Description
Choose a prison based upon its historical significance, famous inmate(s), famous riot(s), escape(s), or contraband and develop a PowerPoint presentation that details your research. You may select a prison from anywhere in the world, so do not limit yourself to those that you are familiar with due to classes you have taken or media attention. Even some of the lesser known prisons have interesting stories.
Relate concepts, ideas and materials from your textbook, classroom lectures and independent research or experiences in the development of your presentation. Additional topics that you will need to cover with regard to your prison are the history/development, prison design, special populations, custody levels, programming and services for inmates, gang influence, and Constitutional issues/rights violation cases involving your chosen prison. Some of the prisons that you choose will still be in operation and some may already be closed. Be sure to include the prison’s current status. If your prison has closed, be sure to include the reason(s) for that closure.
presentations must consist of a minimum of fifteen (15) PowerPoint slides. Slides should be titled according to content. Correct spelling and grammar are expected. Graphics such as pictures, diagrams, charts, etc… are also expected, but these should only be used to enhance the written details of your research. Remember to use a legible font and slide design.
