This course will use a variety of sociological perspectives to explore
issues related to correctional facilities in the United States. Topics
will include the jail and prison systems for adults and juveniles, and the
systems of probation, parole, and alternative sentencing. The societal
importance of these issues and topics will be made evident in light of the
fact that the United States holds a greater percentage of its people in
correctional facilities than any other country in the world.
