Turner v. Safley, 482 U.S. 78 (1987), was the U.S. Supreme Court case that established the legal standards that correctional facilities must meet concerning offender management policies, specifically the policies that restrict the First Amendment rights of prisoners. In Turner v. Safley, the correctional facilities were afforded the legal right to restrict the constitutional liberties of offenders when those liberties interfere with the safety and security of the institution. In other words, if a correctional institution can establish a legitimate penological reason for enacting a restrictive policy, then the policy is perfectly constitutional inside a correctional setting.This standard leaves plenty of room for offenders to continually challenge institutional policies and legislative acts, such as when an offender challenged the Ensign Amendment in Jordan v. Sosa (2008). Upon judicial review, such as in Beard v. Banks, 548 U.S. 521 (2006), restrictive prison policies are often upheld. Other times, although these policies may have previously withstood judicial scrutiny, their continued use is no longer considered to be legally viable. A recent example of one such Supreme Court decision is Holt v. Hobbs, 135 S. Ct. 853 (2015), wherein the Court deemed that the correctional practice in question no longer satisfied the Turner test. As such, the correctional agency was required to alter its practice to satisfy constitutional requirements.Referencing at least 2 credible sources and using proper American Psychological Association (APA) formatting and guidelines, submit a 3–4-page paper that examines the conflict between the needs of correctional facilities to maintain the safety and security of their institutions and the needs of offenders to maintain their personal liberties. In doing so, please complete the following:Summarize the facts surrounding Turner v. Safley.

If not, what do you think would be a better testing measure?

Describe a complex project that could be completed using a Hybrid Model.  Describe the hybrid model? Why do you feel that this model is better for this type of project? What would be the impact of completing the project using a different approach?  Part 2 Case Study Link: Going with the Flow: Agile Development at Dell | Harvard Business Publishing Education Case Study Overview:  In February 2017 the Team Project Manager and Flow Project Coordinator for Dell Technologies-Limerick (Ireland), is preparing for a review with Dell's Systems and Processes Improvement board, early in a transition from the use of one agile software development method (Scrum) to another (Flow, which applies lean manufacturing techniques to software engineering). The new manager has been on board for less than six months. With ten years' prior software development experience in Brazil, he moved to Ireland when hired by Dell. Dell is midway through its attempts to transform from a manufacturing-heavy strategy to an IT-supported service-heavy strategy; its recent acquisition of EMC is an important step in that direction, and executives expect Flow will help globally-distributed software developers produce higher quality code, faster, in follow-the-sun mode. The Flow coordinator/champion recognizes Flow is a complex innovation; it will take time and focus for busy software developers (who only recently mastered Scrum techniques) to master new Flow techniques. The champion is also concerned that needed digital Kanban functionality (essential for supporting globally distributed teams using Flow) has not yet been approved or provided by the Dell IT organization in Texas; this and other obstacles are impeding the developers' transition to Flow. Keen to demonstrate his commitment to help Dell achieve these aims, he worries that some executives expect performance improvements sooner than teams can realistically deliver. He seeks to persuade executives to be both patient and helpful. As he plans his 20-minute presentation for the next day's meeting, he is told to keep his remarks to executives simple: highlight no more than three messages. Questions: What should Ferreira do next to accelerate Flow Adoption?  What three points should Ferreira make at the 7 Feb 2017 SPI Board Review? Review the seven lean manufacturing principles and demonstrate how Ferreira used them when implementing Flow.  Part 3 Case Study Overview: In conventional business and government megaprojects--such as hydroelectric dams, chemical-processing plants, or big-bang enterprise-resource-planning systems--the standard approach is to build something monolithic and customized. Such projects must be 100% complete before they can deliver benefits: Even when it's 95% complete, a nuclear reactor is of no use. On the basis of 30 years of research and consulting on megaprojects, the author has found two factors that play a critical role in determining success or failure: replicable modularity in design and speed in iteration. The article examines those factors by looking at well-known megaprojects, both successful ones, and cautionary tales. Case Study Link Better Project Management | Harvard Business Publishing Education Using the megaproject case study  answer the following: Build and describe a complex model that can be used to manage the mega-project described in the case study linked above.  Your model should include the following: Overview of the process Pictorial design of the process Description of each phase Explanation as to why this process will work when managing megaprojects.  Assignment Requirements: The assignment is to answer the question provided above in essay form. Where applicable students can include diagrams if it will help provide a pictorial view of the solution.    This is to be in narrative form and should be as thorough as possible.
