³Prison: Punishment or Party?² (HS)
4Prison reform is a hot issue today and there is a
great deal of conflict over what prisoners' rights should
be. In this project, you will be exploring the
opposing viewpoints on this topic, evaluating statistics,
and reading about life in American prisons.
As a team, you will be working to create a
handbook of "Prisoners' Rights" in a fabled prison.
Team members will take the following roles:
victim, prison warden, politician, tax payer, or
prisoner. Though
you may have strong feelings based upon the research you
do, your team must reach consensus on the handbook.
