Bail Hostel: Organization Structure, Culture, and Strategy
[ send me this paper ]
A 5 page overview of Bail Hostels. Contends that bail hostels offer an effective means of community supervision for a number of categories of people. Individuals who could benefit from a bail hostel program include the homeless, the elderly, the mentally ill, and individuals on probation. One of the most productive uses of the bail hostel system, however, is in their use as alternative housing criminals. Such use could, under certain circumstances, be more economical and efficient than typical prison scenarios. There are, however, a number of considerations which must be made in the bail hostel environment. These considerations include funding, management and staffing, supervision, equal opportunity issues, community interaction, risk management, physical configuration of the facility.

Capital Punishment and Juvenile Offenders
[ send me this paper ]
This 5 page paper considers the issue of capital punishment for juvenile offenders. Over the course of the past two decades, the issue of capital punishment and its application for juvenile offenders has been at the heart of legal debates. In 1988, the United States Supreme Court, in their decision in the case of Thompson v. Oklahoma (487 U.S. 815 (1988)), argued that the use of capital punishment for minors constituted "cruel and unusual punishment" as defined by the Eighth Amendment. Just one year later, in the case of Stanford v. Kentucky (492 U.S. 361 (1989)), the Court held that the Eighth Amendment did not categorically oppose the use of capital punishment for 16 or 17 year old juvenile offenders.

Capital Punishment Related To Juvenile Crime
[ send me this paper ]
5 pages in length. The recent incidence of juvenile killers has brought to light a concern that has long challenged the fundamental components of a civilized society: Should adolescents who commit murder be sentenced to death the same as their adult counterparts? While some contend that permitting capital punishment blatantly violates both international law and constitutionality – asserting juveniles are often a product of their adverse environments and, therefore, should be given extensive behavioral therapy in order to assimilate back into society – others argue that adolescents who have not yet learned the difference between right and wrong should no longer be allowed to function as a civilized human being.
