This literature review is a summary of articles about the incarceration system. The review looked at the major issues of the incarceration system in America for men living inside of prisons or jails. I completed the piece in the health promotions writing class, and I separated some highlights as the paper was long.
This piece showcases my ability to:
- Navigate online databases to conduct a literature review
- Read and summarize the articles found on the database
- Cross compare articles to build an argument
Conducting this literature review built my confidence in my ability to read and analyze literature as well as explain it to others through writing. I grew more passionate about the state of the prison system in the United States and feel it is an important topic to talk about in order to effect change.
