SOCIAL OVERVIEW The Criminal Justice System is a social enigma that perpetuates justice but excludes a social aroma of distrust, an aroma that symbolizes rottenness. There is an overwhelming concern among Criminal Justice officials over the increasingly putrefying elements that erode fairness. It is evident that the systemπs needs to extract such undesirable elements from its operations. Present Criminal Justices policies postulates an atmosphere of distrust from the community, which portrays that it is a system for some of the people but not for all of the people. These ideas are further sanctioned by economic deprivations and social inequities that inhibits fair and equal justice which is further complicated by the fact that the majority of the individuals who commit crimes never go to trial and in many cases are released back into the community. It is true that the wheels of justice grinds slow and exceedingly fine. Hence, those individuals who are convicted and incarcerated are warehoused and returned to the community void of any traces of rehabilitation. It is urgent that we realize that 98.6% of the offenders, who are incarcerated, will return to society to live next door to us. We must ask ourselves, in what state do we want them to return? If you are under the false impression that the Department of Correctionsπ policies and tough legislative laws will foster rehabilitation, then you have failed the examination of reality. Policies and laws will not change an individual but, Jesus will. How do we get Jesus into the Department of Corrections? It is through religious volunteers – the best communicators of Godπs grace.
