Given the epidemic of inmate overcrowding and corrections personnel understaffing in the United States, do you think that Sheriff Gary Raney’s philosophy (in paragraph 2) on what the operation of a jail should be is realistic and obtainable? Why, or why not?

REPLY TO MY CLASSMATE’S RESPONSE TO THE ABOVE QUESTION AND EXPLAIN WHY YOU AGREE? (A MINIMUM OF 125 WORDS or MORE)

Sheriff Gary Raney’s philosophy outlines that jails operations should be similar to those of other human services. As a result, he emphasized that jail buildings should be improved so that they can support these human services cultures. Creating a human service culture in jails will be led to the enhancement of security for both inmates and staff working in prisons. Besides, human services conditions in prisons will help inmates improve their lives while reducing their likelihood to re-offend. I believe that an operation to provide alternative sentencing programs that would allow offenders to serve their sentences through a community contribution and reinvestment is realistic. I can be obtained rather than inmates just sitting around in jail doing nothing they can help build the nations as they serve their sentences. Besides, I think that the current pretrial system is not fair as the low-risk offenders are harmed while the high-risk offenders are often released on bail money.
