Description

Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the assigned material in your Stojkovic and Lovell (2013) textbook. Additionally, please read the article Toward a More Constitutional Approach to Solitary Confinement: The Case for Reform. As you recall, Week 1 had you prepare an outline to provide a foundation for this week’s assignment. For this assignment, you will develop your outline into a two-to-three-page paper. The goal is to consider constitutional rights of incarcerated persons and administrative objectives for correctional institutions. Additionally, this paper will also have you consider diversity awareness and cultural sensitivity issues in corrections. You will support your work with two scholarly and/or credible resources, in addition to your textbook. You may use scholarly and/or credible resources included in your Week 1 Issues and Constitutional Rights in Corrections assignment. Address each of the elements below:

  • Constitutional rights and administration
    • Explain how constitutional rights of incarcerated persons are balanced with the correctional system functions of the jail or prison.
    • Explain the mandatory rights that prison administrators must provide incarcerated persons, and how those rights are balanced with the security, safety, court requirements, visits, and other functions of the facility.
    • Examine a U.S. Supreme Court case (you may use your selected case from your Week 1 Issues and Constitutional Rights in Corrections assignment) that balances correctional administrative goals with the constitutional rights of incarcerated persons.
  • Diversity and cultural sensitivity issues
    • Explain at least one cultural sensitivity issue and at least one diversity issue in corrections (you may use the cultural sensitivity issue and diversity issue from your Week 1 Issues and Constitutional Rights in Corrections assignment).
    • Analyze perspectives on each issue within the context of constitutional rights and administrative functions in corrections.

Running head: CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Issues and Constitutional Rights in Corrections CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS 2 Response one Taylor v. Barkes, 575 U.S. ___ (2015) The issues that are involved here are a violation of probation by Barker who is taken to the hospital. A suicide screening is conducted, and he is found guilty of the offense (Justia Supreme Court, 2015). However, the nurse indicates that he is mentally ill, but instead of taking him to a referral hospital, the police decide to take him into custody. He is arrested for the violation of his right to life as he chose to attempt to kill himself. The issue is whether barker should be released or not. The court decided to grant him freedom since he was deemed as having mental issue, as such he did not violate any constitutional rights. Response two Issues in the Taylor v. Barkes, 575 U.S. ___ (2015) The Justice Supreme Court made the court ruling. It involved Barker who tried to kill himself according to the information given by the nurse. Barker was taken to court for violating the right to life (Justia Supreme Court, 2015). However, the petition by Taylor and Williams was granted but reserved as there was no evidence that Barker violated the law. This helped Barker as he was released. There was a balance between the constitutional rights and the rights of the incarcerated person. Being that he has mentally health issues, the court understood him, and the case was ruled on his favor. CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS 3 Response three Cultural sensitivity issues In correction, the police can use the reintegration method where the offenders are forced to accept some of the rights and moral standards of society. This will help them to change from negative to positive behaviors (Foucault, 1977). The beliefs vary from one culture to the next, and the offender will be forced to have a belief from the culture he/she is from. Diversity issue correction is involving the prisoners in some technical activities to help them acquire skills that will make assist them in choosing responsible choices in the future. This makes them diverse as they will focus on applying their skills in earning a living after incarceration. References CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS Foucault, M. (1977).

Constitutional rights and administration
Question 1
Incarcerated individuals do not have full constitutional rights. However, they are
protected by the Eighth Amendment from any form of cruel and unusual punishment on the basis
of racial, sexual or creed discrimination. Prisoners should also be provided a minimum standard
of living environment, right to religion, speech, right to file for appeals and right to access of
parole. Incarcerated people should enjoy freedom from any form of discrimination. Even though
the incarcerated people enjoy rights and freedoms as stated in the constitution, they are expected
to serve their full sentences.
