Paper details:
This Issue: Poverty continues inhibiting prevention and recidivism Some of the issues contributing to the high number of incarcerations include drug use and mental health.
The money set aside for policing and detentions could be better spent on community prevention and treatment programs. Recidivism can also be reduced if the federal Pell Grants were restored to inmates.
These grants allowed federal education support and financial aid to help rehabilitate those incarcerated and giving them a second chance.
Additionally, the system requiring people to pay cash bail adds to the problem.
It is estimated that 3 out of 5 people in jail have not been convicted for a crime, but are too poor to meet the bail set by the court. Answer these questions in an Essay Format: What is the problem being addressed (explain, describe, and “prove” that it exists)?
Who is affected by this problem? Why does this problem exist (identify the root causes)? Why does the problem persist (identify the major factors that contribute to the problem’s ongoing presence)? What is at stake if the problem is not solved?
If you decide to include a solution, use these questions to guide you: Who can take action? What should they do, exactly? Why would this help? What are the positive and negative aspects of your solution(s)?
