One of the problems that you will face in the real world is that of public perception of
rehabilitation and community corrections programs. Intermediate sanctions are mechanisms
and programs that relate to the supervision of criminal offenders not under strict confinement
or incarceration. Gaining support from the public for these programs requires well-documented
presentations that are accessible to general audiences and can drive powerful support and
ultimately funding for rehabilitation and community corrections programs.
Instructions:
You have been granted an internship at the Centervale Corrections Authority. Your first task is
to research and draft a presentation that will be used to educate citizens and to gain support
for funding rehabilitation and intermediate sanctions, better known as community corrections
programs.
In order to make this accessible for long-term use, you are instructed to create a presentation
that will not only educate the local citizens but build their understanding of the benefits of
rehabilitation and ultimately gain support for community corrections programs in Centervale.
Keep in mind that you are soliciting the support of the citizens and that you seek their
suggestions and recommendations.
Some of the rehabilitation and community corrections issues you will examine include
rehabilitation issues associated with gender, culture, race, ethnicity, gang activity, and criminal
organizations within the prison system. You will recommend rehabilitation and community
corrections programs that will improve the success rate for rehabilitation in Centervale's prison
populations. Your presentation will be an 8- to 10-slide Microsoft PowerPoint presentation with
script and will include the following:
Analyze the role of rehabilitation in corrections and communicate in a manner that can be
understood by the citizens of Centervale.
Analyze research regarding rehabilitation in corrections and support your presentation with
empirical research.
Examine the difficulty of implementing rehabilitation programs in the correctional
environment and include expected timelines, outcomes, and assessments.
Examine the rehabilitation issues associated with gender, culture, race, ethnicity, gang
activity, and criminal organizations within prison systems.
