INTRODUCTION
Parole involves inmate release before the expiration of the court-imposed sentence, with a period of inmate supervision that must be completed successfully, based on conditions and terms imposed by the commission. Parole affects the size of the prison population and discipline within the facility. Parole remains controversial and has experienced a number of changes over the years. Parole Release Criteria Paper
Suppose you have been selected for the commission of corrections for the state in which you reside. In that capacity, you have been asked to develop criteria for parole release in your state. You want to ensure key stakeholder positions are accounted for in your determinations.
For your initial discussion post, address the following:
- Determine four criteria for parole release that you would propose.
- Explain the rationale behind your parole release criteria determinations.
- Predict three potential implications associated with the parole release criteria; one to the inmate, one to corrections staff, and one to society.
You must proofread your paper. But do not strictly rely on your computer’s spell-checker and grammar-checker; failure to do so indicates a lack of effort on your part and you can expect your grade to suffer accordingly. Papers with numerous misspelled words and grammatical mistakes will be penalized. Read over your paper – in silence and then aloud – before handing it in and make corrections as necessary. Often it is advantageous to have a friend proofread your paper for obvious errors. Handwritten corrections are preferable to uncorrected mistakes.
Use a standard 10 to 12 point (10 to 12 characters per inch) typeface. Smaller or compressed type and papers with small margins or single-spacing are hard to read. It is better to let your essay run over the recommended number of pages than to try to compress it into fewer pages.
Likewise, large type, large margins, large indentations, triple-spacing, increased leading (space between lines), increased kerning (space between letters), and any other such attempts at “padding” to increase the length of a paper are unacceptable, wasteful of trees, and will not fool your professor.
The paper must be neatly formatted, double-spaced with a one-inch margin on the top, bottom, and sides of each page. When submitting hard copy, be sure to use white paper and print out using dark ink. If it is hard to read your essay, it will also be hard to follow your argument.
