Question 8

List and describe the three most common models of corrections used in the United States.

Accepted Answer

The three most common models of corrections used in the United States are the retributive model, the rehabilitative model, and the restorative model.

1. Retributive Model: This model focuses on punishment as a means of justice. It is based on the concept of "an eye for an eye" and seeks to impose penalties on offenders that are proportionate to the harm they have caused. The primary goal of the retributive model is to hold offenders accountable for their actions and to deter future criminal behavior through the threat of punishment.

2. Rehabilitative Model: The rehabilitative model emphasizes the idea of reforming offenders and helping them to reintegrate into society. It focuses on addressing the underlying causes of criminal behavior, such as substance abuse or mental health issues, and providing offenders with the resources and support they need to make positive changes in their lives. This model aims to reduce recidivism by addressing the root causes of criminal behavior and providing offenders with the tools they need to lead law-abiding lives.

3. Restorative Model: The restorative model is based on the principles of healing and reconciliation. It emphasizes the importance of repairing the harm caused by criminal behavior and restoring the relationships between offenders, victims, and the community. This model often involves mediation and dialogue between offenders and their victims, as well as opportunities for offenders to make amends and take responsibility for their actions. The restorative model aims to promote healing and closure for victims, as well as accountability and empathy for offenders.

These three models of corrections represent different approaches to addressing criminal behavior and promoting public safety in the United States. While there is ongoing debate about which model is most effective, many correctional systems incorporate elements of all three models in their efforts to address the complex challenges of crime and punishment.

Question 13

How has the prison population changed over the last 30 years? Describe the major changes and how or why they came about.

Accepted Answer

Over the last 30 years, the prison population has experienced significant changes. One major change is the overall increase in the number of people incarcerated. This can be attributed to several factors, including changes in sentencing laws, the war on drugs, and the implementation of mandatory minimum sentences. These policies have led to a higher number of individuals being incarcerated for non-violent offenses, contributing to the overall growth of the prison population.

Another major change is the demographic composition of the prison population. There has been a disproportionate increase in the number of minority individuals, particularly African Americans and Hispanics, being incarcerated. This can be attributed to systemic issues such as racial profiling, disparities in sentencing, and unequal access to legal representation.

Additionally, there has been a shift in public attitudes towards incarceration, with a growing recognition of the need for criminal justice reform. This has led to efforts to reduce the prison population through initiatives such as alternative sentencing programs, diversion programs for non-violent offenders, and increased focus on rehabilitation and reentry programs.

Overall, the changes in the prison population over the last 30 years can be attributed to a combination of legislative and policy changes, societal attitudes towards crime and punishment, and systemic issues within the criminal justice system. These changes have had a significant impact on the size and composition of the prison population, and have sparked ongoing discussions and efforts to address the issues surrounding mass incarceration.
