    regions.

    6) Compare and contrast the two philosophical orientations of incapacitation and deterrence. In
    your opinion, which one is the better approach to correctional practice?

    7) Compare and contrast the terms disparity and discrimination. Which one do you think is most
    appropriate to explaining the overwhelming proportion of minority inmates behind bars?

    of each?

    9) What is restorative justice and how is it unique from many other perspectives on the resolution

    12) Identify and discuss legal liabilities associated with correctional staff.

    13) How would you describe the current relationship between corrections and judicial oversight? Is
    it now balanced, or are prisons systems still under close scrutiny?

    14) Compare and contrast state tort cases and federal Section 1983 cases.

    15) Discuss injunctions and consent decrees. What is the purpose of each when leveled against a
    correctional system?

    17) What is booking, and why is this area of the jail so important?

    18) Discuss the dynamics of suicide within the jail facility.
