They are all services the Tory government in Ontario has been trying to privatize with some disastrous results and possibly more to come. The Ontario government, lead by Progressive Conservative leader Mike Harris, has been slowly trying to do away with services that are currently administered by the province. The ideology in question, privatization, has been a hallmark...

Local Woods Puritan House Wood
493 wordsIn this easy I am going to write about the typical Puritan house, jails, and the scaffolds used for hanging criminals in Salem Massachusetts in the 1690 s. I will address the materials, preparation of the materials, design, and purpose of these structures. First I would like the Puritan house in Salem. The houses were mostly wood from the local forests in the Salem area. The wood was set up in an interlocking method. In order to get them to interlock they would cut notches out of the wood and a ...

United States Department Bureau Of Justice Statistics
1,236 wordsOvercrowding in Jails Today, in America, some prisoners are living worse than some third world countries are for little crimes such as theft. The reason for that to happen is rather simple - too many prisoners and not enough room. This country needs to spend more money to build new prisons, or at least attempt to differentiate the people who have committed minor criminal offence (like shoplifting or vehicle theft) from those who appear to be murderers and other type of thugs. This differentiatio...

Mandatory Sentencing Commit Crimes
1,164 wordsThe population increase in jails is a problem with no easy answer. Many feel the increase is the result of mandatory sentencing for drug related crimes. I also believe this is true but I don t think letting criminals back into the society is the solution.
