Doing a reseach project on jail overcrowding and bail systems across the world.

[Jkid]

I'm taking a summer course in the University of Maryland called "Advanced Composition" and I need every information and facts I need for jail overcrowding and the american system of bail and bail systems around the world. Because my topic is arguing for reducing the jail population via abolishing bond and just either release them on ROR, conditional ROR, or remand.

Thanks in advance.

1. Then go look for the "information and facts." Start with Google and Google Scholar.

Do your own damn homework; don't ask people on the internet to do it for you.

Thank you.

2. I did.

I was hoping I would get more information from people who are actually had experience with the system.

3. Then you need to clarify your post, or you won't get the responses you're looking for.

... "every information" (sic) does not mean "I want to talk to people who have experience with the system." It reads like a request for other people to do your homework for you.

You might want to try rephrasing your request to let people know who you're looking for and how you will keep their personal information confidential if they don't want to post about their experiences on a public internet forum. Soliciting PMs would be a good way to do this. Also, check with your writing teacher to make sure you're not violating university research/confidentiality rules by soliciting the information you want -- you probably aren't, as long as you're not interviewing anyone who is currently a prisoner (there are extremely strict rules about this), but you'll win brownie points and may be able to get some help formulating questions.

Good luck.
