Punishment & Corrections

Choose an issue related to Punishment & Corrections. Possible topics include solitary confinement, prison nurseries, the death penalty, aging prisoners, juvenile punishment, transgender prisoners’ rights, prison privatization, prison gangs, prisons and COVID-19, etc. Imagine you are presenting this topic to someone who has little to no background in criminal justice. You will then create an infographic to 1) describe the issue (on page 1) and 2) provide policy recommendations for how we should address the issue (on page 2). I recommend using Canva to create your infographic, but you could also use platforms such as PowerPoint, Piktochart, or Venngage.
