Instruction
This reflection paper will be written from an inmate perspective. Envision yourself as being incarcerated in a state or federal prison. You can take on any characteristics you want (i.e. male or female inmate, younger or older inmate, pregnant inmate or inmate with children, mentally ill inmate although your paper should be written as a sane individual). Based on the issues discussed this semester, address the following, what are your main concerns? What do you want politicians and correctional administrators to be concerned with/pay attention to (i.e. what changes would you like to see made)? How would these changes impact you/other inmates like you? This paper should not be written in first person (i.e. avoid use of “I”). You will want to incorporate outside resources to support what you write (e.g. the inmate experience should not be imagined but based on what you have learned through resources provided in class and outside resources you locate). This reflection papers should be a minimum 5+ pages (not counting the cover page or reference page(s)), double-spaced in 12-point Times New Roman font.
