The three problems are going to be:
1. Prison Overcrowding
2. Poor Mental Health Care in Prison
3. Privatization of Prisons
You have been tasked with the following:
(1) Identify and describe what you perceive as being the largest three issues currently impacting U.S. correctional institutions;
(2) Briefly describe the historical development of your identified issues;
(3) Discuss how your chosen issues negatively impact upholding institutional safety and security;
(4) Provide and discuss a minimum of three possible solutions for your chosen issues;
(5) Discuss how the Tennessee Department of Correction could realistically implement your potential solutions.
In answering the above questions, please be sure that you discuss your identified problems at length with each being supported with peer-reviewed research. Then, you will need to argue what programming, treatment, and/or policy changes would address this problem best while also discussing what other programming options would not be ideal (two to three detailed examples is fine). Remember, the goal of the paper is to demonstrate to the Governor that you know what the problems are and have supported ideas for proposed programming.
A minimum of 8 pages and a maximum of 10 pages. However, feel free to go over (not under) the required limit (if you want). This paper needs to be double-spaced and follow all APA guidelines, including a reference page for all citations appearing in your paper.
