Prompt(s), Women face different issues when going to prison than men do. What are the main differences between men in prison and women in prison? Why do you think this is? Should we acknowledge these issues and do anything about them? Student posts, Kaitlyn The book states that, “About 14 percent of jail inmates are women…men make up 86 percent of the jail population…” (Siegel & Worrall, 2018, p 513). Because of this, women’s prison’s are normally smaller than a male prison. One big difference is that in a male prison, they tend to have gangs and other violent ‘friendships.’ In a woman’s prison, the women tend to come with make believe families. “This group contains masculine and feminine figures acting as fathers and mothers; some even act as children and take on the role of a brother or sister” (Siegel & Worrall, 2018, p 537). Woman use this as the stable life style that is desired, while in a male prison they are under a unwritten guideline called inmate social code, this is an attitude that is passed down by the older inmates to the younger ones expressing how they are suppose to act and behave (Siegel & Worrall, 2018, p 533). I think that women tend to be more nurturing while men tend to be more controlling. I think that is exactly why men’s prisons have a social code, while women’s prisons have families. Men are looking for respect in prison while women are fulling their family wants. Most people in prison come from broken homes, abuse, and harsh backgrounds. If we made counseling cheaper, such as marriage counseling, metal illness counseling, etc., then maybe our prisons wouldn’t be so full. The book also explains how in prison, counseling sessions are not private but within groups. If the prison could get better counseling giving to the inmates, they might be able to get out of prison and live a better life instead of getting put right back into jail. April Female jail inmates are about 14% compared to males making up 86% of jails. During the past two decades the percentage of adult females in jail have increased at a faster pace than that of males. Female jail inmates face many challenges. Most come from significantly disadvantaged backgrounds. Many incarcerated females have experienced abuse, and severe economic disadvantages, have high rates of lifetime trauma exposure and suffer from current mental disorders and drug/alcohol problems. (Seigel & Worrall, 2018, p513) Given this background, it is often difficult for female inmates to make a successful reentry into society. At the turn of the twentieth century, female inmates were viewed as morally depraved people, who flouted conventional rules of female behavior. The treatment between white and African-American women differed significantly. In some states, white women were placed in female-only reformatories designed to improve their deportment; black women were placed in male prisons, where they were put on chain gains and were subject to beatings. (Seigel & Worrall, 2018, p534-535) State jurisdictions have been responding to the influx of female offenders into the correctional system by expanding the facilities for housing and treating them. Women’s prisons tend to be smaller than those housing male inmates. Although some female institutions are strictly penal, with steel bars, concrete floors, and other security measures, the majority are non secure institutions similar to college dormitories and group homes in a community. Like men’s prisons, women’s prisons suffer from a lack of adequate training, health, treatment, and educational facilities. Psychological counseling often takes a form of group sessions conducted by laypeople, such as correctional officers. Most trained psychologists and psychiatrics restrict themselves to activities such as conducting intake classifications and court-ordered examinations and prescribing mood-controlling medications. (Seigel & Worrall, 2018,p 535)

Prompt(s), Describe 2 of the 4 correctional rehabilitations: Individual Counseling, Group Counseling, Educational Programs, and Vocational Programs. Discuss what they are, why they are important, and why you think they should be provided to inmates. Student posts, Kaitlyn One correctional rehabilitation is individual and group counseling. Most people in prison suffer from some kind of harsh background, have substance abuse issues, mental issues, etc. I think counseling being provided would be a great idea for the willing individuals. Counseling is important for prisons because it can teach a person how to control their emotions, which is exactly what most people in prison need to be able to control, such as anger. These sessions can be group therapy, they can have sessions about communication, general life issues, and social relationships (Siegel & Worrall, 2018, p 542). I think this would be very beneficial for life outside of prison. I also think that drug treatment programs would be very beneficial for prisons and I believe that many individuals would be very thankful for this programs. “… data suggest that about 30 percent of all inmates are provided with some form of services… The community itself, including staff and program participants, become the primary method of change. All work together as members of a ‘family’ in order to create a culture in which members confront each others negative behavior…” (Siegel & Worrall, 2018, p 544). The book also tells us how difficult it is for someone to get off drugs, and that finding the “… proper mix of programing…” can be also be difficult (Siegel & Worrall, 2018, p 545). I think these two programs stand out to me the most because I find them to be the most effective. I think these two programs give people hope of getting out of prison and becoming a better person and creating a better life for themselves. Ashley Correctional rehabilitation programs within prison facilities is a great resource for these inmates if they are ready to welcome change and help to move into the right direction. There are always going to be people who do not want to participate or who may require a treatment program far above what the prison facilities can offer. One correctional rehabilitation program that I see a lot of use for is the drug treatment program. There is an opioid crisis among us that is continuing to rise. This program is designed to help those who suffer from substance abuse as well as alcohol abuse receive treatment, training, and therapy while within the walls of prison. Due to drug abuse being so common in correctional facilities, many of them have begun treatment-dispensing called “therapeutic communities.” This program uses staff other program participants. The goal is to have a family culture to help change behaviors and establish “an open, trusting, and safe environment” (Siegal and Worrall, 2018, pg. 545). Programs such as this are crucial in order to help lighten the chronic drug problem. Another program that I personally believe helps is the Faith-Based program. While this type of program focuses primarily on training, building support networks, and creating supportive relationships between staff, volunteers, and clients (Siegal and Worrall, 2018, pg. 544), I strongly believe this program helps to create a strong foundation for the inmates once they leave the facility. Having a strong foundation to rely heavily on once released makes all the difference in the world, especially when they are likely to go back to the same environment they came from. Like all treatment, some programs are suited better than others depending on the person and if they are ready to put in the work themselves.

Readings The American Death Penalty and the (In)Visibility of Race: https://chicagounbound.uchicago.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=5870&context=uclrev Beginning with a survey of the centrality of race both to the history of capital punishment in America and to the litigants’ constitutional strategy, the authors document the Court’s strategies of avoidance. The article then considers possible explanations for the Court’s silence and note some unanticipated consequences of the Court’s race-neutral approach to its constitutional regulation of capital punishment. Struck by Lightning: The Continuing Arbitrariness of the Death Penalty Thirty-Five Years After Its Reinstatement in 1976 http://www.deathpenaltyinfo.org/documents/StruckByLightning.pdf This report shows that despite the changes to sentencing schemes approved by the U.S. Supreme Court on July 2, 1976, race, geography, money and other factors continue to make the implementation of the death penalty arbitrary. Executing White Masculinities: Learning from Karla Faye Tucker: http://digitalcommons.law.msu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1015&context=facpubs This Article addresses the gender in punishing by death, the gender of those chosen for death, and the gender-bending execution of Karla Faye Tucker.

The crime control and due process models represent opposing views of the purpose of the criminal justice system. The tenets of each model influence all levels of the system from police procedure to correctional policy. During Earl Warren’s term as Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court, the Court made several landmark decisions that drastically altered the procedures followed by police and prosecutors. Among these were the decisions handed down in the Mapp, Miranda, Gideon, and Escobedo cases. Keeping the differences of the two models in mind, prepare a 5- to 6-page document in Microsoft Word which addresses the following points: Which model is evident in the above-referenced decisions of the Warren Court? Give proper reasoning and also analyze how these decisions can affect police procedures. What are the significant operational differences between the crime control model and the due process model? Also, how do the police, court, or correctional procedures differ depending on which model is being followed? Which model seems to be currently in effect in the United States? Explain. What is the impact of each model on victims of crime? Explain.
