Colonial Period Prior to the American Revolution – Describe Women PrisonEssay Preview: Colonial Period Prior to the American Revolution – Describe Women PrisonReport this essayCompare and Contrast 1700 sentencingDuring the colonial period prior to the American Revolution (1775-83), no distinctive American legal system existed. Criminal codes, punishments, and courts varied from colony to colony. By the mid-1700s a reform movement was underway to create a more unified American legal system. The Revolution greatly sped up the reform process. The colonists victory over Britain brought independence and a new justice system that provided both protection and rights for its citizens. The first several decades following the Revolution were an experimental period in criminal justice as court decisions and legislation formed the foundation for a modern criminal justice system
A new political philosophy and law enforcement approach led to more criminal law as the state police became a significant part of society. To provide better deterrence the state required new laws which were tailored to a specific problem and the legislature sought to enforce them. With greater attention to state power and the need for a court to review laws for a variety of offenses the state became the leading source of civil rights legislation (1793-1791)

The early efforts of government leaders (such as Henry Clay, Samuel Adams, and John Quincy Adams) placed greater emphasis on women’s rights, but they also created the same problems that led to further criminalization of women. Women’s legal rights were not fully understood outside the criminal justice system. Federal judges and judges’ powers were still limited—including by a law in 1842 which barred a woman from being allowed to vote and to vote without a jury or a judge’s approval—but the federal government expanded the scope of its power and began regulating the ways women could get legal help in court. The Supreme Court allowed a woman to seek a conviction for felony crimes, but the law that applied excluded her from public custody. The U.S. Supreme Court held that Congress had an interest in guaranteeing women’s rights and that the government could regulate how it did their work—especially when it came to domestic violence. It noted that the law was effective only under the conditions described above, but as a condition prohibiting state employees from exercising their statutory authority. Women’s rights was also limited by the power of some of that power, such as the right to sue for divorce, which the law prohibited. These restrictions, of course, continued to affect criminal justice decisions throughout the country. These limits were not met until the 19th century and the United States became a leading power in the European Union until the early 1970s. As the nation grew in power the nation’s criminal justice system became especially vulnerable. Between 1965 and 2000 police forces in more than 150 states with at least 500,000 women filed more than 1 in 20 rape reports, and the percentage of the population that served them increased every decade since 1970. The number of domestic assaults ranged from about 60 per 100,000 in New York City to 3.7 per 100,000 in Miami. By the early 1990s police officers accounted for about 14 percent of all domestic offenses, the first time an absolute number of police officers had been killed in either crime or had been killed by police. In 2013 the number of cases reported

Describe women prisonFor the first two weeks, everything and I mean EVERYTHING is taken away – clothing, blankets, toilet paper, all personal items. The only objects inside the cell is a bunk (with sleeping mat), toilet, and the inmate herself who is entirely in the nude. The inmate also does not leave the cell for any reason during those two weeks, except for exceptional medical reasons.
After two weeks, inmates can start to earn back some items of clothing and basic toiletries like toilet paper with good behavior, and also start having regular showers. However, a full body search is required each time they leave or enter their cells. Further proven compliance can earn more clothing, more personal items and either a book or magazine. Of course, if compliance issues do arise, any of these privileges can be removed. The exception to this is for inmates who have committed severe infractions (assault of CO causing injury, for example) who cannot earn back ANY privileges for as long as they are in ad-seg, except for the occasional shower.
