It makes a difference because we are at times expected to feel more sympathy towards them is the problem. And I understand that these boys were well treated anyway.
We in the US are cruel also. Don’t forget that.

I do not care about those "baby spies". They were reporting to Mossad and Mossad just dumped them when they got caught. The US did not care. Iran got stuck with useless little rich kids. At least Iran did not execute them (as was their right). Iran would rather have the cash bond paid to them than to jail useless, spoiled little spies.

What are other nations doing that we aren’t?

The US uses Incarceration as a business. In no other country can a prison guard or other correctional staff plan a career after going to college in the justice system. Many countries only have prisons, while in the USA they have institutions of rehabilitation. Other countries let their prisoners out, but the USA follows their prisoners for parole and probation systems. America is also power hungry and will create issues that need not be created. In Europe, no one cares if you smoke weed in your house and have a plant. In the USA, they will send a SWAT team after a person and for no reason other than the people are disobeying the USA. Therefore, foreign or domestic, they must be made to pay

What are some controversies regarding America’s incarceration system -and- how other countries deal with criminals?
it’s not homework smarty

My issue is the fact that it doesn’t work. Look at the recidivism rates. It is a waste of taxpayer money. The problem occurs after the person gets out of the joint. They have a record, they are probably on probation, they cannot vote, nobody will rent to them, they have been striped of all rights, even Hardees will not hire them…what do you expect is going to happen? They are going to go back to what they know.

After a person has already done their time, this society continues to punish them. Due to the anger against the system and being unable to make it the legit way, they go back to what they know.

If they

He HAS done time because he has prison jammies, was he convicted by a jury of his peers?

Hamburglary. They even named the crime after him.

Today is the celebration of: THE DAY OF ATONEMENT.

Just over a week ago was the celebration of: THE FEAST OF TRUMPETS, which foreshadows the return of Jesus Christ and His Saints and the setting up of His government in Jerusalem.

The Day of Atonement celebrates the incarceration of Satan and his demons in the pit of restraint.

This is all in the Bible. Is there some reason this isn’t CURRENTLY being taught in the churches?

Interesting!

the united states has the highest incarceration in the world true or false?

true

What explains the rapid rise in incarceration rates that has occurred throughout the U.S. during the last two decades? Do you feel such an increase is justified by the change in crime rates that has taken place?

The rise came from legislatures passing laws for offenders with multiple convictions and changing some drug laws. Drug arrests are super easy to make and the stats look good for local politicians that want to look "tough on crime". Legislatures also want to seem tough so that pass harsher drug laws causing cases that would be given probation to get hard time.
I question the drug laws helping much but my practical observations have shown that the multiple offense laws, like three strikes, helped a lot to lower violent crime rates.

Once a letter reaches a prison about how long will it take for the staff to deliver the letter to an inmate. I am writing to someone who is in the George W. Hill correctional facility. Thank you!

It depends on the prison, and also, how far the letter has to go to get there. My fiance is almost 3 hours away from me. If I put a letter in the mail, say, on Monday, he will get it on Tuesday. However, some facilities do get more backed up with their mail, especially the larger facilities. Have the person you’re writing to tell you when the letter arrives, keep track of what day you send out a letter and have them tell you when they receive it, after a few times you’ll have a good idea of how long it takes….that’s what we do, my fiance always tells me when he receives a letter, he is in a smaller facility so it only takes a day for him to get it.

Would it be illegal if an inmate wrote a letter for another inmate, mailed it to me and then I mailed it to the intended recipient?
By the way, the two I am referring to are not co-defendents or gang members. They are friends who met while incarcerated together but one has moved to another facility.

It is not illegal as in against the law. You would not be committing a crime. Having said that most prison systems have rules against inmates communicating with each other so your friend would be in trouble if he got caught with mail that relayed communications. You could be banned from writing to him. You should take his friend’s letter and relay the information to him in a letter that you write. Make no reference to his name. Just say I was talking to your old friend the other day and he told me to tell you "XYZ" Be aware that prisons routinely read letters coming to inmates so don’t directly reference his friend’s name, or give a fake name that your friend will know is his. Also, if you are talking on the phone to your friend in prison (Or visiting the prison and talking to your friend on a phone while he is behind glass.) Those conversations are routinely listened to and analyzed as well.

On average, how many incidents of violence and/or defiance would an inmate have to accumulate to be placed in supermax housing? Does being placed in supermax housing have more to do with the severity of the offense or total number of offenses?

It depends on certain things. Even if you’re caught with a weapon inside the prison and you stab someone, you may not get moved to supermax. Some maximum security prisons have SHU wards, which is the supermax ward. If you get a disciplinary infraction, if they have one in the facility, you might get moved there for a few weeks. If you kill someone inside the prison, you might get moved into the SHU ward for a few years, along with a consecutive sentence to the one you’re already serving if you’re convicted. Minimum and medium security prisons usually hold less violent offenders, so unless they kill like every single prison guard in a riot they started, they probably won’t get transferred to a supermax facility. In maximum, it could take several infractions before you even get moved to the SHU ward (The Hole). The first time you get a warning, the second time you get one of your "privileges" taken away (like telephone calls), the third time you get another "luxury" taken away (like visits), and then the fourth time you’ll be placed in the SHU. Having a prior criminal record then the one you’re currently serving time for always increases you’re chances of being transferred to a higher security prison, and of course if you’re convicted of a violent crime, which the majority of inmates at a maximum security prison are you have a higher chance of getting a harsher punishment.
When I was 14 I spent time in jail while I was waiting for a court appearance / trial for homicide. The judge rightfully deemed it self-defense, and I was let out that same day. But this "record" was used against me in my sentencing for my aggravated assault with a deadly weapon charge when I was 17, for which I received a ten year sentence. I was placed in General Population in a maximum security prison, and during the first year I was placed in the SHU ward three times (2 weeks the first time [fourth infraction], one month for the second time [fifth infraction], and two months for the third time [sixth infraction].) On my seventh infraction (apparently I was "assaulting" a guard), the warden decided he’d had enough of me, and on January 8th, 2004 (3 days after my 18th birthday), I was transferred to a supermax prison, where I spent seven years. My mandatory sentence was six years, and I was denied parole four times before during my eighth year of incarceration I was granted parole. (When you’re in permanent lockdown, and alone every hour of every day, and you’re only outside by yourseld for one hour a day, there isn’t much trouble you can get in to.)

So for me it took seven infractions before I got transferred to a supermax prison from a max. Hope this answered your question. (Though as they say on TV, experience may vary.)
