After reading and reflecting upon the article, “Prison Architecture and Inmate M

After reading and reflecting upon the article, “Prison Architecture and Inmate Misconduct,” which perspective do you believe provides the best explanation of inmate misconduct: the deprivation perspective, the importation perspective, or the situational perspective? Be sure to explain why and fully elaborate. And, based upon what you have read so far in this class, which type of prison architecture do you believe would be the best in deterring staff-inmate inappropriate relationships? Elaborate. Next, as you may know, very few states offer conjugal visits between inmates and their intimate partners. Based upon the readings for Week Five, do you feel as though Texas prisons should offer conjugal visits? Why or why not? Elaborate. Do you believe Texas prison wardens would support conjugal visits? Explain your answer. Next, in their article, Pleggenkuhle and colleagues (2018) allude to the fact that more than 1/3 of the respondents in their sample had not received a visit during their incarceration. Assuming that visitation has positive benefits for the offender, please provide at least one original suggestion as to how inmates who do not receive visits can still experience some of the positive benefits of visitation? In other words, what, if anything, can be done to help inmates who have very limited close contacts outside the prison walls? Your suggestion should be creative, yet also realistic. Next, in her article, Lynne Haney focuses primarily on incarcerated fathers but has very little to say about incarcerated mothers. In your opinion, if an incarcerated mother is pregnant and has a child, should the newborn child be permitted to live with the mother for any given length of time — even if it is in a prison or prison hospital? Fully elaborate. And, after reflecting upon Haney’s article, please point to one example from the paper which illustrates how recently released inmates may be so tangled up in the child support system that they turn to crime. Be specific. Finally, Haney discusses how former inmates who are entangled in the child support system are often “at the bottom of the dating pool” because of all the issues and complications they must contend with (p. 36). If it is, indeed, true that a reliable female companion can exponentially help a formerly released inmate meet his child support obligations, what can social services agencies, criminal justice agencies, or society as a whole do to help male ex-convicts (especially those with child support obligations) be seen as more viable partners? Be creative, yet realistic.

You have been asked to write a report for a local community organization. The subject of your report will be “Divorce in Flordia from A to Z.” Your report will walk the readers through a typical divorce case. Do not simply list all of the applicable laws in the abstract. Instead, describe the law and give concrete examples of every law that you explain. The best way to do this is to present the law in the context of a hypothetical fact situation. Tell your readers that you will present the law by using an example. Here are the facts that you can use for the example:
Rita and Paul Smith were married in this state 10 years ago. They have two children, Paul
Jr. (age 6) and Helen (age 3). They are in the process of a divorce. Rita wants sole custody
of both children. So does Paul. As of the date of the divorce, the parties have a home
(bought during the marriage), two cars, five bank accounts, as well as stocks and bonds.
The house is in Paul’s name only. Both cars are in Rita’s name only. Everything else is in
their joint names. Paul is a doctor with a high income. He has his own patients. He also is
an employee of a hospital where he has an excellent pension. Rita is an accountant. For
health reasons, however, she will not be able to return to any kind of work for about six
years. Soon, she will have major surgery from which she will need several years to
recuperate. In addition to the disagreement over child custody, Rita and Paul also
disagree over dividing marital property, and about alimony and child support.
Copy this fact situation at the beginning of your report and then tell your readers that you will explain the law by using the facts in this illustration.
You will need additional facts about Rita and Paul Smith as you write the report (e.g., what kind of pension does Paul have, whether they have medical insurance). You can make them up so long as they are reasonably consistent with the facts given above.
There are seven topics you need to cover in your report on how such a divorce case would be handled in this state:
1. the grounds for divorce in Florida
2. the great variety of documents that are sometimes involved in divorce cases and the function of each document
3. how property is divided between the parties
4. spousal support/maintenance
5. child support
6. child custody
7. the enforcement of the divorce decree when one of the parties fails to comply with any part of the decree.
Use the Rita and Paul Smith case as the point of departure in your report. You do not have to limit yourself to the law that would apply to the Smith case. You can go beyond the facts of the Smith case in order to cover facts that may not be in the case. Cover the law that would apply to the Smith case, but it is permissible for you to deviate occasionally from the facts of the Smith case in order to cover the law of important facts that may not be in this particular case.
Be specific and be detailed. Assume that the community group members who will be reading your report are hungry for information but know nothing about the law. Therefore you must define all legal terms.

This week we’ll look at specialized courts, which exist in part to give defendan

This week we’ll look at specialized courts, which exist in part to give defendants/offenders an alternative from the usual adjudication. Hopefully, you’re a little familiar with these specialized courts, which include drug courts, veteran (military) courts, etc. We’re not going to get too involved in this topic, I just want you to do a little research and give your thoughts in the forum.  
I posted a link to the New York Problem-Solving Court system. (Home of Problem-Solving Courts | NYCOURTS.GOV). Please go through the website and look at some of the links to understand how it works, who is eligible, etc.
For the discussion, post your thoughts on if you think these specialized courts, especially the drug courts, are worth setting up permanently in the state and federal system. In other words, should we incorporate these types of specialized courts in our current judicial system, and if so, where do we draw the line?
Should other specialized courts exist for domestic violence offenders, gang offenses, etc?
At some point, the cost may be more than the benefit of having too many of these courts…. Since we don’t have a research writing assignment this week, please make this a lengthy Discussion post to show you’ve taken the time to go through the website and have a good understanding of how these specialized courts function.

This is an admissions essay. I’m interested in going into law. In terms of overc

This is an admissions essay. I’m interested in going into law. In terms of overcoming adversity and being reslient, my father was abusive, a very difficult personality, and my introduction to the law was him fighting for visitation and custody, despite my vehement protests to anyone who would listen. I have an issue with the concept of judicial immunity, as I have read stories of judges — in the county I live it — sending children to live with the very parent who abused them because said parent claimed “parental alienation” which is a concept that has been rejected by science and psychology for years. My father also claimed alienation and I was forced to see multiple therapists and a “guardian ad litem.” I told all of them that I didn’t want to have anything to do with my father. He kept fighting to see me until he finally threatened me, in the open, in front of my mother, with going back to court to try to get full custody of me. And he did. He lost, but it was the scariest time of my life.
In any case, I have a 3.7 GPA, have been in a history/English/art honors program for the past 2 years. I have also had a job for the past year and a half teaching swimming to toddlers and small children, who, just like my father, represent a population of “difficult people.”
I’ve attached my sisters college admissions essay just for reference. I’m usually a good writer but can’t seem to get this essay off the ground.
