Pending Supreme Court Case Summary The assignment examines pending cases before the U.S. Supreme Court, that is, cases that will be argued (or have been argued) and eventually decided during the High Court’s current session (2020 to 2021). A final ruling is pending. With respect to the assignment, please select one case from the list of pending cases and answer the four questions below using the majority opinion from the last court that reviewed the case (the last appellate court that reviewed the case is listed alongside the name of the case). The majority opinion for the case (from a lower court) can be found on www.scotusblog.com or by searching the specific appellate court’s Website (or using Google). Please select one case: -Albence v. Guzman Chavez, United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit-Edwards v. Vannoy, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit -Jones v. Mississippi, Supreme Court of Mississippi -Lange v. California, California State Appellate Court -Torres v. Madrid, United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit Please address the following four questions: 1. What are the facts of the case? 2. Where did the case originate, which appellate courts have reviewed the case, and what was each of those appellate bodies’ ruling? 3. What are the legal questions associated with the case? 4. What do you predict the U.S. Supreme Court will rule on the case? In reference to paper mechanics, the paper should be exactly two and a half pages in length, be double-spaced, using Times New Roman, twelve-inch font, have one-inch margins, and include a cover page. Assignment headings, such as the student’s name, date, and course name, should appear on a separate page (not within the two and a half page paper requirement). In addition, enlarged headings or margins or extra spacing between lines or paragraphs are not included in the page requirement. Please do not use any direct quotes in the paper, as papers with direct quotes will not be graded. Be cautious of relying exclusively on Websites with banks of cases that have already been briefed or outlined. This has been an issue in the past. Papers that strongly reflect writing posted online (e.g., quotes or exact statements) will be suspect of academic misconduct and will be reported to the UTEP Office of Student Conduct and Conflict Resolution. That is, do not copy and paste statements from court opinions or case briefs that are posted on legal Websites or blogs. The paper is due as an electronic copy on the Blackboard assignment submission link by Monday, November 9th.

 Improving Corrections Facilities  Go to the Department of Corrections’ website for your state, and research two of your state’s correctional facilities. Next, use the Internet and Strayer University Online Library (https://research.strayer.edu) to research the budgetary constraints that correctional officials must adhere to in order to operate correctional facilities.  Write a 4-to 5-page paper in which you:  Identify and discuss at least two diversion programs and determine whether the diversion programs are only beneficial to offenders charged with misdemeanors and non-violent felonies or whether they are also beneficial to offenders charged with felonies and violent crimes. Discuss whether or not the two correctional facilities that you researched would benefit from diversion programs. Provide a rationale for your response.  Discuss the pros and cons of privatized correctional facilities and discuss whether or not privatized correctional facilities are better alternatives for reaching the goal of preparing inmates for reentry into society. Support your position with one example from within the last three years to support your position of the better correctional facility alternative.   Correctional officials are tasked with maintaining public safety with reduced resources while maintaining effective operations. The targets of cost reductions typically include the following:  staffing, inmate medical and mental health services, and inmate/offender supervision. With this in mind, recommend a cost reduction strategy to reduce cost while maintaining public safety and effective operations (i.e. targeted reductions, business practice changes, the use of new technology, reduction in inmate population, or community supervision). Provide a rationale for your response.  Use at least four peer-reviewed sources. Note: Wikipedia and similar websites do not qualify as quality resources.  Your assignment must follow these formatting requirements:  Be typed, double spaced, using Times New Roman font (size 12), with one-inch margins on all sides. This course requires that citations and references follow the Strayer Writing Standards (SWS). The format is different than others Strayer University courses. Please take a moment to review the SWS documentation for details. Include a cover page containing the title of the assignment, the student’s name, the professor’s name, the course title, and the date. The cover page and the reference page are not included in the required assignment page length.   The specific course learning outcomes associated with this assignment are:  Recommend improvements to selected areas of corrections.  Analyze various issues in corrections, including effective community corrections programs, probation and parole, and reentry strategies.  Analyze the operational components of prisons, jails, and alternative correctional placements.  Propose specific components of an institutional facility model based on effective management policies and procedures for a specified group of inmates.  Use technology and information resources to research issues in correctional facility policies.  Write clearly and concisely about correctional facility policies using proper writing mechanics.

Required Textbook: Clear, T., Cole, G., & Reisig, M. (2013). American Corrections. (11th ed.). Belmont, CA: Wadsworth Please read Chapter 12 and respond to the following Critical Thinking Questions. You will also respond to 2 of your peers: How has fragmentation of corrections among federal, state, and local governments affected the quality of services for female officers? If they commit similar crimes, should women receive the same sentences as men do? How might the unequal treatment of male and female offenders be rationalized? Imagine that you are the administrator of a women’s correctional center. What problems would you expect to encounter? How would you handle these problems? What parental rights should prisoners have? Should children be allowed to live in correctional facilities with their mothers? What problems would this practice create? How do the social structures of male and female correctional institutions differ? Why do you think they differ in these ways? The first deadline for posting is Tuesday, November 10th by 11:59 pm and the second deadline for responding to your classmates is Thursday afternoon by 12 pm. When responding to a student’s post, be sure to use and address the following: Your responses should reach beyond a simple “I agree with what you are saying.” Please use the following to begin your post when responding to your peers: “I learned from you that..””I appreciated how you explained….”I expect everyone to participate and to also engage and encourage everyone. Please make an effort to respond to another student’s post if you find there are multiple responses to one student’s post. We want to respect everyone’s posting.
