Imagine you are tasked with explaining to a board of county supervisors how ancillary entities support the legal system in carrying out justice in your state. In a presentation (using a digital presentation program) of 10-12 slides, explain the following to your audience:
Describe how ancillary entities (police, jail, corrections) support the legal system in carrying out justice.
Describe models used by your state to seek fairness in sentencing. For example, determinate vs. indeterminate.
Explain the goals of punishment (sentencing) in your state’s legal system.
Explain the impact that historical sentence enhancements (like the three-strikes law) have had on correctional facilities.
Provide examples of sentence enhancements recently implemented (For example, a drug crime committed while in possession of a firearm, a crime committed near a school zone, or an existing criminal record).
Lastly, explain why it is important for corrections agencies to know this information about ancillary entities and sentencing enhancements.
