  • Summary Of The Hot House: Life Inside Leavenworth Prison?

    1325 Words  | 3 Pages

    In the United States, a citizen has rights granted to them under documents such as the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights, which gives citizens certain freedoms as long as they obey the law. When someone commits a crime, they are then entitled to aspects such as a speedy trial, a fair jury, an attorney if they wish, and other things, under the sixth amendment. Even if the person is found guilty, as a U.S. citizen they have rights under the eighth amendment which include protection against excessive bail or fines, and cruel and unusual punishment. Since the framers enacted the amendment, the exact definition of cruel and unusual punishment has been difficult to pin down, changing with the times and everyone’s interpretations. Pete Earley’s novel, The Hot House: Life Inside Leavenworth Prison, depicts the conditions in the United States’ toughest prison, where some prisoner recounts, as well as Earley’s

  • The Other Wes Moore

    829 Words  | 2 Pages

    In this book published in 2011, Moore, the author clearly aims at the achievement of two main objectives. The first is to provide an account of his life and the other to show the similarities to that of the counterpart, the namesake. He also aims at helping the readers and the general public identify various issues that lead people to commit crimes in America and the community in general. He manages to simplify his message in a single quote by asserting that one the Moores was free and the other had come to learn that he experienced similar things that he only dreamt of that the other boy had gone through. The second Moore had been convicted to a life sentence, and would spend the rest of his life behind bars for the murder of a police officer during a robbe...

  • Letters from a Birmingham Jail

    1524 Words  | 4 Pages

    Aristotle is a very citable man when it comes to the way we think today. His rhetoric techniques are still being used in today's society. The Neo-Aristotelian Criticism is three different appeals of persuasion. This is ethos, pathos and logos, which makes one heck of a convincing argument. Ethos gives credibility, pathos shows emotion and logos uses words. In the text, Letter from Birmingham Jail, we find many examples of the criticism. Martin Luther King Jr. is writing a letter from inside the jail of Birmingham in April of 1963. This letter King wrote was in response to a letter he received from the religious leaders after King is making a stand against the racial issues in Alabama. These leaders stand firm in their letter when they say that when rights are being denied, they should be handled in the courts with negotiations and not in the streets. The authorities have placed Martin Luther King Jr. against his own will after his demonstration of desegregation. While incarcerated, King managed to find anything and everything to write this letter that is now famous for being a link to the end of public racism all over the nation. The content of the letter is filled with appeals of ethos, pathos and logos, which is necessary to make a strong argument.

    Imagine living in a concentration camp where you were starved and not treated with any respect, how long do you think you could last? In concentration camps the Nazis subjected millions of people including both Jews and other victim groups to forced labor under brutal conditions. In the early 1900’s, 1937 to be exact, the Nazis exploited the forced labor of so called “enemies of the state” for economic gain and to meet desperate labor shortage. At the end of the year, most Jewish men in Germany were required to perform forced labor for various government agencies. The German authorities required Polish Jews to live in Ghettos and deployed the Polish Jews at labor. For Jews, the ability to work often meant the potential to survive. After the Nazis began to implement the “Final solution” a plan to murder all of European jewry. Jews that didn’t work were often killed or deported. A conscious policy of “annihilation through work” , under certain categories that prisoners were worked to death. Camp Prisoners

  • Stanford Prison Experiment Essay

    553 Words  | 2 Pages

    Zimbard's Stanford prison experiment revealed how social roles can influence our behavior. There are many ways that people can influence our behavior, but perhaps one of the most important is that the presence of others seems to set up expectations. We do not expect people to behave randomly but to behave in certain ways in particular situations.  Each social situation entails its own particular set of expectations about the proper way to behave. Such expectations can vary from group to group. One way in which these expectations become apparent is when we look at the roles that people play in society. Social roles are the part people play as members of a social group. With each social role we adopt, our behavior changes to fit the expectations

  • The Obsidian Prison: A Short Story

    609 Words  | 2 Pages

    I look out of my prison windows, only to see a faint outline of trees and mountains, the fog blocking most of my view of the landscape surrounding The Obsidian Prison. The sky is painted a deep shade of azure, while tufts of clouds float freely in the air, as if mocking me for being locked up in this little form of hell. My eyes scan the surroundings, and the only thing I can clearly see is the ring of mountains blocking any chance of escape; the only way out, is through the pass. However, that is easier said than done. From my position in The Obsidian Prison, I can see small figures in the distance; and I know it can only mean one thing: elves.

    In the fall semester of 2017, I taught an art class with the Restorative Justice Initiative program in the State Correctional Institution (SCI) prison education program in Bellefonte, PA. I am a Ph.D. candidate in Art Education and Women’s, Gender, & Sexuality dual-title degree program, and my goal for teaching art with the prison education program is to provide a non-verbal way of communication for inmates to express themselves to reduce tension and stress. For many of the inmates, an art program is an alternative course of therapy to help them communicate by using creative techniques in the prison and upon release.
