Is there a reason why black Americans statistically have a 65% incarceration rate?
28.February, 2010
And makeup 40% of all inmates in federal prisons across America? This is for a criminology assignment.
there is a correlation between crime and poverty. there is also a correlation between being a minority and being poor. its not that surprising that black americans are incarcerated at the rate they are
Who knows that America has the highest incarceration rate in the World?
04.February, 2010
China came in second. With only 18% of the prisoners we do.
Funny stuff, like there is no corruption in America.. HAHAHA
Ever heard of Watergate my friends?
and China killed less than 6000 in 2007.
6000 when you have millions in prison is nothing.
Look up some info before you answer people. Please.
Ignorance is a big ol beezy.
i think most people know that and also America has the 3rd highest execution rate after China and Iran
Incarceration?
02.February, 2010
Do you believe ex-cons deserve second chances ? Especially when they come out into a new world looking for a job. Everyone is so jugemental.
I think it depends on the crime. Child molester or intentionally killing someone would make me skeptical but, time served on small theft or pot charges would be something else.
a chronological resume is not possible here however I do have extensive work history, experience,and training how would I write a resume that would draw interest?
Leave off the dates and emphasize your skills and abilities. Basically the same thing a stay-at-home parent would do when they are ready to go back to work.
The conviction will come out eventually, but you can at least try to get your foot in the door before it does. If you do get in for the interview, you then will have to prove that what you did was a mistake and you learned your lesson from it.
Would you want terrorists brought to your town for incarceration?
19.January, 2010
I sure wouldn’t. I don’t want to think about my town being defiled by those psycho Muslims setting foot here.
Yes.
You, however, are noting but a NIMBY.
Arrested for violation of probation due to incarceration of traffic violations. Time length before arraignment?
09.January, 2010
My son was arrested for violation of probation due to incarceration of traffic violations. He has been in jail going on two weeks in Dekalb County. What can I do to expedite an arraignment for violation probation on his behalf. He has a job, goes to college and has a small child. He is definitley not a threat to anyone. Please advise.
You need to contact his attorney - since he is already sentenced and (was) released on probation - he is under the jurisdiction of the court, and only the proper motions can get the matter back on the court’s docket. Believe me - the court will be in no hurry to hear your son’s case. Probation violations are "violations" of the court’s order - and viewed very dimly by the judge.
Is it possible for ex convicts to become licensed and or certified in trades after incarceration?
23.December, 2009
Where can I find information on this topic? I know people who are convicted of crimes can be discharged from prison and get an education from a college, but are they able to get certified or licensed at a trade school?
I don’t know but I hope so. I feel many people like this need help.
Can I get back supprt reduced because of prison incarceration?
17.December, 2009
I’ve spent a considerable amount of time in the California State Prison System. I find that I owe a lot of back child supprt. I am trying to straighten my life out, but with this enormous debt, it puts me in a diverse situation. Is there any way to get the back support reduced because of my incarceration?, and what can I do about wage garnish? I don’t want to go back to prison for failure to pay.
no
What is the yearly cost for mental treatment vs. incarceration?
05.December, 2009
Looking from a tax-payer’s point of view, what are the average cost differences (in the state of NY) of sending a convicted criminal to a mental hospital vs. prison. Through my searching I’ve only been able to find that the cost of mental treatment is more…but I have been unable to find any sort of solid numbers proving this statement. Can anyone help?
Probably more for the mental hospital sense they make the patients more miserable, or more enjoyable depending on the patient lol. (not serious)
But seriously probably the mental hospital sense there is more treatments involved (atleast we hope)
that’s my opnion i didn’t look up
Is anyone else outraged BHO is bringing terrorists here for trial and incarceration?
17.November, 2009
I am tired of the Democrats supporting BHO because he is a democrat.
I don’t see any positives in bringing terrorists here for trials or incarceration.
I don’t want them in my backyard.
I see everything in risk vs reward in life.
I see huge risks with BHO doing all of this. I see little if any rewards.
Will he be willing to accept responsibility for poor outcome from his actions?
or will he again try to somehow blame Bushyboy again?
your in a two party system, let me explain it for you
people support one of the two sides, when their side does something they support it, when the other side does somethng they are against it
does it work for you?
