Bridging the Gap

Transcript: studies shows that prison sentences do not reduce future offenses Effective rehabilitation programs reduce the likelihood of re-offense first, Rehabilitation programs provide more hours for people with known offense risk factors (the Risk Principle); secondly, they address problems and needs that have a proven causal link to offending (the Needs Principle); and thirdly, they use cognitive-behavioural approaches to behaviour modification (the Responsivity Principle). children of inmates 1.5 million children nationwide have incarcerated parents, around 10 million more have parents who were imprisoned at some point in their children’s lives An estimated 856,000 children in California have a parent currently involved in California’s adult criminal justice system, nearly nine percent of the state’s children Many CHildren have experienced the trauma of sudden separation from their sole caregiver, and most are vulnerable to feelings of fear, anxiety, anger, sadness, depression and guilt. The behavioral consequences can be severe, absent positive interventionemotional withdrawal, failure in school, delinquency and risk of intergenerational incarceration The prevention of delinquency requires identifying at-risk individuals and their environments before delinquent activity and behavior occur, and then removing such risk factors or strengthening resistance to the risk factors already present. The most logical starting place for prevention efforts is the family. The LEADERSHIP Inmates with children will be offered to enter a program that will take 15 percent of the time off their prison sentence if they decide to enter a program where they see their children at least three times a week going to counceling, playing games, watching movies, and other group activities with other inmates and their children. To encourage the children of inmates to attend these visits with their parents, they will be awarded scolarship money to go to school for the amount that the prison did not spend on their parent. If the inmate has more than one child, they will each recieve the same amout. When it comes to three months before their estimated release date they will be allowed to have three hour release periods once a week off of the prison grounds with a guard, while the other in prison visits are still going on. When the inmate is ready for release, they will be set on a probation that includes parent-child activities. If the activities are broken, along with any other probation stipulations the prisoner will return to jail or extend probation, depending on the severity of the circumstances. If the prisoner continues with the program then they will be able to get off probation 20 percent sooner then their original date. Bridging the gap betwen inmates and their children

Bridging the Gap

Transcript: Hurston explains how sometimes in her life, she doesn't have a race - rather, she is her own person. She doesn't see herself as an outcast from everyone else. Instead, she disregards the racial issue and defines people based on who they are, not what they look like. However, reality strikes and people judge skin color nonetheless. The author describes her perception of an American citizen in this statement. Clearly, she says that she doesn't feel any different from being a citizen and black, therefore she believes skin color is irrelevant to the definition of being an American citizen. Unfortunately, this differs from the view of the average white citizen, who discriminates against colored people. Hurston describes how she saw no difference between a white and black person, other than the fact that the white folk didn't live in her town. Although she was at an early age during this time, it does not skew her attitude towards the issue of skin color. In the simplest of words, she believes that people are people. Be that as it may, others were still dumbfounded while in the presence of colored people, and couldn't grasp the author's point of view that skin color is extraneous of who people are. Relationship "I have no separate feelings about being an American citizen and colored," (Hurston 3). Modern Gilded Connection Text Evidence #4 Gilded Age Research The author explains how someone is always reminding her that she is black. From her point of view, she makes it seem like skin color wasn't an issue and that everyone should live in harmony together. But in reality, skin color WAS an issue, and this quote explains how other people saw her as a colored lady. Brandon Riney - Sherman 6th Key Points Bridging the Gap: Appearances vs. Reality in "How it Feels to Be Colored Me" Essential Question: How does Hurston's reality - the way she sees herself - conflict with how others may think she should see herself? "Someone is always at my elbow reminding me that I am the granddaughter of slaves," (Hurston 2). Story Analysis "At certain times I have no race, I am me," (Hurston 3). "...white people differed from colored to me only in that they rode through town and never lived there," (Hurston 1). Text Evidence #3 Text Evidence #2 Text Evidence #1 Rapid economic growth generated vast wealth during the Gilded Age New products and technologies improved middle-class quality of life Industrial workers and farmers did not share in the new prosperity, working long hours in dangerous conditions for low pay Gilded Age politicians were largely corrupt and ineffective Most Americans during the Gilded Age wanted political and social reforms, but they disagreed strongly on what kind of reform The Gilded Age was a period of extreme advancement - the nation was making incredible promotions of industry, science, and the settlement of the frontier. Although this was a productive era, many whites still had harsh feelings for those of different skin color. Because of this, there were many facilities intended only for whites. This relates to "HIFTBCM" because the author believes she is in a world filled with equality and opportunity, when in reality extreme discrimination lingered. Works Cited The Gilded Age: Today's Society There are many things in our world that are different from what they seem. Some of these misconceptions can be viewed in today's media, as well as around the world. For example, the movie "Batman" depicts this quality of "gildedness" as the main character possesses two different identities: Bruce Wayne and Batman. In both characters, he tries his best to fulfill good deeds. However, the public views Batman as a dark and scary super hero, but is proven wrong when he fights off evil and helps protect the innocent. This goes to show that actions define who you are, and that appearances only go so far. "The Gilded Age Summary & Analysis." Shmoop: We Speak Student. Shmoop, n.d.
