CRIMINAL JUSTICE DISCUSSION

According to Couloute (2018), “Before formerly incarcerated people can address health problems, find stable jobs, or learn new skills, they need a place to live.” Is it the responsibility of the criminal justice system to help them do these things? Take a position. Do you believe the criminal justice system (including its laws) has a responsibility to help formerly incarcerated people?

First, in your initial post, title your post “The criminal justice system DOES have a responsibility” or “The criminal justice system DOES NOT have a responsibility.”

Then, using the resources in this module, discuss whether you think the criminal justice system has a responsibility to help formerly incarcerated people become successful members of society. If not, whose responsibility is it? If so, whose specific responsibility is it in the criminal justice system? Include a rationale to support your explanation.
