Reference no: EM133475996

Case Study: Let's follow the growing number of our states and cities and private companies who have decided to "Ban the Box" on job applications so that former prisoners who have done their time and are now trying to get straight with society have a decent shot in a job interview.

-President Barack Obama in remarks to the NAACP

If you have a philosophy of punishment, how do invisible punishments fit into your philosophy?
If you do not have a philosophy of punishment, how might invisible punishments relate to some of the philosophies or goals of punishment discussed in this course (deterrence, rehabilitation, retribution, incapacitation, and restitution)?
Be sure to build your case with factual resources.
