2. The state of North Carolina has implemented the Mutual Agreement
Parole Program (MAPP) since 1975 (North Carolina Department of
Corrections, 2011). Because its 2011 report indicates that approximately
10% of the inmates who started the program were terminated from the
program, the Centervale State Penitentiary has decided to review North
Carolina's MAPP model to determine how to ethically create its own
model.
You are a consultant who has been hired by the Centervale State
Penitentiary to research and build a workable model of a new MAPP-
like program. Like all programs, the MAPP model is expected to have
strengths and weaknesses. North Carolina has published not only its
2011 report but also its MAPP's policies and procedures. The director
and warden of Centervale Prison have asked you to review these
documents and report on the following in an 8- to 10-page document.
Make sure your document is APA formatted and follows guidelines of
the sixth edition of the APA, using credible scholarly, academic, and
government resources.
Here’s What You Need to Do . . .
Research the purposes and goals of inmate reentry programs. Define and
discuss the purposes and goals of inmate reentry as they relate to the
ethical obligations prison administrators and government officials have
to society.
North Carolina has been criticized for allowing violent offenders to
return to society only to reoffend (see the digital resources). Some
citizens of Centervale are concerned about violent offenders who were
once in maximum security, sentenced to life in prison, but who are now
in medium or minimum security after completing or continuing
extensive inmate rehabilitation programming, being accepted into the

3. MAPP and eventually being released into Centervale. Recently, citizens
have raised their concerns to the warden and director of prisons because
a MAPP parole reoffended by committing a violent sexual assault on an
elderly female after one week of his release from prison. Evaluate the
criteria for eligibility for North Carolina's MAPP. Address citizen
concerns and prison programming's impact on society if the Centervale
State Penitentiary were to adopt a similar model. Propose modifications
to North Carolina's MAPP eligibility criteria toward ethical obligations
to public safety. Be sure to provide support for your proposed changes
based on your research on other reentry programs.
In August 1979, the state of Wisconsin published a report on the
problems that ended its Department of Corrections Mutual Agreement
Parole Program. Some of the problems that the Department of Health
and Social Services identified were as follows (State of Wisconsin,
1979, pp. 116–123):
No clear expectations and goals were set for inmates.
There was lack of rational planning structure by staff.
The prison administration did not value or train the MAPP staff
efficiently or effectively.
The MAPP had no real links to outside inmate employment
opportunities.
No postrelease follow-through took place.
Compare North Carolina's MAPP policy and procedures with the
understanding that Wisconsin's program fell apart because of some of
the problems listed above.

4. As a consultant for the Centervale State Penitentiary, recommend how
Centervale's new model might address Wisconsin's problems a, b, c, d,
and e. Develop solutions to these problems and support your ideas with
research on programming models that have proven to be successful.
Analyze North Carolina's policy and procedure for termination or
renegotiation for inmate MAPP contracts. What changes or
recommendations to this policy and procedure might you suggest for
Centervale?
The director of prisons has come to you with concerns that his office is
being criticized for being soft on crime. He claims that the Gainsville
state attorney general has accused him of unethical practice by making
promises to parole inmates who are considered dangerous to society
through the new MAPP program regardless of Gainsville state's
attorneys, judges, victims, witnesses, and law enforcement officers who
testified in their trials by writing compelling letters protesting the
inmates' release.
The Gainsville state attorney general has argued that North Carolina's
MAPP eligibility requirement of being infraction free for ninety days is
unreasonable because the inmate who was released and who reoffended
after only seven days had forty-one infractions over more than fifteen
years, including assaults on prison staff and attempted sexual assaults on
other inmates, before being infraction free for ninety days and, therefore,
qualifying for the MAPP.
The attorney general further argued that infraction free for ninety days or
not, this inmate should have never qualified for the MAPP in North
Carolina and that it was unethical to put citizens at risk by granting him
parole.

5. The director of prisons tells you that the Gainsville attorney general has
begun a movement for a new type of parole board in response to the
director's announcement that the MAPP might be coming to Centervale.
The Gainsville attorney general wants the citizens of Centervale
represented on the MAPP parole board. Recommend how you might
create a board of individuals that would take into account the ethical
considerations of the inmates, the MAPP staff, the victims and families
of the convicted inmate being considered for release, and the citizens of
Centervale.

Centervale State Penitentiary Management of
Prison Violence

7. For more classes visit
www.snaptutorial.com
The Ninth Circuit Court has received a large number of complaints filed
by prisoners claiming that their civil rights are being violated because
they are housed in accommodations made unsafe due to the frequent
outbursts of violence in the Centervale State Penitentiary. As a result,
the Ninth Circuit Court judge has given the governor an ultimatum that
if the amount of violence in the prison is not reduced, the prison's
management and leadership will be turned over to the federal
government.
The director of prisons is now under scrutiny because it appears that the
warden, his administrators, and his staff are not maintaining a safe
environment for staff either, as evidenced by the brutal beating of a male
staff member during a fight between two prison gangs in the corridor
outside the mess hall inside the Centervale State Penitentiary.
As the assistant to the warden's director of the Penology Research Team,
you have been asked to prepare a report that explains penology theory,
prison violence, inmate programming, and rehabilitation for the warden
and for the director of prisons that the governor will most likely review.
Challenges that you will have to address in your report are many, but
primarily, the director of prisons is interested in how prison violence
will be reduced by 5% within one year, regardless of the fact that the

8. legislature has just cut even more funding on the corrections system
when the prison is understaffed and inmates are in need of programs.
Here’s What You Need to Do . . .
Using APA format and APA guidelines, compose an 8- to 10-page paper
using the Argosy University online library resources to address the
following:
Define and discuss in detail the goals of penology theory and integrate
the discussion with the overarching goal of prison management and
leadership.
Research US penology theory and practice. Identify and explain five
strengths and five weaknesses of the US prison management system as a
whole.
The Centervale State Penitentiary is an old prison with a limited number
of cameras in a few places. It does not have state-of-the-art equipment,
and its policies and procedures to counteract prison violence have been
in place for decades. Research penology prison violence reduction plans,
policy, and procedure using the Argosy University online library
resources. Discuss at least one violence reduction program that has
failed and one program that you think might work. Be sure to explain
why the program was successful or why it might have failed.
The Centervale State Penitentiary has two programs for inmates to work
in—the Cafeteria Program and the Prison Grounds Program. No
educational programs exist at this time. Propose a course of action to
reduce violence by implementing the following:
Educational Programming
Employee Developmental Training

9. Proactive Supervision Model
The brutal beating of Centervale State Penitentiary corrections Officer
Brian Belle outraged the public to the extent that some citizens protested
against inmates' rights in the state capitol. Officer Belle suffered a
broken leg, a broken arm, eight broken ribs, one broken vertebrae, and a
skull fracture, which caused medical professionals to keep him in a
medically induced coma for over a month.
After more than six months, Officer Belle returned to work, only to face
the same situation again in the same corridor under the same policies.
Staunchly, Officer Belle maintains his authority in the prison and intends
to testify against them at their trial.
Officer Belle constantly receives community support, and the District
Attorney's Office receives constant complaints about how long it is
taking to try the inmates charged with assaulting Officer Belle.
Research and explain from a broad perspective how prison violence
impacts society. Does prison violence impact society? Be very specific
in stating ways in which prison violence might impact society, based on
your research findings using credible sources.
