A jail is defined as a confinement facility for people held in lawful custody, that are under the jurisdiction of a local government. The purpose of jails is to receive and hold individuals that are waiting for trial, or to hold inmates that have already been sentenced.

In the United States, many of the different state´s jails are over capacity in their population. This is a direct consequence of the growth of delinquency in the country, having 1 over 200 citizens behind bars. The growth of jails has been referred to as the <em><u>"shame of the criminal justice system</u></em>" due to the poor conditions in which most of these jails are in. Also, the staff that works in these jails is underpaid and not properly trained for their job. This situation is a result of the low priority that the jail system has when it comes to distributing the local budget.

If rutherford had fired neutral particles at the gold foil rather than positively charged alpha particles, how would his results
Citrus2011 [14]

The outcomes would remain unchanged, with the majority of particles passing through the foil undisturbed and only a small number being deflected at broad angles.

<h3>Deflected angles? What do you mean by that? </h3>

A deflection angle is the angle created by the forward extension of the previous leg and the line ahead. From the tangent at the PC or PT to any other desired point on the curve, the deflection angle is calculated. When determining the refractive index of the prism, the angle of deflection () between the incident and emerging rays is crucial. In gunnery, the deflection angle is crucial. In this context, it alludes to the angle formed by the lines of sight to the aiming point and a moving target. The charge to mass ratio of a particle determines the angle of deflection it experiences in an electric field. Greater deflection results from a stronger attraction between the particle and electric field at higher charges.

When he writes, The human understanding when it has once adopted an opinion ... draws all things else to support and agree with
scoray [572]

Answer:

Confirmation Bias

Explanation:

Confirmation bias is a deep seated tendency to prefer information that confirms our existing positions. The human  understanding when it has once adopted an opinion draws all things else to support and agree with it. And though there is a greater number and weight of instances to be found not true, he either neglects, despises or rejects in order that by this great and pernicious determination the authority of its conclusions may remain inviolate. Confirmation bias is found to be important because it may lead people to hold strongly to false beliefs or give more weight to information that supports their beliefs than is warranted by evidences. This biased approach is largely unintentional and often results in ignoring inconsistent information

This is a well known psychological tendency
