National Paralegal College Corrections project

Corrections Project

What recommendations would you make to influence policy changes in correctional operations? During this course, we will cover various aspects of the correctional system that affects, both inmates and correctional officers. Your task is to provide a presentation to the community/local government, state legislature, and finally the warden of your state.

Do you believe incarceration is an effective deterrent to crime? Why or why not? Base your view on thinking on current events that have taken place over the past 10 yrs. Those cases that you thought were excessive in punishment or too lenient.

Your presentation may take the form of a two-page word document or a 10 slide PowerPoint presentation. Use APA formatting in whichever one you chose. The word document should have a cover page and reference page which do not count towards the two-page requirement. The PowerPoint presentation should have a cover slide and a reference slide which do not count towards the total slide count.

In-text citations are required and one (1) website from a blog, newspaper, business magazine, etc
will be accepted. Textbook and peer-reviewed journal articles are required.
