Document Summary

Argument for abolition of prisons, argument for development of restorative justice. Idea: aboriginals have traditional ways of doing justice which is consistent with their culture. Claim is that aboriginal justice is holistic; brings in all elements in the offence and its resolution; Aboriginal sentencing/disposition should take full account of situation and needs of the offender, and incorporate an examination of psychological, physical, spiritual etc. of offender, and view of offence as disruption. Offender has multiple needs that resulted in the offence that need to be fixed. Aboriginal model of justice arises out of these concepts. Third element is restitution to be made to victims and to community. Sentencing circle is the fix for the problem; not just where the process to restore the offender is initiated. Liberal pluralist; where ideas came from recently, why these ideas emerged as important. Feminists; rights of aboriginal women in corrections; gender and race disadvantage in prisons etc.

Consider the following argument: There are many arguments for the elimination or modification of current U. S. drug laws, but one of the most persuasive involves what negative effects drug laws are having on society in comparison with the effects of the drugs themselves. In the past ten years, most forms of drug use have dropped significantly, especially among teens. Despite this, non-violent drug offenders accounted for 21.1 percent of the federal prison population. First time drug offenders serve, on average, a sentence three months longer than kidnappers, nine months longer than burglars, and thirty-three months longer than sex abusers. In 1992, the average cost of keeping an inmate in either state or federal prison was about $20,000 per prisoner per year. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world, with 455 prisoners per 100,000 population. It is maintaining these prisoners at great expense in an environment where they are unlikely to develop a socially constructive attitude. Perhaps it is time that we reconsider our attitudes toward those who choose to use drugs; failure to do so may cost society even more than it already has. Determine whether or not the argument uses any deceptive statistics. Give your opinion on whether or not the argument has persuaded you. Explain why or why not. Determine the primary ways in which statistics or authority are used in your current position in developing persuasive arguments, and provide examples of such use.
