Prisons and Accreditation

POINTS:  Up to 10
Due: NO LATER THAN Thursday, December 9
LENGTH: Five pages (about 1,200 words)

This final supplemental credit is designed for people just a few points
short of an A. It is *NOT* easy, and it requires that you draw from
all material covered in class, tours, text, WebBoard, and all other
resources.

Read this Powerpoint presentation from the
Corretional Accrediation Managers Association.

Then, explain how you would inspect Stateville, what you would look for,
what you would probably find (drawing from class discussions and
debriefing) and how you would implement changes.

Your paper should include a brief summary of what "accreditation" means,
why it's important and what purpose is serves, and an in-depth 
summary of the conditions you would see if you inspected Stateville.

NO BS or fluff.
