Innovations in Correctionby:[student`s name][course number][date of submission]Innovations in CorrectionChapter 1: Choosig two goals of corrections and developing a system in line with these goalsAs has been mentioned in the book, there are five goals to corrections: punishment, deterrence, incapacitation, rehabilitation and restitution. As a new warden, I would like to focus on two goals: restitution and rehabilitation.Restitution is important because it helps victims feel the justice in the sentence awarded. Because they are involved in the process of adjudication, revenge crimes can be prevented (Seiter, 2011, p. 34). Moreover, despite the wrong done against victims by including them in the sentencing of perpetrators, they can start trusting the government mechanism for justice and they can start to live normally again.Also, is the use of chain gangs that work in community service is another advantage of restitution (Seiter, 2011, p. 33). Though this move, the government save money for infrastructure projects since they no longer have to pay for manual laborers. On the other hand, inmates do not become freeloaders – they earn their keep.Rehabilitation is another important goal because it helps convicts to reintegrate with society after serving their sentence. This way, they can begin to have a normal life and hopefully prevent them from returning to crime (Seiter, 2011, p. 32). All too often, when convicts get out of prison, they are unable to get employment. Some of these convicts may revert to petty crimes such as theft and robbery. By teaching inmates livelihood skills, they can earn income and empower them when they go back to their own communities.Chapter 2:1) What role did John Howard play in the early development of jails?John Howard was one of the early jail reformers who pushed for the English penitentiary Act that allowed for “secure and sanitary structures, systematic inspections, and sanitary structures, systematic inspectionsâ€ADDIN Mendeley Citation{c56f98a1-2717-4317-9f04-6f6c51005601} CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : [ { "id" : "ITEM-1", "itemData" : { "author" : [ { "family" : "Seiter", "given" : "Richard P." } ], "edition" : "3rd", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issued" : { "date-parts" : [ [ "2011" ] ] }, "publisher" : "Prentice Hall", "title" : "Corrections: An Introduction", "type" : "book" }, "uris" : [ "http://www.mendeley.com/documents/?uuid=c56f98a1-2717-4317-9f04-6f6c51005601" ] } ], "mendeley" : { "manualFormatting" : "(Seiter, 2011, pp.19-20)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Seiter, 2011)" }, "properties" : { "noteIndex" : 0 }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" } (Seiter, 2011, pp.19-20).2) What are the advantages of a regional jail?Regional jails are able to take advantage of the economies of scale so it`s much cheaper to operate.
