Comments by Student Kiera Carlton Most recent public comments by Student Kiera Carlton https://nowcomment.com/users/68943 I belive that the efforts made by the government are good. They will continue to f=get better as Americans mindsets change but it will take a lot of time until this happens. However if American continue on the path that we are going at we will get there https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1667670 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1667670 one day. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:41:42 -0500 I agree because drugs like this can seriously mess a person up for life. They can also make people do crazy and dangerous things to not only themselves but to others. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1667662 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173769?scroll_to=1667662 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:39:09 -0500 I strongly believe that the reason the government has increased in incarceration rates is for population control. I dont mean the general population though. I mean the population of the minority groups. They have created systems and laws to keep certain https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1667656 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1667656 groups from ever getting further in this nation. The war on drugs was created to keep out hippies and the black population. This is a time when the incarceration rate in america soared due to discriminatory merit.The government want to keep certain groups numbers low so that they cant do anything but continue the cycle. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:37:32 -0500 I agree with this comment. Jail can make a ton of profit from having inmates. Inmate actually get paid to to work but jails jack of the prices of the product the inmates make and receive a large profit from it. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1667621 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173757?scroll_to=1667621 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:31:14 -0500 I agree because it strips the inmates of their basic human rights. People need to be able to take care of themselves and they cant in this situation. https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1667583 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1667583 Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:24:28 -0500 The prison system has created a stigma on ceartin groups of people and it makes transitioning back to normal life hard for all convicts and those people previewed to be convicts. The first video shows how being in jail makes it hard to get a job and all https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1667579 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173737?scroll_to=1667579 of the things that wont be available for those with a record. Things such as student loans, welfare, food stamps etc. These drawbacks make it impossible for people to get back on their feet. It also increase the rate of homelessness and them going back to crime as a means of living. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:23:19 -0500 I agree, because teens and children follow what they see. They use what they see in the world as a guideline for what to do. This age is also the prime age for setting morals. So when teens and children are exposed to the real world with a role model they https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1667531 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1667531 create another loop in the system. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:15:41 -0500 The Unites States is a nation has a large number of minorities with the ( white people with wealth) majority in power. When this occurs, there is often injustice in the legal system, because the two parties have trouble understanding the others issues and https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1667528 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173734?scroll_to=1667528 hardships. America has such a wealth divide that it makes it hard for the majority to relate but even so the majority only sees the minorities as less than and that the can do no good. Evidence of this is the rate of incarceration. The videos even state the fact that America has the largest incarceration rate in the world. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 17:12:25 -0500 This should be changed because the main point of jail (theoretically) is to help convicts solve their problems and to also help them get back into society but as a better person. This is what the government should be focused on.These people deserve a https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1666314 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1666314 second chance ( some of them at least) and they aren't given that opportunity. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 13:57:27 -0500 The Criminal justice is plagued with plenty of discrimination and it has had a great impact who is placed in jail and how they are treated in and out of jail. The first video discusses the way inmates unable to have functional lives after they have https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1666240 https://nowcomment.com/documents/173722?scroll_to=1666240 completed their time and how some wont ever be able to leave jail and will most likely die there. the second video discusses the way that race and economic status play apart in the problem. The inmates in most jails are those of color, living in or close to poverty, and those who may come from families who may have had members incarnated. The justice system systematically places people in jail for a number of reasons. This is what feeds mass incarceration. The systematic arrest of minority groups and those who cannot support themselves. Wed, 18 Mar 2020 13:50:56 -0500
