What are cultural aspects that need to addressed in prisons, probation and parole, and community corrections.

 

The cultural aspects affecting the prisons, probation, and parole, and community corrections include

1. The high pricing of bonds,
2. Lack of proper correction methods, including healthcare intervention measures for those with mental illnesses,
3. Lack of educational and skill development opportunities for prisoners, and
4. The social organization of the criminal justice system, including disproportionate arrest and incarceration of racial and ethnic minorities

The prison, probation, parole, and community correction should introduce intervention programs to prevent criminal behavior and recidivism. Stakeholders in probation and parole sentencing should be competent in a multicultural environment to handle demographically diverse prisoners. The prison systems should introduce various intervention measures such as mental health treatment programs and promote education and skill-building for the prisoners to ensure they transform into productive society members while in prison and post-release. Community correction programs should include the elderly and the ailing prisoners to reduce the prison population, cut the cost of correction, and promote community reintegration. Addressing the prisoners' health and economic needs, including education, training, and mental health programs, would particularly prove effective correctional intervention in reducing recidivism and ensuring better correctional programs and institutions.
