Injustice In Brave New World

During Andy’s arrival to the penitentiary, he seemed like he was in distress and in disbelief that he was going to spend the rest of his life incarnated. The moment when Andy was being shackled he knew at that moment that he lost all of his rights and freedoms. When he was in society he was deem with freedoms such as expression, liberty, speech, etc. but now they are taken away. An example of a scene would be when Andy and the other new inmates were force to listen to the guards and do what they were told.

The inner moral compulsion to obey is what drives most social organizations. Sykes (2007) described several structural defects that occurred in the New Jersey State prison. Sykes (2007) argues that power in prison is not based on authority therefore prison officials have to find other means to get prisoners to abide by the rules and regulations. The ability to use force to maintain order on a large scale in the prison is an illusion. According to Sykes (2007), Certain privileges such mailing and visiting, personal possessions, time-off for good behavior etc. are given to the inmate all at once upon his or her arrival to the prison.

Andy comes into shawshank with more confidence than normal new inmates. This leads him to get a deal with the guards and warden,

To me, a social injustice is an act in which an individual or group of individuals are not treated fairly based on his or her gender, sexuality, citizenship status, and/or ethnicity. social injustices arise when individuals, who should be considered as equals, are treated unequally. This is caused by barriers, such as racism, oppression, discrimination, and sexism. Social injustices will not be fixed until the individuals who do not respect others start realizing that it is not our differences that should be held against us, but embraced and glorified. Everyone is different, not one person is the same as the next.

The criminal justice system may be more corrupt than the people who fill our prisons. It is amazing to see the many ways that certain parts of society actually benefit from the current system we support. This book,The Rich Get Richer and The Poor Get Prison, by authors Jeffrey Reiman and Paul Leighton, has open my eyes to a very corrupt idealism. They are very precise in their supporting examples as well by walking the reader through each step and analogy.

Eventually, Red got out on parole, and it was the hope that Andy brought to Shawshank that kept him going on the outside. In this story, Andy was the most hopeful person in Shawshank, but he was also sensible towards the notion of risk and reward. Despite being a

The book Burning Down the House: The End of Juvenile Prison, by Nell Bernstein is a compelling expose on the inherent evil of juvenile detention facilities. In her eye-opening account of the danger that lies within locking up this nation’s youth, Bernstein utilizes a plethora of rhetorical strategies to urge her audience to recognize and act on her claim. In writing this account on the heinousness of juvenile detention centers and why the system as a whole must be reformed, Bernstein uses personal cause and effect examples, studies and statistics, as well as concrete refutations to advocate the world for change. Bernstein starts her argument by providing readers with personal examples of the effects juvenile detention centers had on a handful of the kids she interviewed. Her first example briefly narrates how Jared, an adolescent many would

Andy a former banker uses his banking skills to help out the warden plus some guards, doing business schemes and helping with investments of most of the prison staff. In exchange, he is able to improve the prison library. Today’s prison population

Andy Dufresne decided to tunnel out of Shawshank prison and escape with the wardens money, because he was locked up for something he did not do, Andy knew that he was not getting out, not if the warden could help it. Andy knew he had to do something, he knew what he was going to do the night he engraved his name on the wall, he knew that he was innocent and that he had to give himself the freedom that was wrongfully taken from him. This is how Andy deals with the death of his freedom, he escapes and takes the wardens money to give himself his freedom. If I were in a similar situation to Andy, I would tunnel out of Shawshank if I knew I was innocent and I would take the wardens money. I would do this because free people should not be treated like guilty ones, and if you are in a situation where they will keep you locked up no matter what you have to do what you have to do in order to free

Andy maintained his moral compass even in the face of extreme adversity, refusing to give in to corruption or violence. Edmond's moral compass was distorted by his thirst for revenge, and he went to great lengths to achieve it, even harming innocent people. This shows that Andy's sense of morality is stronger than Edmond's and makes him a better person overall. Furthermore, Andy displayed resilience in the face of adversity.

The way Andy deals with death of freedom is that he helps the warden and guards, he builds a library and escapes from the prison. Firstly, death of freedom can cause someone to act in different ways, so they could feel free again. The prison guards know how useful Andy is to them for giving advice to them about money, investments and taxes. He is allowed to do special treatments and more stuff than other prisoners.

This preconceived notion could not be farther from the truth. In reality, these reform movements are idiotically placing a bandaid over the tremendous issue that the prison system is. An imbalance of reforms between women and men, unrestrained sexual abuse in women’s prisons, and tyrannical gender roles are just three of countless examples of how prison reform movements only create more misfortune and fail to provide any real solution to worsening prison conditions. Perhaps instead of conjuring up additional ideas on how to reform prisons, America’s so-called democratic society should agree upon abolishing prisons as a whole. This being said, it is crucial to identify ongoing issues in today’s society, understand how they contribute to unlawful behavior, and seek a solution.

Andy’s hobby acts as a seal that protects his mind against the encroachments of his oppressive environment which, in fact,

A smart and intelligent person who was presented with a chance to be found innocent. This gave Andy hope, A reason to fight and keep going but when the warden denied his request of a retrial, he lost all that hope forcing him to change and become almost broken. When he was released from solitary confinement he was shriveled up in a corner almost with the same thousand yard stares formed in veterans that fought in wars. During those wars, The soldiers that fought saw things that the majority of us will never see in our lives. They saw their fellow friends and sometimes family killed in front of their eyes which (most of the time) stripped their hope away from them making them feel like there's no reason to live or to keep going and as a result it changed them.

After he came to Shawshank, he experienced every terrible and disgusting things happening there. Whenever Bogg’s “sisters” physically abuses and rapes Andy, he endures it until he figures out where to get protection and how would he manage it. Andy gets protection from the guards and relations with other prisoners, and he achieves his demands by his knowledge and skills. He builds relationships with ‘co-workers’ by sharing beers from helping Hadley.
