The hypocrisy of programs such as arts & crafts, music television, occasional live shows, and leisure sports are criticized. The 'prisoner's rights' movement is regarded as scaring too many jail systems into providing these amenities and a strong conclusion urges for a more reform-orientated change.

[ send me this paper ]
In 13 pages the author compares Swedish and U. S. prisons. 'Both the United States and Sweden share the commonality that criminal offenses should be punished. The United States, however is harsher in her treatment of criminals. She has more prisons and more are being built all the time. The United States has the death penalty, with the state of Texas being the leader in executions. Sweden does not. The United States is getting tough on crime with its 'three strikes' laws, while Sweden allows convicts out on unsupervised furloughs. Sweden's overall approach to managing its offender populations relies less on incarceration and more on alternatives than the United States. The incarceration rates are much lower in Sweden than those in the United States.' Paper contains an example of an outline. Bibliography lists 14 sources.
