In this situation, I would pick correctional officer in the prison system. To be crowded in the prison would not a good situation for me. However, I am against Prop 57 because it is dangerous for the whole society. To put people in the jail is the punishment and we need them to actually understand about the punishment is serious and is not like “we give you a five year sentence, but you only need to stay in prison for three years only.” It is not serious enough and it makes more people to choose commit crimes because the punishment is not serious at all. Second, it will make the community becomes more dangerous. More prisoners come out with not enough training and education, it will end up to commit crimes again and again. Lack of opportunity for them to work, and some of them just want to get the money from illegal way will provide bad result and the gang has more members to in and out from the prison, and it becomes dangerous. Although my job duties will be less if fewer people in the jail, it is not about the job duty, it is more about the whole family. I do not my family members get hurt by those violence prisoner in the future. I think we can set up more prison or we can hire more correctional officers to help us to provide better service in the prison. However, if the prison can help the society would be better.

In this week discussion, I have an opportunity to work as the law enforcement. I did not sure I will work as the law enforcement, I would pick to be a judge in this time. Props 57 is the Proposition allows parole consideration for nonviolent felons, change policies on juvenile prosecution. I against this Proposition because I think it is not good for the society. As we know, in this Proposition we lost the reason on deciding about the length in prison. The judge suppose to decide the correct “length” for the criminals if they are judged as guilty. However, it is not fair if the criminals can stay shorter in the prison. However, it is not okay to think violence criminals are different from non violence criminals. The non violence criminals can also provide danger to the society to sell illegal drugs to harm different kind of people. As a judge I will not happy on every decision to only have two third of punishment. After spending only a short period of time in prison and it is dangerous because the correctional service will be cover at all. As a judge, I will plan to decide longer sentence depends on the sentence can be shorter if they did “well” in the prison. I think we need to let other people know to live in prison is a punishment and it is serious and harsh. I think it is not possible to do the Prop 57 and I will against this Proposition.

This week topic is interesting and I have a chance to work as law enforcement officer. I will pick as defense lawyer on this time. After I check up this Proposition57, I am support this Proposition. The reason why I think it is workable because we need to give another chance for the criminals. Some opinions think it is dangerous for the society, but I think it will be possible to prevent. Many criminals commit crimes not because of the regular criminals and some of them just need money to survive. After the correctional service, they suppose to have a second chance on it and I think to release earlier will give them a better chance to be succeed. Second, it avoids the “good” prisoners to contact with the “bad” prisoners for a longer period of time. Many criminals met each other during their prison period. If the US has a nice correctional system like in Northern European Countries would be much better to be trusted that criminals will not commit crimes again. However, in the States, we are survived in the over-crowded prison like a third world countries and we just did not have enough staff to watch and educate the prisoners from time to time. It is better for the system to have fewer people in the prison to avoid they become worse. Last, to build up a peaceful society. We should teach the public to understand that people that release from the prison was not horrible, the thing that makes it horrible are because their heart.

#1 The career in law enforcement I would choose is to be a correctional officer that works in the prison system. I chose this career because I'm aware that prisons are bad and the prisoners are always in some kind of trouble for many reasons. I would like to help prevent fights, murders and drug dealing by knowing when things are going to happen. Prisoners hide weapons in them, in the yard, and in their rooms, so I would be alert that they have weapons when fights occur. I want to prevent any kind of thing that goes on in the prisoner for the safeness of the people and to help them out to not get time added to their sentence. I know it's not an easy job and can be hard due to the inmates wanting you to work with their businesses, but it's a carer I would choose. After seeing the domestic violence clips I could not handle being a 911 dispatcher. Just hearing the little girl named Lisa crying and creaming for help as her step dad hits her mom is sad. Its heartbreaking knowing what people so young go through viewing domestic violence occurring. Poor little girl was terrified to know her mom and then her little sister were being hurt, just being on the phone hearing all the crying and yelling would make me feel like I'm not doing much. I know I call police and have them go wherever there is a 911 call, however i feel that if I was a 911 dispatcher I would personally want to be there helping whoever is calling. I can't bear a situation like just happen with Lisa and be on the phone waiting for the police to get to the home. #2 The DUI clips are very sad because the person under the influence is not aware the trouble they are causing. They cause trouble to themselves and other with the incidents that occur. For a moment of fun can take away someone's life and their own freedom. A person or people do not need to die of be in a harmful accident, because of someone's actions, I find this very unfair. DUI car crashes cause a lot of damage due to their speed of driving and should therefore understand before they drive what can happen. #3 I am against prop 57 because any person can be released from jail and that is not right. They are in there for a reason and if they committed the crime once, they can commit the crime again. People should really reconsider prop 57 due to who will be released. I know many people want this prop to pass, because of their loved ones, but it's not fair to the community. I have loved ones in prison and just because they committed minor offenses does not mean another person with minor offenses would be released. I'm against prop 57 and feel is would make jail less crowded but will make more crimes in the community.
