Correctional practices have evolved significantly over time from ancient systems of retribution to modern approaches. Early systems like the Code of Hammurabi in ancient Mesopotamia used punishments like amputation, execution, and fines with no use of imprisonment. Transportation of criminals overseas became common in the 17th-18th centuries in places like Australia. Early prisons in the 18th century focused on isolation, penance, work, and religious instruction. Reforms in the late 18th century aimed to make prisons more sanitary, secure, and use discipline and work for reformation. The 19th century saw the development of different prison models in the US like the Pennsylvania and Auburn systems that used either solitary confinement or congregate work

The document discusses the taxability of capital gains in the context of joint development agreements under Indian tax law. It summarizes key court decisions which have found that transfer occurs upon execution of the agreement if possession is handed over, or upon a later transaction granting possession if specified in the agreement. Where transfer triggers tax, the landowner can use fair market value or Section 54 exemption. Transfer generally requires allowing possession in part performance of an agreement to develop the property.

History of prisons in america
Two early prison systems that emerged in the 19th century in America were the Pennsylvania System and the Auburn System. The Pennsylvania System involved solitary confinement and silence, with no corporal punishment. The Auburn System was implemented in a New York prison in 1815 and had inmates work silently together during the day. These systems spread across America and the world. Early American prisons were often dark, overcrowded, and unsanitary, housing both minor criminals and felons. Through the 19th century, prison reform sought to use incarceration to morally reform inmates through discipline and labor, rather than just punishment.

1) Inmates go through classification tests before prison entry and must adjust to a no-frills policy where prisons punish, not coddle.
2) Prison life involves deprivation of liberty, goods, relationships and autonomy under constant surveillance in overcrowded facilities.
3) Inmates develop unique subcultures and codes of conduct to navigate prisonization, with African American and Latino inmates more cohesively organized than whites.
4) Rehabilitation programs like counseling, education and vocational training provide benefits in and out of prison, but inmates face risks of reentry like reconviction due to lack of preparation for conventional life.

This document outlines the responsibilities of a probation officer at different experience levels. For entry-level officers, it involves conducting risk assessments, developing supervision plans, monitoring compliance through contacts, investigating violations, and documenting activities. More experienced officers manage higher-risk caseloads using advanced strategies like increased surveillance and testing. All officers must comply with policies and procedures, maintain training and certification, and provide information to courts like conducting investigations and testifying.
Chapter10
Community-based corrections programs aim to reintegrate offenders and divert them from prison through intermediate sanctions at a lower cost. Probation is the most common punishment, where offenders are supervised in the community under court-imposed conditions. Conditions fall into standard, punitive, and treatment categories. Probation can be revoked through a three-stage process if offenders violate terms. Other sentencing options besides probation and imprisonment include fines, community service, and pretrial diversion.
Forensic+Psychology
Forensic psychology is the application of psychological methods, theories, and concepts to the legal system. The history of forensic psychology in the United States began in the early 1900s as psychologists began testifying in court cases and working in correctional settings. Key events included the first use of psychological testing by police in 1916 and the first American psychologist qualifying as an expert witness in 1921. Forensic psychologists now work in a variety of legal contexts, including evaluating competency, insanity, risk assessment, and providing expert testimony.
Testing in various areas
- Psychological testing is used for personnel selection and must meet professional and legal standards by directly relating to job requirements.
- Employment interviews can be biased while tests, when used with interviews, can improve selection success.
- Various psychological tests are used for employee selection, including personality, honesty, intelligence, aptitude, and physical tests.
- Abilities, skills, and aptitudes can predict job performance when measured by cognitive, emotional intelligence, psychomotor, and physical tests.
Evaluation of the Professional Who has Crossed Boundaries
The document outlines the process for evaluating a professional who has crossed ethical boundaries, such as engaging in sexual contact with a patient. The evaluation involves investigating any complaints, reviewing the professional's records, interviewing the professional and collateral sources, conducting psychological testing, and forming a formulation of what occurred. Factors contributing to the boundary crossing are analyzed, such as issues with training, social skills, mental health, impulse control, or situational stressors. The report makes recommendations regarding the professional's safety to practice, possibility of rehabilitation, and potential practice limitations or safeguards if re-entry is allowed.
Discovering a Career in Law Enforcement
Law enforcement is a service career that offers new challenges and opportunities. Agencies include federal, state, local, tribal, and special jurisdictions. Jobs can be sworn officer positions like patrol, investigations, or SWAT that carry guns and arrest powers, or civilian roles like crime prevention or analysis. Becoming an officer requires problem solving skills, multi-tasking ability, empathy, courage, and meeting basic requirements like citizenship, age, education, license, and fitness. The process involves application, testing, background check, drug screening, medical evaluation, polygraph, and interview. Training is through an academy and field experience.
Jones presentation
Probation is a trial period for offenders as an alternative to imprisonment. It began in 1841 when John Augustus, considered the "Father of Probation", convinced a judge to release an offender into his custody instead of prison. Probation aims to provide offenders a second chance through supervision by a probation officer and fulfilling court-ordered conditions. Probation types include informal, unsupervised, supervised, community control, and intensive probation monitoring offenders' compliance through home/workplace visits and drug tests. Violating probation rules can result in consequences like expanded probation terms, revocation leading to imprisonment, or mandated programs.
