Prison Management—Past and Present
The overriding culture of a prison is established by prison
leadership. The policies and procedures of a prison system are
aimed to achieve the goals of punishment. From a societal
standpoint, imprisonment is one of the primary ways of dispensing
punishment. Therefore, prison leadership plays a vital role in
meeting the goals of punishment set by the justice system.
Prisons should include sufficient punishment to meet a measurable level of deterrence, while ensuring proper programs to rehabilitate the accused. Over time, the predominant philosophy of the US prison system has changed because of political, societal, and legal or judicial influences. Moreover, prison leadership has also modified its policies and procedures to coincide with the respective philosophies in place.
Tasks:
Using the Argosy University online library resources and assigned readings, prepare a 3- to 5-page report including answers to the following:
From a historical perspective, how does prison leadership achieve the goals of punishment using penology theory as a framework? Has the perspective of using penology theory as a framework to achieve the goals of punishment changed throughout history? Are there common themes that reoccur with the goals of prison management? Note: Include at least one or two references from the Argosy University online library. At the end of the report, prepare an APA-formatted reference page that links back to in-text citations and supports your recommendations. Remember, you cannot have only in-text citations or only references. You must have both.

The correctional system budget
The correctional system budget is one of the largest sections of
a state's yearly budget. The current philosophy of being tough on
criminals has resulted in overcrowding in prisons and massive
corrections budgets.
However, the recent overall decline in many state economies and the national economy has forced states to cut their corrections budgets and include alternative sanctions other than incarceration and still be accountable for maintaining public safety.
Most prison systems have been negatively affected in recent years by these budget cuts. Due to scarce budgets, states have been forced to reduce staffing and cut funding to crime prevention programs. The staffing cuts have become necessary because people are the most expensive part of running a prison. States have also privatized services and programs such as food service, medical services, warehouse and maintenance operations, and educational services to reduce costs. Typically, programming services are reviewed for reductions as they are not considered the core of prison operations such as custody and security.
Tasks:
Using the Argosy University online library resources and the textbook readings, write a 3- to 5-page paper that addresses the following:
Analyze and explain how budget cuts affect the various programs in the correctional system. Analyze the pros and cons of privatizing prison services and programs to alleviate budgetary costs. Explain whether state governments should relinquish correctional supervision and control to private entities. Explain how enacting legislations that are thought to be tough on crime affects the prison system's ethical responsibilities to prisoners. Include the following points in your responses:
Legal requirements of a correctional system: food, housing, and medical care Prison safety Prison programs: General Education Development (GED), English as a Second Language (ESL), and trades
