After you watch the Plea Bargaining video in this weeks module, share your thoughts with your classmates. In addition you must respond to at least one classmate with to receive full credit.

The video is located in youtube under: PLEA BARGAINING ON THE RISE, CONTRIBUTES TO RACIAL DISPARITIES

And I would have to respond to this classmate response:

“If plea bargains were not used than every prison in this country would be full. The purpose of plea bargains is to allow the perpetrator to own up to his crimes, which allows him to get a smaller sentence. Its kind of like if you help me out than ill help you out. I believe that plea bargaining is a good thing in most situations, but I do agree that in some cases people agree to the plea bargain even if they are innocent because they are scared of what the conviction could be if they were found guilty and did not except the plea bargain”

In your position as a parole officer, you feel as if you are making a difference in a person’s life. You knew that you would never be a police officer and here, you feel that you have more power than a police officer and you have a great criminal justice career. The Chief Probation Officer wants you to give a presentation concerning the topics and questions listed below, but first, she wants you to submit a paper of 2–3 pages containing a discussion of the topics and questions listed below.

The constitutional rights of prisoners may be held in abeyance during the time they are on probation or parole. They do not have the opportunity to interact with others who are also on probation and parole. The inmate, although on probation or parole, is still under the care, control, and custody of the department of corrections. One of the stipulations of his or her parole may be to refrain from interaction or contact with any other person who is a known felon. Why is this?

What if this person whom he or she is contacting was a family member? Why can some material that would normally be forbidden under the exclusionary rule be used to return a prisoner to prison or jail? See the example of the Pennsylvania Board of Probations vs. Scott. Be sure to reference all sources using APA style
