 Week 1

 Goals of Sentencing. Discuss the pros and cons of four of the six correctional aims or goals of sentencing.

 History of Corrections. Compare and contrast the differences between the corrections system today versus what you learned about the history of corrections in the United States. Identify at least one similarity and one difference between the philosophies of today’s corrections and that of the past.

 Week 2

 Constitutional Rights of Prisoners. The Supreme Court has held that prisons may restrict the constitutional rights of prisoners where the restriction is connected to a legitimate penological interest. Provide an example of this idea when prisoners’ constitutional rights may be restricted in the interest of a legitimate jail function.
