Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, , language: English, abstract: This paper was conduct in the Spring 2012 as a MSW student at the Hawai`i Pacific University. During this time, I was working at the O`ahu Community Correctional Center here in the island of O`ahu. I remember when Kulani Correctional Facility (KCF), which is a Medium security Sex Offender Treatment Program prison facility on the Big Island had closed its doors in October 2009. I remember how it affected the correctional staff workers and the communities on the Big Island. I was working at the Maui Community Correctional Center when this took place. Now, in 2012, State of Hawai`i's Governor Neil Abercrombie had promised to re-open KCF back to the community, as a prison facility. When I was a MSW at HPU in the Spring 2012, there was a Public Safety Policy on Reinstatement at Kulani Correctional Facility that many politicians and community leaders from the Big Island were heavily involved into bringing back KCF to serve our society. Moreover, Public Safety administration in regards to certain members have also contributed to the policy, as well. I conduct this research because I want to show support of in hopes of bringing KCF back "from the dead." Once again, KCF can serve as a prison facility to our society and most importantly to our beloved communities of Hawai`i.
