Elderly People In Prisons
Audience: correctional staff
Subject: Should prisons allow elderly people to be released and be under supervised parole for the rest of their lives.
Author's/Speaker's Main Purpose or Claim: We will save money if it is possible and elder people leave the jail to avoid the necessary training for correction officers, “the costs of medication and accomadations throughout the prison such as wheelchair accesability and units with lower bunks.”
Author's/Speaker's Tone (Tone=how the author/speaker feels about the subject): Worried/ considerate for how much money we might spend if we do keep elderly people in prisons. “Do we really want to go that route” “I try to imagine my 90-year-old father in prison.”
