PROBATION AND PUNISHMENT

In preparation for this assignment, please view the Jurisville scenarios and resulting simulations from 
Weeks 8 through 10 in the Unit 3: Corrections.
In the scenarios and resulting simulations, Robert Donovan, a Jurisville probation officer, discusses the 
intricacies of probation. Kris, the defendant, is offered an intensive supervised probation plan to follow. 
Brennan Brooke, a senior criminologist, discusses the tailoring of the inmate to the appropriate facility. 
Finally, Orlando Boyce, a sergeant at the fictional Deephall correctional facility, discusses measures that 
could conceivably make prison life effective and thus decrease the likelihood of recidivism.
Write a three to four (3-4) page paper in which you:
1. Outline your findings from your review of the file of Kris, for whom Robert is considering 
probation. State whether or not your results from the file review match Robert-. Explain two (2) 
instances in which your views and those of Robert are both similar and different.
2. Develop a profile of the so-called perfect candidate to participate in an intensive supervised 
probation program. The profile should contain at least three (3) attributes that you believe make 
this defendant the perfect candidate for this type of probation.
3. Defend or critique the strategy of matching the inmate to the correctional facility as a response to 
the legal concept of cruel and unusual punishment. Provide a rationale for your position with 
concrete examples.
4. Defend or critique whether programs and amenities geared to making prison life effective—which 
run the gamut from hiring extra officers, to counseling and therapy, to building a garden—are time 
and taxpayer money well spent.
5. Use at least three (3) quality resources in this assignment. Note: Wikipedia and similar Websites 
do not qualify as quality resources.
