Homework: The Ethics and Current Issues Paper
Mass incarceration and the prison industrial complex
In your paper, you will apply ethical theories and perspectives to the issue that you select.

To be balanced in your discussion, make sure that you clearly examine both sides of the issue you are considering, not just arguments that confirm what you already know and believe.
