affiliations a person has with a certain religion or person. There are various different theories within the idea of brainwashing, but the main idea or reason behind the tactic of brainwashing is to be used within the field of battle. Mind control occurs when people ultimately have their minds controlled by a certain action wanted to take place or controlled by a certain group of people of higher being or higher stature whom are trying to conquer a certain object or rule a certain person. Mind control is a claim that has been tested and tested...

...the expected results. As no solution is perfect and without flaws, the same goes with this problem of handling criminal behaviour and controlling uncivil citizens, thus increasing problems inside the prisons and penitentiaries. Prisons hold a complete new world inside them. As the most dangerous people from all over the country or province/state are collected in a single space, the chances of different mishaps and unwanted happenings are increased a hundred fold. Therefore, the prison service or probation service should be capable of handling such situations. Furthermore, the prison service should competent enough to prevent any incidents from happening at all. Containing any undesirable situations, preventing jailbreaks, controlling prisoner riots, thwarting murder attempts and violent attacks, halting drug trafficking, preventing any sexual harassment or assaults and frustrating any prison gangs from causing any harms are the primary tasks of a prison service. Further duties include the training of convicts to become a better citizen of society, provide them with adult education (if required), providing proper healthcare without any discrimination of race,...

...like a nonhuman animal? In this paper, I analyze the discourse of “dehumanization” in Madrid v Gomez, a 1995 Eighth Amendment case concerning the treatment of prisoners at California’s Pelican Bay Supermax Penitentiary. I argue that the language of dehumanization fails to describe the harm of solitary confinement because it remains complicit with a hierarchical opposition between human and nonhuman animal that rebounds against prisoners, especially those who have been racialized and/or sexualized as less than human. Humanist discourse neglects the sense in which both human and nonhuman animals are affective, corporeal beings who rely upon the support of others for their own capacity to orient themselves within a mutually-perceived world. Drawing on the testimony of inmates in solitary confinement, and situating this testimony in relation to the political and scientific history of US incarceration practices, I develop a post-humanist critique of solitary confinement. Keywords: Solitary confinement, sensory deprivation, intercorporeal Malebranche would not have beaten a stone as he beat his dog, saying that the dog didn’t suffer. Merleau-Ponty, Nature, 166 Certain carceral practices are often condemned – both by prisoners and by their legal or political advocates – on the grounds that they violate human dignity by treating people like nonhuman animals. For example, in the 1995 Eighth Amendment case, Madrid v Gomez, the treatment of prisoners at California’s Pelican Bay Supermax...

...Compare and Contrast Torture or Not to Torture 2012 “Any direct or indirect participation in any act of torture or other forms of degrading or inhuman treatment or punishment by psychologists is strictly prohibited. There are no exceptions.”(APA website, 2012). The American Psychological Association through the last two decades has taken a sever stand on torture and helping the United States government on how to handle prisoners at the “black site” also known as Guantanamo Bay (Peltz,Burnstein,Grand, 2008)P587. Their stand on how psychologist should aid in the treatment of information recovery in forms of torture interrogation technics has always been a longstanding policy against psychologist involvement in torture. Many members wanted the association to take a strong stand against any involvement of psychologists in national security interrogations during the Bush administration. Psychologists were used during the bush administration “war on terror” efforts and took part in both abusive interrogation techniques and torture. While the APA acknowledged issues of psychologist involvement in national security-related investigations has been an extremely difficult and divisive one for our association (Personal Communication, 2012. The APA has always had a longstanding policy against psychologist involvement in torture; many members wanted the association to take a strong stand against any involvement of psychologists in national security interrogations...

...advent of western education and culture in Ghana. The Ghana Police Service was established and mandated to provide the security needs of the citizens by protecting lives and properties. The judiciary or law courts of Ghana were also given the mandate to provide fair trial and justice to offenders arranged before them and those found guilty were given various punishments ranging from fines to custodian sentences in jail to serve as a deterrent to others. In the mid-nineteenth century, the British council of merchants established a network of harsh prisons in forts such as Cape Coast Castle. By the early 1900s, British colonial officials administered the country’s prisons and employed Europeans to work as guards in the prisons. After World War II, Ghanaians gradually replace these individuals. By 1962, Ghanaians staffed all positions in the prison system....

...to colony. After many decades of experimentations in court decisions and legislation began to form a modern criminal justice system. The declaration of rights (1776, Virginia) was the model for the U.S Bill of Rights, this was added to the U.S. Constitution in 1791. A good example of experimentation or the different colonies approach to crime and punishment. This would be the Quakers of Pennsylvania; their religious beliefs led them to incarceration verses execution. To this day the death penalty is still different from state to state, and from person to person. The Philadelphia Society for Alleviating the Miseries of Public Prisons (1787), this was the first prison reform attempts, rehabilitation over beatings. And a separation of prisoners in to four different categories, a system to help the criminals. So, society tries to evolve a more humane prison, although the rural jails were run poorly with a primitive setting. As early as 1794 Pennsylvania recognizes the difference between first degree murder(planned act to kill) and second degree murder, this starts the states legislatures to rethink different levels of punishment. Decades later other states follow Pennsylvania’s enlighten view and reduce capital crimes. New York and Michigan stop or reduce the death penalty and public executions, follow by Rhode Island and Wisconsin. Prisons in that day where strict and all rules were adhered too, in contrast to today’s gang controlled prison yards....

...Ethical Principles Paper Kalina Anderson University of Phoenix May 18, 2015 Introduction Ethics is defined as the branch of philosophy that involves systematizing, defending, and recommending concepts of right and wrong conduct. More simply put, it is the standards that members of a profession must follow. In psychology, ethics plays a big role in psychology because it protects the client and the counselor as well. However, in the case on Henrietta Lacks, it seems that there was no room for ethics during these scientists studies. Henrietta Lacks was a poor black tobacco farmer whose cells were taken without her knowledge in 1951. She was considered one of the most important tools in medicine and vital for developing the polio vaccine, cloning gene mapping, and more (Skloot, 2010). Summary In an Internet video, Film Media Group (2012) states that in 1860, Benjamin Lacks had two children by a black mistress and they all worked in the tobacco field for three generations. Then, in 1942, Benjamin Lack's great granddaughter Henrietta Lacks (her friends called her “Hennie”) moved to Baltimore and died there in 1951. Right before she died, her cancer cells were taken from her body to help research and “conquer death.” Since then, her cells have been growing and multiplying since. There was a laboratory close to where Henrietta lived. In that laboratory was Dr. George Gey who wanted to rid the world of cancer. After a gynecologist appointment, abnormal...
