Week 5 Project: Prisoners’ Rights
You work in the administrative office of a correctional facility and handle complaints about violations of prisoners’ rights. A conference on prisoners’ rights is being held in the near future. Your supervisor asks you to study a report on violations of prisoners’ rights and prepare a Microsoft PowerPoint presentation for the conference. The presentation will include an analysis of how courts handle cases of violation of prisoners’ rights.
In your presentation:
- Identify trends in the most common prisoner issues and the way courts handle violations of prisoners’ rights.
- Focus on the following six issues:
- Living conditions
- Medical and mental health care
- Physical security
- Fourth Amendment rights
- Religious freedom
- Access to a law library, courts, and lawyers
- Provide an innovative solution (for any one of these issues) to resolve the problem.
