BW Dis 4A ,4B, 5A CJ

 

Discussion 4A

What are your positions on the "three strikes law" and other enhanced sentencing in this country? For example, a person in possession of 1 gram of crack cocaine would get a similar sentence as someone with 18 grams of powder cocaine. Is it good, or bad for our country? Why?

Discussion 4B

What do your readings suggest about why there is so much prison violence? Why do you think gangs thrive in a prison environment?

Discussion 5A

Is it good, or bad for the U.S. when the current federal government is aggressively pursuing illegal immigrants, blocking some Middle-Eastern countries from traveling to this country, building a wall to mitigate drugs flowing through open borders with the South, sending troops oversees to fight radial Islamic terrorists, and getting tough on rogue countries who defy the world with nuclear weapon ambitions?
