... paid for the first time he or she appeals the court, after that it is up to the inmate to pay for his or her own lawyer. Now, after exhausting state appeals, most prisoners are allowed only one appeal in the federal courts (Regoli and Hewitt 544). I think if the inmate wants to appeal his or her case they should have to pay for it from the beginning. Society has to pay enough money as it is for inmates. is less costly than maintaining a criminal in prison for his or her entire life. Next, society has a right to protect itself from criminals. If it is obvious that a person is guilty of murder, then that person should be sentenced to death. Justice must be served. Placing murderers in pri ...
... speed limit should be lifted from all interstate and state highways. The fact is the speed limit, which is set at 55 miles per hour around the area, causes many problems and traffic. The traffic in the Washington, DC metropolitan area is one of the worst in the United States. Especially on highway 66 where there is always a lot of traffic because people are worried about going the right speed due to all the highway patrol on the road. So, taking this into consideration, by lifting the state speed limit all together, the majority of drivers will still drive at 55 or 65 (depending on location) miles per hour. However, no speed limit would allow those drivers in a hurry to take advantag ...

... is harmful to your physical health. It will be shown that marijuana is popular and that many people may not know what they are taking into their bodies. It will be shown just what parts of the body marijuana effects and how it effects them. The main purpose of this collection of information is to see just what marijuana does to the body and to determine whether the effects are good, bad, or a combination of both. Many different areas of research will be used. The report "Marijuana Retains Popularity Despite Anti-drug Attitudes" in The Dallas Times Herald by the Associated Press shows just how popular marijuana remains despite health warnings. A 40-something woman referred to as ...
... and get loaded. Typically, a man will coerce a woman back to his apartment or dorm. This is dangerous for both parties. The man may think that the woman is leading him on, that if she agrees to go with him that it is an invitation to have sex. If the female seems to be enjoying kissing or fooling around with the guy, he may think she is teasing him if she decides to stop. The man may feel angry or rejected if this happens, and may want sexual gratification anyway. The result can be rape. If only the woman is drunk, the man may see this as an opportunity to take advantage of her because she will most likely be less defensive towards him. Some men plan the act of rape, and may use alcohol ...
... result in greater public acceptance of marijuana. That would mean that there would be an increase in the amount of people who would be caught and punished for possessing marijuana. ( Sommer, 67 ). The annual survey of freshman, which has been sponsored by American Counsel on Education since 1966, includes an item relating to the legislation of marijuana. Austin, Green, and Korn ( 1987 ) indicated that results over a twenty year period show distinctly conservative trends. ( Sommer, 67 ). In 1968, for example, fewer than one in five students supported legislation. The base of support increased consistently over the next decade and by 1977 the majority of freshman ( 53% ) favored legis ...
... In the 18th century more than two hundred capital crimes were recognized, and as a result over one thousand people a year were faced with the sentence of death. Now at modern time, the death penalty, has been rekindled. Although, it is not as barbaric as it was. Now the law only allows itself the use certain types of “disciplining”. In the early 18th and 19th century the death penalty was inflicted in many ways. Some ways were, crucifixion, boiling in oil, drawing and quartering, impalement, beheading, burning alive, crushing, tearing asunder, stoning and drowning. In the late 19th century the types of punishments were limited and only a few of them remained permissible by law. In the ...
... acting against the subordination of women. Any man, child or transsexual who alleges injury by pornography in the way women are injured by it also has a claim. [emphasis added] My goal in this paper is to suggest that a slight modification to this subsection of the ordinance would make it very difficult for liberals and legal conservatives to object to it. This modification would restrict the cause of action to the same persons as the other sections of the ordinance, namely, the particular victim of the specified injury. I shall argue that such a modification would largely cohere with the conception of harm already at work in Ontario law, ...
... is to lock them up, not rehabilitate! Prison life can have many effects on a person. Once in prison, one must submit himself to eating, sleeping, and living with harden criminals. And for the most part the drug are still readily available. In prison, the more illicit drugs are readily available. A once marijuana smoker could very easily become a much harder drug user. And it does happen! One must live in fear and always watch their back. Homosexuality is very predominant in the prison population. The prisoner is faced with this every day. While incarcerated your life is put on a temporary hold, while the rest of the society sources ahead. Along with prison life comes family turmoil. ...
... understand in dealing with alcohol use and abuse are impairment and tolerance. They are both problems in themselves and signals of possible additional difficulties. IMPAIRMENT refers to the deficits in performance, judgment, memory, and motor skills which occur because of alcohol consumption. Impairment becomes noticeable at blood levels of 0.05%, which can occur when as few as two drinks are consumed in an hour by a 160 pound person. The deceptive part about impairment is that, by definition, impaired judgment cannot recognize its own impairment. The individual thinks he or she is functioning well, when actually s/he is not. Later, there is impaired memory of the impaired performance. ...
