Scour an LA County newspapers, magazines, blogs, online forums, etc. for issues involving Corrections that are having an impact on LA County. Feel free to conduct an interview of a local official/employee/offender to bolster your research. (Although this is not necessary). Some examples of issues include, but are not limited to the following: Are the local jails/prisons overcrowded? Are budget cuts forcing “early release” policies which impact public safety? Are there new rehabilitation programs for juvenile offenders which are effective? Are there ethical issues with Correctional Staff at the LA County jail/detention facility? In this paper, you will need to identify and examine the local issue and articulate its corresponding impact on the community, on the Correctional System in general, or on society as a whole.
