Course Summary:

The course will serve as a broad introduction to the American correctional system with particular focus on the use of imprisonment as a means of controlling criminal behavior. The first major topic will be the history of the penitentiary. The prison first emerged in America as an humane experimental alternative to earlier English practices including capital punishment, estate forfeiture, transportation, and branding. The early prison systems developed in Pennsylvania and New York will be compared. Later developments such as the reformatory movement, the warehousing era, and the emergence of the medical model in corrections will be examined. Particular focus will be placed on the major changes in American prisons from the 1960s through the 1990s, including the rejection of institutional authority by inmates, the growth of correctional staff professionalization and unionization, prison rioting, inmate lawsuits, federal judicial involvement in the everyday affairs of state prison systems, the rise of the justice model, and the effects of stiff new sentencing guidelines on institutional overcrowding and early release policies. Contemporary jails and prisons will be compared.

In the second major portion of the course, we will try to answer a number of basic questions about everyday life in prisons and jails. For example: who goes to prison and why, and for how long? How do maximum, medium, and minimum security facilities differ? How important is effective management and leadership to the operation of an effective and safe prison system? What are the inmate subcultures new arrivals are likely to face? How do inmates cope with the pains of imprisonment such as the deprivations of freedom, goods, sex, and social status? How do male and female inmate subcultures differ? What social services and educational or vocational training is available for inmates? Are adequate reintegrative services provided, particularly for high risk offenders?

Reading Schedule:

Attendance, Testing and Grading Policies:

There will be two examinations in this course, a midterm and a final. Each will be worth 1/3 of the student's final grade. An additional 1/3 will come from a term paper (described below). The examinations will cover readings, lectures, guest speakers, and any video tapes shown in class. Questions will of three types: multiple choice (40%), identification (30%) and essay (30%). Students will be required to bring blue books to the instructor prior to tests. Exams will not be cumulative.

Those who miss more than 4 classes will receive a failing grade. Leaving early or arriving late on a regular basis will not be tolerated.

Students are also required to turn in a short written assignment each week, based on that week's reading assignments. The assignment consists of designing 4 multiple choice questions each week, 2 of which will cover the main text while the other 2 are based on the additional readings. Questions should have four or five possible answers with the correct answer being provided to the instructor. Students will be awarded one extra credit point for each question selected for the test bank. Those who do not turn in the written assignments on time each week will have one point deducted from their final point total.

Term Paper Requirements:

The term paper must focus on a particular aspect of American corrections. Examples might include sentencing practices, inmate subcultures, correctional staffing, secure juvenile institutions, prison rehabilitative programs, sentencing patterns, the death penalty, private prisons, prison design or architecture, corrections law, etc. Traditional community corrections topics such as probation and parole should be avoided.

Your paper must be double-spaced, with standard margins (approximately 1" all around), and consist of a minimum 10 pages of text, not including title page, bibliography, or illustrations. One letter grade will be deducted for each page short of the 10 page minimum. You must use at least 10 sources in your paper. Papers must include pagination. You are encouraged to use the bibliography in the rear of your book to locate relevant articles and books for your paper. The selected additional bibliography attached to this syllabus can also provide you with a good start for your paper. Criminal Justice Abstracts is another good source for locating recent journal articles.

Any other questions concerning style or format should be referred to Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (4th. edition, 1994). Any major format deviations will result in the loss of a letter grade. Plagiarism will not be tolerated and will result in failure of the course

The first paragraph of your paper is most important. The major theme or topic of your paper should be stated in the very first sentence. Each following sentence in the first paragraph should introduce the remaining subtopics of the paper. In other words, the paper will begin with an outline or abstract of its contents.

A draft of your paper will be due on March 28th. At that time your paper will be evaluated by a fellow classmate using the accompanying evaluation guide. One week later another student will evaluate your paper. You will then have one week to reedit your paper incorporating your classmates' suggestions. The final version of the paper will be due one week prior to the last day of class, on April 18th. All late papers will be assigned a 1/2 letter grade penalty for each day they are late. Missing any of the other deadlines will also result in a 1/2 letter grade penalty
