There are 4 levels of education that prisoners may complete while completing their sentence.

-The 4 levels of education include:

a) Basic: general education degree for those who require a grade school education background that is completed in 2 years and finalized with a government accredited exam.

b) General: The GED High school equivalency program-inmates are given 2 years to complete their GED Diploma with 600 lessons to ensure that spare time is spent studying rather than obsolete inactivity in solitary confinement.

-is followed by an exam mailed to the government.

c) Advanced Education:

Level one: Vocation training/volunteer: an inmate may complete a career training placement in order to gain of insight on their future career as well as gain experience needed to begin a career

Level two: In addition to career training is the theoretical component of the education program which requires inmates to either study at the Siberius Schools or study online with membership to online universities.

Siberius University

-Offers education degrees including Bachelor of Science, Management, Education, Psychology, Economics, Mathematics, Technology, Health Sciences, Fine Arts, Political Science etc.

-Each education degree will contain designated courses and mandatory courses such as English, Law Mathematics, Economics, Science (2 courses chosen in Biology, Physics, Chemistry, Technology, Neurology, Psychology, etc.).

Level three: The Masters / PhD Program: Inmates who have completed a Bachelor's Degree can now apply to universities that are online for to receive a master's degree.

Level four: Inmates would apply for designated careers in for example psychology to work as psychologists or legal representatives for other prisoners. Therefore making a difference in prisons and in society on conditional release.

The system is made up of 16 prisons and incarceration centers, four of which hold prisoners accused of being part of the anti-occupation insurgency. But there are dozens of other holding cells on U.S. bases, where Iraqis spend their first days in captivity. About half of all detainees are at Abu Ghraib.

How many Iraqi prisoners are being held by U.S. forces?

A March 2, 2004,New York Times article had said that "more than 10,000 men and boys" were in custody, ranging in age from 11 to 75.

What was the chain of command at Abu Ghraib prison?

MPs were in charge of the day-to-day operation of the facilities, and military intelligence officers ran interrogations.

-Canadian Correction Centres are founded on the notion of restorative justice as an objective of Correctional Service Canada (CSC) in interest of the public safety.

-The CSC are known for their victim-offender mediation services which are used to form co-operation, identify issues, and help offenders in understanding Restorative Justice values and principles.

-The CSC gives volunteer opportunities for victims and offenders in search of justice, responsibility, and restoration.

-Retribution is somewhat of a concern, however the main objective of CSC is centralized by the notion of restorative justice.

-Restorative Justice is defined as the method of restoring damages to society in compensation for criminal offences as opposed to other means of justice such as retribution (punishment of for example, imprisonment).

-Rehabilitation has become an increased concern of the CSC.

Weighing of Advantages and Disadvantages

Iraq

The Iraq prison is titled the Iraqi Correctional Service (ICS). The prison population is 37,014 and this total includes pre-trial detainees and remand prisoners who, account for majority of the total at 4.6%.

The ICS had operated 9 prisons and 7 pre-trial detention facilities at the end of 2007. In addition it had operated 17 holding areas or detention facilities in Baghdad and at least another 13 nationwide for detainees captured during military raids and operations.

The official capacity of the prison system is 14, 698 therefore, it has reached its limit.

Abu Ghraib

Pictures/Diagrams

During the 2003 invasion of Iraq, it was placed under the command of U.S forces and it was reopened and used to hold criminals and later those suspected of terrorist activities.

In Aug., 2004, the Pentagon reported info of "deviant behavior and a failure of military leadership and discipline" at Abu Ghraib.

Reports in the U.S. media explicitly revealed to the public the extent of the physical and sexual abuse of Abu Ghraib detainees, many of whom were civilians who had not been charged; photographs showed the abused, mostly naked Iraqis, some of whom were accompanied by smiling U.S. soldiers.

What rights do Iraqi prisoners have?

Prisoners in Iraq fall into three legal categories: prisoners of war, security detainees, and criminal detainees. Somewhat differing rules established by the Geneva Conventions apply to the treatment of each, but there are some basic guarantees that apply to all. The rules bar violence, physical or mental torture, corporal punishment, or outrages upon personal dignity, especially humiliating and degrading treatment. These rules have been affirmed by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) in Iraq and by the U.S. Defense Department.

Positive Aspects

There have been affirmed rights by the Coalition Provisional Authority (CPA) established.

Negative Aspects

There is a lack of accommodation for prisoners.

Torture - U.S militants have failed to uphold the rights of the prisoners. This is due to the 2004 controversy which U.S militants released photos of Iraqi prisoners they had abused.

