Banking on Bondage: Private Prisons and Mass Incarceration - 0 views

  •  
    The imprisonment of human beings at record levels is both a moral failure and an economic one - especially at a time when more and more Americans are struggling to make ends meet and when state governments confront enormous fiscal crises. Having a system that relies on mass incarceration to continue in order to make profits goes against the purpose of the criminal justice system.

Wrongful Convictions - 1 views

  •  
    Over the years many innocent men and women have been wrongful convicted of crimes they never committed. Each day many are proven innocent and finally able to see loves ones and walk as free men and women again.
  •  
    My heart hurts for people who are wrongly incarcerated. After they are released it isn't enough to apologize or give them large amounts of money. There are no transitional programs to reintegrate them into society. It's usually up to local organizations to help people get back on their feet.
  •  
    Wrongful incarceration is a really big deal in our country. Black men and women especially are being incarcerated at higher rates due to petty crimes or crimes they didn't even commit and I think that really needs to be fixed.

Rights of Inmates - FindLaw - 0 views

  •  
    Every person has rights that cannot be infringed. Though we have those rights, if we commit a crime and go to jail, those rights are not aloud to be used. This article explains how people can loose rights if sent to jail and why.
  •  
    Even the most chronic or hardened inmates have basic rights that are protected by the U.S. Constitution. If you are facing incarceration, you should know your rights. If you have a family member or friend who is in prison or jail, you should know what their rights are, as well.

    An article by Greg Mullenholz on the fact that education is a social justice issue within our society. He calls education "a dividing line between success and failure" and states that access to high quality teachers and education is a key component to helping students who are underprivileged to receive the future they deserve.
  •  
    This is an interesting perspective. I do believe education in America needs to be improved and the lack of action will cause America to become irrelevant in our modern era. I believe we need to reform our education system that is already in place and have families make it a higher priority rather than have the federal government mandate a solution.
  •  
    Education may be one of the biggest social justice issues because it is one of the main factors that determine a productive future instead of incarceration. The article states that "education was the dividing line between success and failure." There is a need for high-quality teachers along with equal opportunity for a good education among all different income levels.
  •  
    An article discussing the importance of education in society. The main idea is that under performing schools demand a certain skill set and access to funding in order to provide a path to success for their student base, and the unfortunate truth that this practice is not existent. School is the corner stone for the success of children and current standards and practices have created inequality across the nation
  •  
    Education being a social justice issue is nothing out of the norm. Education is not just about teaching common core programs but, it is also a place to teach kids and adults how to protect the dignity of humanity. Education is a huge dividing line between being successful and unsuccessful.
