Our Criminal Justice System And The Results

Abstract

This study will cover as in depth analysis of previous published literature regarding our penal system, our correctional system, and the affects of our criminal justice system abroad. It will encompass the reentry programs available and there results. Included are different types of programs that are offered to individuals released from incarceration and a description of each program along with statistical showing of the rates of success and failure. I chose to define failure as someone who has violated parole and remanded to incarceration, or has committed a new offence and incarcerated again. It was necessary to find out what the eligibility requirements were to be referred to and take part in each reentry program were. Eligibility factors could include physical and mental health, weather or not being on parole supervision was required, as well as determining who decides whether or not an individual is permitted to or required to participate. I will study past cases and there findings, and analyze the data. I hope to come to a conclusion based on analysis of previous studies and what flaus in the system that may cause an individual to be incarcerated and end up back in jail or prison.
