I agree Rashaun. The amount of technology that is popping up can sure improve security in jails or in prisons. The problem is all of that cost money that not every state can afford. A couple of the technological advancements are the WANDD, PharmaJet and RFID’s. The WANDD is referred to as the Weapons and Non-permitted Devices Detector. It basically detects hidden weapons in prisoners. The best part is it detects metal including non-metal. This is extremely useful because it can avoid a tragedy such as death or harm on another inmate or a correction officer. The PharmaJet is fascinating because it can medicate an inmate that is sick and it’s needleless, which is a safer way to approach in prison or in jail. RFID is referred to as Radio-Frequency Identification. This could be used to track the inmate’s location, which makes escape even harder than it already was. Correctional staff can’t keep track the movement of every inmate all day long. People freak out when they hear the word RFID sometimes, thinking it’s some device inside your skin, but they generally use bracelets. Back in the day, they would have to log each inmate manually, which wasted a lot of time. Now with the help of RFID’s, the correctional staff can track, measure and store the movement of the inmate’s, that gets compiled into data base. This is not only saving time, but it is saving …show more content…
The Biometric Management system is similar but it also denies access to areas inmates are not allowed in, by detecting their retinas or fingerprints (Criminal Justice Degrees Guide, 2017 & Mann,
Bobbi Kristina Brown is in hospice in what may turn out to be her final days. Family members gather around her bedside for a never-ending prayer vigil. It should be a quiet time for her and her family members, but it isn’t. A storm is raging in spite of the soft music playing in the background and the lit candles. Someone entered the room and snapped a picture of Bobbi Kristina. Then he or she tries to sell it to the highest bidder. According to TMZ, July 7, 2015, this resulted in banning all members of Bobby Brown’s family from entering the room. Security at the hospice has orders to keep everyone out, except for a few key members. The only ones exempt from the ban is Bobby Brown, Pat Houston, Cissy Houston, and anyone else involved with Bobbi
Technology has given us the power to change society and the way society works. In chapter 3 of William G. Staples writing “Everyday Surveillance”, technology has not only given society the power to peer into the lives of others, but has also granted society new opportunities. With it begs the question, where have we as a society gone in the field of monitoring and surveillance? With the advent of monitoring and surveillance technology came with it new opportunities and alternate options that individuals, in this case “convicts”, could not have previously taken It is thanks to technology that house arrest is now an option for non-violent convicts, where in the past a prison sentence was the only option. .
In the book Mass Incarceration on trial, we learn about the difficulties that the country faces now with the huge amount of prisoners the United States have today. Jonathan Simon discusses several decisions including Brown v. Plata, a case that explains that California abuses the cap of the prisoner it holds and how it was ruled unconstitutional, and Madrid v. Gomez, where they find the 8th amendment being violated in the prison system. Our prison system has been a disaster throughout the last several years and our human rights have been violated for many years as well. Simon explains throughout the book that instead of putting people in jail and making more prisons we should look at ways to keep people out of jail, which could save taxpayers plenty of money over time. Our country carries the most incarcerated individuals, more people than even China whose population is three times ours. The United States has been building more prisons than even schools for various years and every time they build a prison it seems to be over crowd within a few year this book also talks about how we should approach in different methods and the way we treat our inmates in our country. Inmates are also exposed to various disease and with very little options for treatment, this disease can sometimes be passed through drugs or tattoos which are very common in prisons. Prisoners have rights and they are not being treated like humans Simons defends their rights and studies the pros and cons very in
Macbeth and Lady Macbeth both change thoroughly throughout the play ‘Macbeth’ by William Shakespeare At the start of the play the characters are both seen as a united couple. They appear to have no secrets from each other and make out to the audience as if they are equal “my dearest partner of greatness”. This is what Macbeth calls his wife- partner signifying equality and greatness. During the period of the play their relationship faces obstacles. At times, Lady Macbeth is the victim of who is trying to advance her husband so they become more separate in their lives with keeping secrets and pursuing paths which leaves them with tragic consequences and experiences. Throughout the beginning of the play Macbeth is seen as brave and fearless while
High incarceration rates in the United States are astronomical. According to Williams (2014), there are more than twenty-four million people incarcerated between the state, federal, juvenile correctional facilities, jails, military prisons, immigration detention facilities, civil commitment center and prisons in the U.S. territories. The makes the United States to have the highest incarceration rate in the world. Texas prison system has grown faster than any other state and has been reported that one out of every twenty adults were in the corrections system under one form or another (Texas Tough, n.d.). The problem is that the crime rates do not account for the [prison] rates (Hartney, 2006). Thus, from the overcrowding, there are issues with
A correctional facility is a prison where criminals are being held restricted. The main two institutions are jails and prisons. The type of offense and how much time he/she is given will determine whether they will be in a jail for a short period of time or sent to prison for a long period of time. Many type of criminals are held in these institutions like murders, kidnappers, drug dealers and rapists. The prison population is dramatically increasing every day and it’s becoming a major concern in the United States. The overpopulation is endangering the lives of inmates and correctional officers. There are too many inmates and not enough prison guards which is a major issue. For example, a huge fight breaks out and it’s five inmates versus another five inmates and there’s on three prison guards on duty. Three prison guards trying to break up a fight between ten inmates is a major issue cause more than likely those guards will end up hurt or possibly killed. Many criminals in the prison system are there because of the war on drugs. According to the data released January 25, 2014 by the Federal Bureau of Prisons 50% of criminals make up the prison population due to drug offenses. The next largest category is immigration and those criminals make up 10% of the population. These two categories make up over 60% of the prison population consisting of nonviolent crimes. Since the number of people convicted of drug offenses increased so has the prison population.
