Criminal Justice Discussion

Section 1

The United States is known for having the largest jail system in the world. To be more specific, this is a framework in which people are lawfully detained as a result of a crime they committed or while awaiting trial. The fact that the United States has the world's highest incarceration rate reflects a view that prisons are an effective crime-fighting strategy. People are tired of crime and believe that incarcerating more people for longer periods of time will address the issue. Being jailed in the United States has both rewards and downsides. One downside is that many prisoners are confined in appalling conditions, with some comparing their living conditions to those in third-world countries. There are simply too many inmates and far too little room. This country must regulate or handle the issue of overcrowding (Barnes, 2021). Overcrowding in some prisons has created conditions that are so dangerous that they violate the constitution. Another problem is that the jail is intended to rehabilitate inmates, but this is not the case because people regard it as if it were their final days on earth.

Approximately 2.2 million people are currently incarcerated in the United States, with roughly half of them being non-violent drug offenders, accused individuals who cannot afford bail, and those imprisoned for failing to pay debts or fines for minor offenses. Poverty and harsh legal repercussions play a big role in the United States' high rate of incarceration, which disproportionately impacts low-income and minority populations (Barnes, 2021).

Numerous studies have demonstrated that prolonged solitary confinement can cause debilitating symptoms such as visual and auditory hallucinations, hypersensitivity to sounds and touch, insomnia, and paranoia. Solitary confinement is frequently used to hold prisoners for months or even years, with some lasting more than 25 years. People of race, like the rest of the jail population, are overrepresented in isolation units.

Prisoners may be isolated for a variety of reasons, ranging from significant violations such as attacking another inmate to small infractions such as speaking back to a guard or being detected with a pack of cigarettes. However, I would call for the abolition of prison isolation as a possible alternative to solitary imprisonment. For the sake of our shared humanity—for the protection of our communities, to fulfill our commitment to uphold international human rights law, to speak out against torture wherever it occurs, and to respect our responsibilities to uphold international human rights law prison isolation must end (Barnes, 2021).

Section Two

 Stockholm syndrome occurs when a captive develops feelings for or sympathy for his or her captor. Nils Bejerot coined the term to refer to the bond formed between kidnappers and their captives. Stockholm syndrome is frequently associated with high-profile kidnappings and hostage crises. The majority of people use Beauty and the Beast to demonstrate what it means, which is an excellent illustration, but not the accurate one. Stockholm syndrome is a physiological condition that happens when a victim is kidnapped or held captive and develops a bond with their captors (Barnes, 2021).

As both my mother and I have been victims of domestic violence, we understand what it's like to live in a home filled with violence and abuse. I'd be lying if I said we haven't figured out why we went through what we did, demonstrating that we had Stockholm syndrome. The term "Stockholm syndrome" relates to an assailant's victim's unconscious emotional reaction. For a number of reasons, we empathized with the abuser. We read an excellent account of Stockholm syndrome's symptoms and how a sufferer could feel if they were unable to exit an abusive relationship. Threats directed at the prisoner, legal impediments preventing the victim from exiting the abusive relationship, the mistaken belief that the criminal loves the victim, and social isolation is all indicators of Stockholm syndrome. If a person exhibits these signs, he or she should speak with someone about the problem and get assistance. Finally, as a Stockholm syndrome victim, I can attest that seeking assistance and sharing my story with others was the best course of action (Barnes, 2021).

Stockholm syndrome may occur when a victim's survival is compromised, the victim is isolated from outsiders, the victim sees no way out of the abuser, and the abuser offers the victim kindness. Graham and his colleagues developed these four requirements. This enables people to see why victims of domestic violence may choose to return to their abuser. One flaw in the theory is that if the victim has no way out, they may regard their survival as a threat. Due to the victim's isolation from others, such as family and friends, he or she may turn to the abuser for aid in meeting basic necessities. In order to survive, the victim may go to any length to appease the abuser. It is possible that the victim interprets their mistreatment as an expression of love rather than as abuse. The Stockholm syndrome can be described using Maslow's hierarchy of requirements. Stockholm syndrome is a relatively uncommon psychological disorder that affects only a small number of people globally (Barnes, 2021). This study aims to increase awareness of Stockholm syndrome, its causes, and the effects it has on those who have been kidnapped or imprisoned. Additionally, it indicates whether there is a subset of abductees who are more likely to develop the disease, as well as how the symptoms vary between individuals.

Section 3

The case I've chosen is Krause v. Switzerland. The European Commission on Human Rights addressed the problem of public officials making statements about terrorism suspects who are under investigation in the Krause case. Ms. Krause was detained in Switzerland on remand pending a trial on terrorist allegations. An aeroplane had been seized by a terrorist commando comprised of German and Palestinian militants. The commando pleaded for the release of further hostages, including Ms. Krause, a woman connected to a German terrorist network. On television, the Swiss Federal Minister of Justice was asked how his administration intended to respond. He claimed in his initial interview that "Petra Krause is far more than a Palestinian nationalist. She was found guilty of common law charges involving the use of explosives (Bell et al., 1999).  She will stand trial as a remand detainee in the fall. Terrorists cannot be released in the name of counterterrorism." He alleged in a subsequent televised appearance that Ms. Krause was engaged in numerous explosive disasters. "I have no idea what will happen to her; I have no idea what will happen to her. Terrorism cannot be overcome without respect for the rule of law."...... Ms. Krause filed a defamation lawsuit with the European Commission on Human Rights. According to the Commission, a public authority would breach the presumption of innocence if it declared a suspect guilty of an offense before a court established guilt (Bell et al., 1999). Simultaneously, checking on this analysis, it is very evident that officials will refrain from telling the public about current investigations, arrests, or suspect admissions. The Commission says that the Swiss Federal Minister of Justice should have been more circumspect in his language. He had made it very obvious; however, that Ms. Krause would still face trial. He indicated firmly in the second interview that he had no idea what the outcome of the legal processes would be. As a result, the Commission decided that no violation of the presumption of innocent occurred. Under Turkish law at the time, police interrogation and initial appearances before a prosecutor and judge were all handled in the absence of a lawyer in terrorism cases.

Krause was held in solitary prison for nearly three years before being deported to Rome in 1977. She staged three hunger strikes in Switzerland in an attempt to get the following demands: the removal of solitary confinement for all those awaiting trial, the right to choose one's own doctor, and the ability to exercise in the prison yard for one hour daily. Swiss media outlets were enthralled by these hunger strikes. Krause was backed by feminist and left-wing organizations, and Grisard feels she constituted a threat to the gender binary system. Her figure — a woman's body ravaged by jail and hunger – highlighted the male citizen's concealed vulnerability and dependency on the state.
