Prison Overcrowding
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. The United States lays claim the world's highest incarceration rate as a direct result of federal minimum sentencing requirements mandated by law in the 1980s. The result is that state correctional prison budgets are exploding and the national inmate population currently stands at no less than one million prisoners. Finding a viable solution to the problem has been plaguing a number of states, not the least of which is California, inasmuch as "...overcrowding requires an expansion of facilities or a dropping of the intake rate. Prison officials have no control over the capacities of their institutions or over the number of offenders that are sent to them by the courts" (Jerin, no date). The writer discusses potential alternatives and solutions, as well as provides statistical information concerning California's overcrowding problem. Bibliography lists 15 sources.

Prison Staff: Coping With Their Jobs
[ send me this paper ]
7 pages in length. There is, perhaps, a no more stressful, dangerous, mentally and physically exerting or violent job as that of a prison guard. Those who seek such a demanding position are made of more intestinal fortitude than the average human being, inasmuch as the day-to-day, in-your-face challenges of controlling angry, antisocial inmates takes a significant toll upon even the strongest of individuals. In an ongoing effort to combat the negative aspects of such overwhelming work-related tension, it is critical that prison guards learn to manage their stress levels. In general, people do not know how to allow their bodies to relax, which is a natural method of stress control; rather, guards are all too often in a constant state of tension with no available release for their penned up stress, which becomes a significant concern for their overall health. Bibliography lists 6 sources.
