After the Battle of Lexington, Bunker Hill, and Saratoga, George Washington and his soldiers decided to build a winter camp in December of 1777. Being called the Continental Army, they settled down in Valley Forge, about 18 to 20 miles northwest of Philadelphia. While the British sat in their luxurious homes, the soldiers tolerated the 16’ by 14’ huts with problems such as the cold and smoke. However, George Washington has a serious complication on hand. The soldiers’ 9-month enlistment are soon coming to an end. While some are happy to return home, others are brave and courageous to re-enlist and keep fighting for the country.

Also, the same topic can be handled differently based on many factors. For example, the source of the information plays a role in how that information is presented.

The Department of Transportation (DOT) has a strict, return-to-duty process in place for employees who have tested positive for drug or alcohol use. This process is typically lengthy and an employee who has been removed from duty due to a violation must successfully complete the entire process. This process is required if the employee is returning to their current job or if they will be employed by a different DOT employer. The return-to-duty and follow up testing requires that the employee’s urine specimen be collected under “direct observation” procedures. These procedures are more invasive than those in a routine drug test. Direct observation requires that there is a same-gender witness during the urine collection. Employees are also

Therefore, the Criminal Justice system should follow the role of the military and take the lead of restoring its inmates to be productive members of society. The prison administration does an excellent job of breaking down people who have placed in coercive organizations as a form of punishment. However, punishment is only a portion of the process. Prisons must also rehabilitate and reform its inmates, which should include reentry programs. Community based reentry programs should only be used to supplement the Criminal Justice system to monitor
