Criminal Justice Group Excited To Get Started!

Follow the Criminal Justice group on our group blog, criminaljusticeprojectweek14.blogspot.com, all week long!

Today we discussed our preconceived notions and brainstormed questions we have:

Prison
  • Do the guards get to know the inmates for who they really are rather than just what they have done? 
  • How do inmates continue relationships with their families and friends?
  • Are prison guards how they are depicted in movies?
  • What is solitary confinement? Why do you get it? Does it work? What’s its purpose?
  • Has anyone broken out?
Court
  • Do people really follow “not lying” in courtroom?
  • How do judges not show bias?
  • How do you pick jurors?
  • Are defense attorneys that are provided as good as ones you hire?
  • As a lawyer, what do you do/how do you feel if you know your client is guilty?
  • How do you decide sentencing? Is it subjective?
We are excited about our week! Stay tuned for more posts!
