Strayer University Inmates Rights and Special Circumstances Paper According to the preamble to the U.S. Constitution, one (1) of the

founding philosophies of the United States is that each person, citizen

or not, is endowed with certain permanent rights. This philosophy

extends even to people who have committed crimes that warrant prison

sentences. Imagine that you are a commissioner on the Board of State

Prison, and you are responsible for making recommendations regarding

inmate rights and special circumstances. Use the Internet or Strayer

University library (https://research.strayer.edu) to research costs that an inmate could incur if he or she chooses to challenge his or her confinement.

Write a 3-to 5-page paper in which you:

Analyze the legal mechanisms in which an inmate can challenge his or her confinement. Support or refute the cost of such challenges to the state and / or federal government. Provide a rationale for your response.
Analyze the grievance process from a state of your choice that inmates must follow while incarcerated. Critique the grievance process and whether it is enough to protect inmates’ rights while incarcerated. Provide a rationale for your response.
Examine the five largest groups of inmates with special needs that are discussed in your textbook. Prepare one recommendation for each group that management can use to meet the needs of the special need inmate. Provide a rationale for your response.
Determine whether the use of the death penalty violates offenders’ rights against “cruel and unusual punishment,” as guaranteed by the Eighth Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. Justify your response.
Use at least three quality references. Note: Wikipedia and other websites do not qualify as academic resources.
