This discussion centers on Chapter 5: Classification and Correctional Programming. Discuss the following questions:
In prison vernacular, what is a ‘turnout’? Research the meaning of this term outside the text.
In Ruiz v. Johnson (1999), how might this particular security problem be addressed with regard to inmate classification?
Under PREA, how might the perpetrator(s) be dealt with? What has PREA done for the prison setting?
Finally, what is an STG, and describe some administrative responses in addressing problems they cause.
Write a thoughtful and thorough post. There is a minimum 300-word requirement to discuss your response thoroughly. Be sure you properly cite sources with author and year in in-text citations. A bibliography must be included. Consult your syllabus for discussion board guidelines that you must follow. Also, I will be grading your post for grammar, sentence structure, and thoroughness.
Guidelines for Discussion Board Postings. Grammar problems – Minus 2 to 10 points per post
2. Failure to have the minimum number of words per post (Quotations,references/citings not included in the minimum number of words) – Percentage
penalty
3. Off-topic or non-supportive posts (references/citations) – Minus 2-60 points
4. No post – Zero for the assignment
5. Posting a blank initial post) If it is not corrected and reposted with relevant content
within one minute, it will result in a zero for that discussion. This is to discourage
anyone from accessing the forum to read other students’ posts without first posting.
6. Plagiarism in any post – Minus 20-60 points and one warning for the first violation.
Repeat violations will result in a zero for that week’s discussion and possible formal
action for violating the UHD Academic Honesty policy.
Any combination of the above may result in a cumulative number or additional minus
points for the assignment.
