Discussion- Why is suicide a greater problem in jails than prisons despite the great differences in time served in these two types of facilities?.
Step 1: Post your information to the discussion board. Read each question carefully before answering. Make sure you back your argument but relevant reference from the assigned text. When appropriate use page numbers to cite. Post the following to the board: 1. Why is suicide a greater problem in jails than prisons despite the great differences in time served in these two types of facilities? What does this suggest about the criminality of jail versus prison inmates? 2. Given the potential devastating labeling implications of arrest, should only persons charged with violent crimes be formally entered into the system? Should everyone else be given one or more chances on diversion? 3. Is net widening really a problem? Why are criminologists the only group that appears concerned about the growth of the correctional population in the community? Does the public mind? 4. Many probationers receive scant attention from their probation officers, but heinous crimes by probationers are relatively infrequent. Does this suggest that less is more when it comes to probation supervision? Discuss the limitations of work load and its implications on quality supervision and community safety.
