Description
https://www.prisonstudies.org/sites/default/files/resources/downloads/wppl_12.pdf. The question will require you to reflect back to the start of the semester when we first started this journey. In a survey I asked what you understood or knew about corrections. Some of you professionals and other novices, nonetheless over the course of this semester we have been able to review the carceral state cross oceans, within international borders, beyond racial and ethic identities, and through religious perspectives. When looking at the World Prison Population List, address the million dollar question of “Where are we going as a society of humans who lock people into inhumane cages, derivate them of common needs, and release them back to a society to look non-criminals in the eye and compete for shots at individual livelihood?” If some nations are humane and therefore focus on treatment and/or provide truly safe spaces, then why cant the rest of the world follow suit and have similar circumstances and outcomes. Money and lack of resources cannot still be the only roadblock. Or are we as a society, merely OKAY with rapid human rights violations in our world’s prisons? Pick a nation within the list and express your issues with the statistics provided. Curate and recommend a better approach to achieving better outcomes for the world!
Second Question
The second will serve as a reflection or closing statement to your thoughts on the course, your personal and professional takeaways, pitfalls of the course, and whether you think you are NOW better able to have an informed conversation or debate about the diversity, complexity, and human aspects of Corrections and Incarceration around the world.
