Issues in the correctional system, the analysis of facility murder - Case Study mannequinMoreover, it explains the necessities of reducing the liberties given to the prisoners in America. According to Ikilo, (n.d.), it is the duty of The Federal Bureau of Prisons to protect society by confining offenders in the controlled environments of prisons and community-based facilities that are safe, humane, cost-efficient, and appropriately secure, and that provide work and other self-improvement opportunities to assist offenders in becoming law-abiding citizens (Ikilo, n.d.). However, nobody thinks about the galosh of correctional officers while saying volumes about the safety of the public. It should be noted that many of the correctional officers working in American jails are females. They were forced to interact with many of the hard-core criminals who have less faith in humanity and more faith in cruelty. Many of the criminals in correctional system are sex activity offenders. Moreo ver, it is quite possible that in time sane criminals may become sex offenders in jails since they are not take downting any opportunities to relieve their sex energy. Many studies have proved that homosexuality is common in American jails. This is because of the lack of opportunities for heterosexuality in jails. Under much(prenominal) circumstances, the logic of asking women officers to work in American jails can be questionable. The untoward fate suffered by Marsha Wills point towards the serious issues prevailing in American jails which needs immediate trouble from the authorities.

He may not get enough opportunities for parole or probation. The US is the only country where juveniles are serving life imprisonment without parole under the so-called life means life policy. Only the US and Somalia have refused to substantiate the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child, which rules out life sentences with no chance of release for crimes committed before the succession of 18 (Pilkington, 2011). Even though America is believed to be the most civilized country in the world, they are not so at least in end points of considering criminals who got life senten cing. In other countries such as India, life imprisonment means only 15 year jail term. Moreover, during this 15-year jail term itself the criminal can spend lots of time outside in the name of parole. Those who are behaving in good order in Indian jails, may get paroles frequently. In other words, criminals in Indian jails have hope for a future life outside the jail campus.
