To locate my first source you can go to www.mattmangino.com and along the right side you can search for his blog post from the previous years.  Open the 2010 tab and then open the January tab the article is called “Doing Time...  And Doing It Time and Time Again.” Here is the link.  http://www.mattmangino.com/2010/01/doing-time-and-doing-it-time-and-time.html

This is a great example of an academic argument about my topic.  It clearly covers exactly what my topic is based on and has a substantial amount of statistics and logic to back it up. This article is perfect for my audience because it addresses tax payers and shows the consequences the pay because of the lack of rehabilitation in the prison system.

 

To find ths source you can simply go to voices.yahoo.com and enter does prison rehabilitate in the search bar. It is the first article to come up is by a woman who goes by Christine H who apparently has a bachelor’s degree is criminal justice. Here is the link.


This article offers a very controversial opinion that conflicts with what I believe.  In her article she says that prison is not necessarily for rehabilitation and it mostly for punishment.  However there is one part of her argument that I do agree with and that is the prisoner has to want rehabilitation.

  1. Derek, when looking at your first source I had a hard time telling what the publication date was. Was this a 2004 article that this writer republished to his blog in 2010? That's an important distinction to make because it affects how recent the information is.

    I'm hesitant to endorse an article you find on Yahoo Voices because it's usually difficult to find any real information on the writer and it doesn't have the same standard of publication as even a newspaper or magazine would.
