Southwest Community College Intermediate Sanctions Questions

I’m working on a criminal justice discussion question and need guidance to help me study.

You are to respond as a thread to this forum. Your response should be no less than 450 words and is due NLT Sunday end of the WEEK. Make sure you answer each question. Remember, you are also expected to respond to at least two other classmates’ posts in order to receive full credit for your post.

1. Using the state you were assigned in Module 3 discussion, identify what intermediate sanctions are used in that state. What is the relative use of each sanction – which ones are most popular, and why?
2. Of the 10 landmark decisions in Chapter 10 related to probation, parole and reentry, select one that was most notable to you and answer the questions below.
   1. Why did you select this case?
   2. What does its significance mean to you?
   3. How is this case still relevant today?
3. Using the state you were assigned in Module 3 discussion, collect data on prison populations in that state and compare the growth of those inmate populations to the national trend.
   1. Does this state have an issue of prison overcrowding?
4. Search the internet for videos about life in prison from the perspective of a correctional officer or from the perspective of an inmate. After copying and pasting the link to the selected video as your response to #4, answer the following questions:
   1. Why did you select this video?
   2. What did you learn from this video that you did not know or consider before?
   3. How did this video change your view on correctional officers or inmates (based on which type of video you selected?)
