Legal Issues Surrounding Elderly Prisoners
Overview:
legal issues surrounding elderly prisoners. This is a 10 page paper that counts as my final exam grade for my Elder Law course (I am a second year JD candidate law student). The paper should explore the legal issues surrounding elderly prisoners. This can be at the state or federal level. The issue is that the population of our world is increasingly aging, which means that criminals are living longer in prisons and therefore reaching older ages in these facilities.
Analysis:
The prisons, however, are not necessarily equipped to accommodate the elderly and the health issues associated with aging. This is a law research paper so you can discuss case examples where perhaps elderly abuse in prisons hapen or where there have been other issues with elderly prisoners, as well has what the law is doing to address these issues, or what should be done. Citations should be uniform, ideally Blue Book format. The topic is broad, so as long as you identify and discuss some of the legal issues surrounding elderly prisoners, that should suffice. 10 pages double spaced.
Additional Guidelines
The quotes should be complete sentences (no more, less) and should be incorporate-d in your essay to illustrate your ideas. Please, cite your sources in a clickable reference list at the end. Also, do not copy without providing proper attribution (quotation marks and in-line citations). Also, write an essay format, not in bullet form, numbering, or another list format. It would be best if you use your own words. Lastly, proofread your work and run it through Grammarly for thorough confirmation.
APA style for references and in-text citation
Answers with the course’s readings and at least wo scholarly journal articles. The article’s purpose is to support your positions, claims, and observations, in addition to your textbook. Sources ProQuest and EBSCOhost are great sites to find resources. Also, write in a concise and logical, using excellent grammar and style techniques. Additionally, the quality of your writing dictates grading criteria. On the other hand, if you use direct quotes from books or articles, place the words you copied (use parenthesis) and cite them in-line. Also, only use sources within the five-year range.
