    Grief and Loss in Correctional Facilities

    Given the limited amount of statistics for this topic, I will bring in personal experience from working at Monroe Correctional Facility. During the first week of working at the jail, two inmates in program were experiencing the loss of a loved one. The mother of one inmate’s child was shot to death in New Jersey leaving the inmate to grieve her loss and to be concerned about the placement of his child. Another inmate’s grandfather, the positive role model in the family, died of cancer and had been sick for a…

    Prison System: Parole and Reentry

    According to the Bureau of Justice Statistics, about six hundred thousand inmates are released from prison each year, and roughly two thirds of these individuals will return to prison from either new convictions or parole revocation within the first three years of release. (www.ojp.usdoj.gov/bjs/). Many barriers placed on inmates include; criminal records, employment, health care, public assistance, housing, transportation, and voting. Inmates are released from prison with no guidance or help with such issues. As a result, inmates are released into society with little, if any skills to become a functioning member of society.…

    Should a Covicted Felon Have the Right to Vote

    I have a friend that was like a mom to me and I called her MAMA. She went to jail for five years for something she didn’t do, but the law saw different which is ok with me. She told me when she was in jail she thought about even little things she did when she was little that she could of got in trouble by the law. She said she loves the new her and she sees a different side of her. So in no doubt I think the jail can change you for the mistake you did. In the next paragraph I will talk about how people in jail still know what goes on around the world.…

    Assess The Importance Of Building Positive Relationships For Offenders P5 P6 M2 D2

    It is important to build a positive relationship between prisoners and those who they come in contact with both while in custody and on release. For example is a prisoner does not have positive support or role models in the community they come from it can means that when they return to that environment they will more likely reoffend again but if the prisoner can build a positive relationships this will lead to opportunities work or constructive study and the chances of reoffending are greatly reduced.…

    Behind a Convicts Eyes

    The sound the gates made when walking threw the breezeway leading to the processing center was a sound that no one can ever forget. Having the "THUD" of the sliding doors shut will always be a remembrance in the mind of any person. Either an inmate who is going into the system for the first time or for a staff member, the sounds of the correctional facility's gates and doors should be enough to make a person walk the straight and narrow. Having worked in a correctional facility for five years taught me to respect the law. Also talking with the inmates was a real life experience but having read the text of Behind a Convict's Eyes has made me realize what a great life that already exists.…

    Personal Narrative: Eagle Scout

    An event I've experienced that was life changing was when I obtained the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America. It was an affirmation of years of disciplined work and study to have such a prestigious honor bestowed upon me. In scouting, I developed various moral and ethical tenants that have shaped my foundation in life. Tenants like integrity, honor, reverence, faith in God, a man's role and his responsibility to his family, and a nearly innumerable quantity of experiences growing under the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America have molded me into who I am today in my very core of being. The realization of my dream to become an Eagle Scout took 11 years to obtain, so I'm no stranger to adversity or perseverance. To my memory,…

    “Orphan Trains”

    An individual, who affected me most, was Lee Nailing. Lee Nailing left his home when he was eight years old. His father wrote down his address, so his son could make contact or at least tell him that he was safe. He explained that when he was leaving, his father had tears in his eyes (you could tell that he was greatly impacted). When he left for the Midwest, (as he slept on the train) one of the people in charge took the envelope, containing his father's address. When he…

    Occupational Therapy Experience

    The experience that had a big impact on my life is going to medical camp. The medical camp was held at our local hospital. The camp allowed me to tour the hospital and speak to workers in various positions throughout the hospital. To get into the program I had to write an essay and have a GPA of 3.5 or better. At camp I was the youngest and the only African American there. While there it opened up my eyes to many other jobs in the hospital that interested me. Prior to going I wanted to be a Pediatrician, but while attending I found two other professions that interest me. The first profession is Occupational Therapy. Occupational Therapy is for people who go through surgery or get into an accident and try to relearn activities of daily living…

    The Effects of Incarceration

    Incarceration can be devastating on everybody’s lives. Not only it affects the person that is actually in jail, but it affects his or her loved ones. First, it puts a strain on the family finances once a family member is incarcerated. Second, it causes problems in relationships, whether it is girlfriend or wife.

    Sumner County Jail Reflection

    I learned that jail, as it is boring is actually very helpful to the inmates. They are more focused on helping them get rehabilitated and out of jail as quickly as they can, without a recidivism rate going up. They can have jobs, but only women can work in the kitchens, I believe because there are knives, and women are less violent than men, most of the time. Also, the only people able to have jobs are “trustees,” which wear a different color jumpsuit than the other inmates, their days are also 2 for 1.…

    Arlington County Jail Reflection

    After getting the opportunity to go to a jail, see how my expectations are extremely outlandish and correct my expectation to be more rational and genuine. This experience has impacted me because it made me come to the realization that although the prison system does have its flaws and problems, it it not as bad as the media has made it seemed. Before I went on the tour, I could never imagine myself working in anything related to the prison system, and as a student studying to become a clerk, lawyer, and judge (respectively), it would be impractical to think that I would never get involved in the prison system, especially with my clients. This experience helped me conquer the fear that was keeping me back from what I wanted to major in: criminal law. I am very fortunate that this class gave me the opportunity to enter the world of corrections, in an educational and interesting…

    My Little Brother In A Juvenile Detention Center

    My little brother is currently in a juvenile detention center for the negative choices that he has made. While in the detention center, he has made the decision to permanently drop out of school and get his GED while also not having any plans for when he is released from the detention center. I have seen my brother struggle, since he began high school, in not knowing what he wanted for his life, making negative choices, and ultimately putting himself in a situation that he could not get out of. He now has two felony convictions before the age of 18 and has already spent two years of his life on probation before being placed in a juvenile detention center for the next eight months. This is personal. It hurts to see my little brother this way.…
