Which corrections model would best suit the offender (Pennsylvania versus Auburn; medical model versus community/crime control)?

Chapters Three and Four cover the history of corrections and the options
for punishment. Please choose one of the offenders below and answer the
questions which follow:
·
Offender A –
female offender, mid 20’s, extensive criminal history, child and adult victim
of sexual abuse, convicted of carrying a loaded firearm into a federal building
·
Offender B –
male offender, late 70’s, no criminal history, recently placed on a ventilator,
convicted of sexual abuse of a minor under 12
·
Offender C –
juvenile offender (15 years old), no criminal history, convicted of stealing a
car and driving under the influence

1.
Identify which
offender you chose.
2. Which corrections model would best suit the offender
(Pennsylvania versus Auburn; medical model versus community/crime control)? Explain in detail (NO
opinion, only academics).
3.
Which goal of
punishment should be focused on and why? Be specific to the offender and
include why the other goals should not be focused on!
4.
If incarceration
is not an option for this offender, choose three other forms of sanctioning
that might work and discuss their strengths/weaknesses. Apply your terminology
specifically to the offender you have chosen.
5. Fast forward seven years and base your response as if
your offender had been incarcerated for the full seven years. If the offender
was wrongfully convicted and was without a doubt not guilty of the crime – how
would you address the injustice (include a discussion of what they would have
missed while incarcerated, what they would have experienced, and how you can
‘pay’ them and their families back)? Support your arguments with academics,
not an opinion!
