1. Identify and discuss any two issues that your found interesting in Chapter 91: Offender Reentry

I found the effort to get rid of the criminal background question very interesting. If I were an employer I would like to know if any applicants have previous records, I would rather not chance hiring a sex offender and then having an increased risk of incidents in the work place. Doing away with the background check before the hiring seems counter productive (Travis & Crayton,2009). If the offender registries were handled by a more official organization and updated with accurate and reliable information it might solve this discrimination problem. The rate of diseases in the prison system is 4 to ten times higher in the prison system (Travis & Crayton,2009). I never realized the risk of disease being in the prison system was this high, one thing not addressed was if this was because of prison, or if it was due to the inmates actions prior to going to prison. This would be a difficult situation to try and address. Do we pay for the treatment of the diseases after the inmates get out of prison?

2.Identify and discuss any two issues that you found interesting in Chapter 72: Community Corrections.

The amount of people on probation was a very surprisingly large number, which was shocking to find upwards of 4 million on probation (Alarid, 2009). I have never taken the time to think about the individuals on probation but this is a very large number. The individuals on house arrest and such could be efficiently used for community service if there was a revamp to the community service system. I feel that community service is a very useful tool that little effort is being put into utilizing it to its fullest potential, and it seems as though there is no advancements towards the increase in community service line of rehabilitation with only 1 out of 4 individuals on probation doing any type of community service (Alarid, 2009). I think the wealthy get off too easily by paying their way out of doing community service, they should be held to the same standards as everyone else and have to do community service.
