For Vikas only-Punishment vs Rehabilitation

Assignment 2: Punishment vs. Rehabilitation: What Society Wants
vs. What WorksIt’s a popular notion that harsh punishment in prison should act
as a deterrent to crime. The slogan “to be tough on crime” often
extends to the conditions in prison. The evolution of punishment
has included executions, corporal punishment, hard labor, and
exile.Despite the presence of harsh punishments since the last twenty
years, there has been only a slight deterrent effect. Conversely,
approaches to reduce recidivism through evidence-based practices
and programs have succeeded.It is important to understand the goals of punishment and how
they relate to public opinion and prison philosophy within the
context of what works according to recent research.Public opinion often recommends harsh punishments and labor for
inmates during their incarceration.Evaluate the use of hard labor and even chain gangs and compare
to the theories of criminal rehabilitation and the impact on
society. For example, the governor of North Carolina has ordered
the use of inmates to clean up public areas after Hurricane Irene
in 2011.Tasks:Look for the quantitative and qualitative research available to
you on the use of inmate labor in your state (Calif) and one other
state using the Argosy University online library resources and
prepare a 2- to 3-page paper addressing the following:Evaluate the outcome of making inmates do hard labor and compare
the theories of criminal rehabilitation and the impact on society.
Find research evaluating the outcome of making inmates do hard
labor. Does the research support the use of hard labor as an
effective method to elicit rehabilitation? Analyze and explain.
