After reviewing this week's online material, please participate in the discussion below.

1. Initial Post that reflects on the following questions (two hundred words minimum, post by SUNDAY, Feb 25th):

Consider what you have learned about the legal challenges many people face when they are released (including the impact these legal challenges have on the rest of the CJ system). Then briefly discuss your ideas for how these issues could be addressed.

This could include:

• Changes to parole
• Changes to fines and fees
• Alternative punishments
• Law or policy changes
• Or any other ideas your group has about potential solutions

Please provide some details of the changes you would make and EXPLAIN WHY using specific examples/explanations from class material. There are no wrong answers, but you should explain the impact you think the changes will have on the legal challenges for people who are released. Overly generic answers with no specifics or explanations will not receive full credit.
