Constitutional Rights and Administrative Goals

Constitutional Rights and Administrative Goals
Prior to beginning work on this assignment, please review the assigned material in your Stojkovic
and Lovell (2019) textbook. Additionally, please read the article Toward a More Constitutional
Approach to Solitary Confinement: The Case for Reform. The goal is to consider constitutional
rights of incarcerated persons and administrative objectives for correctional institutions.
Additionally, this paper will also have you consider diversity awareness and cultural sensitivity
issues in corrections. You will support your work with two scholarly and/or credible resources.
Address each of the elements below:

Constitutional rights and administration
Explain how constitutional rights of incarcerated persons are balanced with the correctional
system functions of the jail or prison.
Explain the mandatory rights that prison administrators must provide incarcerated persons, and
how those rights are balanced with the security, safety, court requirements, visits, and other
functions of the facility.
Examine a U.S. Supreme Court case (you may use your selected case from your Week 1 Issues
and Constitutional Rights in Corrections assignment) that balances correctional administrative
goals with the constitutional rights of incarcerated persons.
Diversity and cultural sensitivity issues
Explain at least one cultural sensitivity issue and at least one diversity issue in corrections (you
may use the cultural sensitivity issue and diversity issue from your Week 1 Issues and
Constitutional Rights in Corrections assignment).
Analyze perspectives on each issue within the context of constitutional rights and administrative
functions in corrections
