Deadline #5 HW #5

Since I work at a Correctional Facility I figured I can observe the inmate that I work with.
My location is a Correctional Facility in Arizona. There are four observations I made:
1. Can inmates/prisoners be rehabilitated?
My observation is that some inmates can be rehabilitated. However there are a few things that factor in. Such as how may times that individual has been in and out of the "system"/"jail". A major factor, would be what type of crime that inmate/individual has commented. However there are a few who make a life change, however that's has to come from with-in. I would say out of 100 inmates maybe 5% will truly change, and never comment another crime.
2. Inmates prospective.
Inmates perspective(mind frame). Most of the inmates I deal with believed it's someone else fault as to why their there. Whether they lose views due to death of family members and they don't know how to coop. with the lost. Or they get caught up with drugs, alcohol, or friends.
3. How inmates inter act with each other.
First of all male inmates attitudes different from females. Males have to prove them selves. For some reason they think that have to show everyone that they are tuff. You all so have you gang members, and race issues. Where as females, pretty much get along as you don't talk about someone behind their back, or snitch on another inmate.
4. Inmate's overall view in life
Over all general view of life. Most don't think of their future, no values, or goals in life/ambition. Some think of just drinking,or drugs, or both. Just when the next party is. That is until their in jail, then they talk about how they found god, or they miss their kids.

Deadline #5 HW #1

Reading Reflection

This weeks reading helped out (as always).
In chapter 6 pg. 86-93. Define library terms. Such as library stacks, I also got ideas as to where to look up reference on my topic. chapter 7 pg. 94-105 "Searching for information with field research methods" This chapter went into details as to how to get different types of information to help answer your audience questions. I plan to conduct an observation, to give a birds eye view on my topic.However I may conduct a survey, to better understand what my audience may lack as information on my topic. Overall thins weeks reading was short, sweet, and most important helpful.