I am doing this paper on electronic monitoring. I am doing this paper because I need a paper to write for you and this is the page I opened to in the book to get the idea. No, really because I believe that electronic monitoring is a terrific way to police probation and parolees when probation and parole officers are so severely overworked. By not having to check in on the offenders as much, because at any time we can hit a button and know exactly where they are, or be notified instantly when they are somewhere they shouldn’t be, it would be a lot easier on probation and parole officers.
One may believe that the more offenders that are put in jail, the safer our country will be. This however, is not entirely true as there is little connection between improved public safety and an increase in incarceration (Vera Institute, pg. 9). We should consider those making up the population of our prisons. First there are those who are mentally ill, who are lacking proper treatment as they spend their time in prison. 72% of all mentally ill offenders in jail have a substance abuse disorder (Vera Institute, pg. 12). How can these individuals receive the help they need, if they are being locked away in facilities that won’t provide the appropriate assistance? Another portion of the jail population consists of those who are not actually guilty of committing a crime. Nevertheless, they sit in jail awaiting their trial date if not granted, or unable to afford, bail. This is spending funds on people who do not belong in jail, as there is not always an expedient way to prove their innocence. This also may lead to innocent people accepting plea bargains as they away their trial date, which leads to a whole separate set of problems. Beyond raising the jail population, holding innocent people in prison can have negative impacts on their family, and social bonds. Not being able to work while in prison hinders the financial flow to the family, and get put added stress on the remaining
Consistently, state and government jails are filled to limit with peaceful crooks. This puts weight on parole sheets to discharge lawbreakers who under typical circumstances would not be discharged because of the way of their violations. Each State 's Department of Corrections needs to spend a greater amount of citizens ' cash each year for jail upkeep, prison guards and jail social insurance. The issue of jail over populace can without much of a stretch be put under control with the execution of the new advancements as of now accessible for remote observing what 's more, radio recurrence finding frameworks. Electronic observing and house capture has turned into a reasonable different option for imprisonment, probation, and parole
Prison reforms are necessary to better the conditions for prisoners to enable the creation of an efficient and reliable correctional system. In reforming the prison system, it is essential for alternatives to incarceration to be explored (UNODC). There has been a sizeable escalation in the number of individuals serving prison sentences in American prisons. In fact, America has the world’s highest number of incarceration cases with over 2.2 million Americans in prison. The increased number of inmates has resulted in unprecedented congestion in prisons. Further, the available funds from state governments have been significantly outstretched by the expanded penal system.
Biometric access control systems are so far the best type of access control we have today. The reasoning for this is because it relies on identifying unique human characteristics such as fingerprints, retinas, hands, etc. Since these characteristics are unique to each person like DNA, biometric access control systems are considered far better than the other systems I have listed.
In the United States, there’s two types of incarcerations: jail vs prison and federal vs state. The key difference between all prison systems is the size, location, and quantity of inmates and the crime rate in each area. Overpopulation has been an issue for a while mainly because for the safety for the inmates, the Three Strike Law, and also, society feeling that rehabilitation isn’t what they want for convicted felons. In the future, the system of corrections should decrease the overpopulation issue, for the budget plan, and safety of inmates.
In the United States, Imprisonment is one of the main forms of punishment for offenders who commit a felony offense. The United States has the highest number of offenders incarcerated in prion than any other country in the world. Both the federal and state prisons both have the same mission and that is to protect society by confining offenders in a controlled environment that are safe human, secure, cost efficient, and provide rehabilitation to offenders in self-improvement and educational opportunities and helping them become better law-abiding citizens. Prisons are operated at the Federal and State level and are operated at various different levels of security based on the offender’s crimes which can range from minimum security prisons to supermax facilities (De Maille, 2015)
In the 1970s and 1980s, a massive amount of inmates began fillin up the United States prison systems. This huge rate of growth in this short amount of time, has greatly contributed to the prison overcrowding that the United States faces today. In fact, the prisons are still filled to the seams. This enormous flood of inmates has made it practically impossible for prison officials to keep up with their facilities and supervise their inmates. One of the main reasons why many prisons have become overcrowded is because of states’ harsh criminal laws and parole practices (Cohen). “One in every 100 American adults is behind bars, the highest incarceration rate in the world” (Cohen). The amount of inmates in corrections systems, throughout the
