Discussing the challenges associated with the incarceration

Reference no: EM133278311

Question: Prisons are, in many respects, a microcosm of society. In 2030, the last baby boomer will turn 65 and one in five Americans will be older than 65. This trend in our nation's aging population is also represented within the nation's prison system. For instance, the number of prisoners age 50 or older experienced a 330 percent increase from 1994 to 2011, therefore, the growth rate of older prisoners-especially those 65 and older-is expected to increase significantly.

Respond to this essay question in a minimum of 500 to 700 words, excluding the references, discussing the challenges associated with the incarceration of elderly prisoners. In addition, describe in detail a plausible recommendation for the release of nonviolent, low-risk elderly prisoners.

The directly quoted material may not be used, but instead, you must paraphrase and cite. Be sure to support your response with a minimum of three (3) current, scholarly sources in which the in-text citations and references are formatted to APA - 7th edition.