The Shawshank Redemption

Society had greatly changed when Brooks was released therefore, our Ideal Prison, through employment and volunteer service, will keep the prisoners in tune with society beyond their walls.

Cultivating crops is a form of chores - responsibility - just as those in the film held a daily routine.

Libraries and gaining an education is a way to improve the prison environment and when they are released they are able to use this knowledge as a possibility for job options.

Funding for the Correctional Services

Rehabilitation at Siberius Penitentiary Facility

-

Total budget=$1 million(construction of ward)

Financial allocations:

-

Architectural Measurements include:

-a 4 floor dynamic of each institution.

-each floor will measure as 30,000 sq m. containing 1000 detention rooms.

-each detention room will measure 5m by 5m in surface area and will detain a maximum of 10 inmates.

-therefore the average space between prisoners would be 2.5 m.

-the complete measurements of each of the 2 buildings will be estimated at 175 m. by 175 m.

Architectural Features Includes:

Indoors: Legal Services, Visitor Room, Head office, Detention Hallways, Library, Rehab, Psychiatric Unit, Gymnasium for Athletic/Social Activities, Cafeteria, and Medical Unit.

Outdoors: The Detention Ward would cultivate a small farm for sources of vegetation that would allow the prison to create environmentally friendly atmospheres, establish work ethic and responsibility among inmates, save money on food expenses, as well as strengthen the immune functions of inmates against illnesses through consumption of natural resources. The rooftops of the prisons would have solar panels as a source of electricity that would be used in the buildings thus save additional money on utility expenses such as electricity. In addition, 2 athletic fields would be constructed including the field as well as a race track for running. The summer activities would be coordinated with boot camps to help strengthen the well beings of inmates as well as ensure discipline and diligence.

The various penitentiary facilities did not include efficient rehabilitation services for inmates. Ideally, there is a correlation between rehabilitation and recidivism or repetitive behaviour. To eliminate the pattern of criminal behaviour, it is crucial for a correction facility to include rehabilitation services in constant supervision and improvement. In addition, education of the inmates is also necessary in order to keep inmates informed.

The four main purposes of improving sentencing in comparison to current system includes:

1) Restrict parole sentences in order to deter criminals from being unreasonably released into society.

2) Instill a validation process for affirming the criminality and threat of the inmate.

3) Depending on the severity of criminal offenses, some sentences must incorporate correlative methods of retribution for inmates such as solitary confinement, joint cell confinement, increased indoor/outdoor responsibilities.

4) Ensure common ground and cooperation among inmates and guards.

The essential requirements entitled by inmates include rehabilitation, responsibility, restoration, education/training,as well employment. In order to ensure that all mandatory requirements of inmates are initiated, measures such as training/recruitment of additional correctional employee personnel will be enforced.

Legal Company Name: Justice United Correctional Mediation Services

Prison Name: Siberius Penitentiary Facility

Mission Statement: The main objective of our correctional services is centralized around the fundamental notion of restorative justice. We believe criminals should be given opportunities to restore damages to society and complete humanitarian initiatives to the community for the intent of improving our communities.

Essential Goals:

1) Reduce the likelihood of offenders being released into society without sufficient completion of rehabilitation and restorative justice services.

2) Increase the responsibilities of the inmates to cultivate disciplinary conduct including responsibilities at the prison, and to the communities.

3) Educate all inmates with arrangement of violence/criminal awareness activities.

Security System: As part operating a prison in conservation of security of society, the correctional facilities must be managed under a maximum security facility. Every door in the prison facility will have an alarm system for immediate indication of intrusion. Every corridor will include 10 prison guards. The surroundings of the correctional facilities will be supervised by guards as well as security canines that will sense odd behaviour and seize any prisoners. Three facilities will be constructed in organization of an internment facility for new convicts.

• Psychiatric Care : includes psychiatric assessment, visitation by psychiatrist/psychologists.
• Interactive Lectures/Activities: enlightening on issues such as violence, addiction, mental health, etc.
• Rehabilitation Unit: Inmates become in-patients at the rehab centre.
• Sponsorship program: inmates are sponsored by other inmates who must assist one another and required to contribute to their community to evolve the notion of interdependence. Inmates must abide by an anti-violence policy and are mentored by rehabilitation leaders in activities.
• Group therapy/Individual Therapy.
• Nutrition/Fitness Regiments: are required to design nutritional diets and fitness routines with schedules created.
• The Intervention Program to prevent relapse.
