abstract, references, and table of cases), using a minimum of 10 references and three United
States Supreme Court cases dealing with prison conditions, prisoner rights, and access to
medical treatment.
Chapter five, "Prison Systems," of your textbook will give you some rudimentary information on
the current types of prisons; you will supplement this with empirical research in order to fully
explore modern prison systems and respond to the following:
Examine the correctional eras in the United States starting with the first era in the 1790s and
covering the various eras to include the major reasons for the movement toward prisonization
in the 1960s to present practices.
Examine the historical evolution of the Panopticon (all-seeing prison style) developed by
Jeremy Bentham and the impact of this style on modern system architecture and the use of
closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras.
Analyze the political changes in society and the impact of correctional rationales on
correctional practice; include how special interest groups and the current intolerance for
criminals have forged correctional philosophies.
Compare and contrast the impact of correctional theories and punishment on the
effectiveness or ineffectiveness of the correctional enterprise system.
Examine the use and the constitutionality of the prison privatization industry; include analysis
of stockholders' influence on rehabilitation and what classification of prisoners should be
incarcerated in private prisons compared to state prisons (i.e., minimum, medium, maximum,
and super-max). Articulate your opinion based on empirical research and citation of court cases
and reference materials from academic and scientific journal articles.
Consider the future of corrections. Compare and contrast the formal and informal social
control around the globe and the impact the social control has on the future of corrections
policies. Reference a modern prison system, either in your state or in another state, from your
research.
Include an APA-formatted reference page that links back to your in-text citations and supports
your recommendations. Remember, you cannot have only in-text citations or only references.
You must have both because in-text citations and references link to each other.
