Texas must maintain enough space for its prison population because courts have ruled that overcrowding

Social Studies

QveST [7]4 years ago

Answer:

Constitutes cruel and unusual punishment.

Explanation:

This ruling came in 1972 when David Ruiz who was an inmate, sued William Estelle who was the Texas Department of Corrections (TDC) director over poor living and working conditions of the area. His class action suit, the ever longest running lawsuit by a prisoner in United States history, established that the management of TDC prisons constituted cruel and unusual punishments which is proscribed by the 8th amendment to the constitution of the U.S.

He rightly established that the placement of two or more inmates in a facility meant for one inmate is overcrowding. After 129 days, the District court in Texas ruled in plaintiffs’ favour and that led to an agreement for the state to reduce the population of inmates to 95% of the capacity of the prison, together with the separation of hardcore offenders from other inmates.

What is one way the Ottoman Empire made money?
Lyrx [107]
<span>The first large silver coins were minted in 1690 after the Polish coin isolette or zolota which was imported in large quantities by Dutch merchants during the seventeenth century. These coins were about one third smaller than the Dutch thalers.[1]</span> Their weight was fixed in standard dirhams (3,20 grams) and they contained 60 percent silver and 40 percent copper. The largest of these weighed 6 dirhams, or approximately 19.2 grams. Later, in 1703, an even larger coin weighing approximately 8 dirhams, or 25-26 grams and its fractions were also minted. <span>It appears that the first large coin of 1690 was intended as a zolota or cedid (new) zolota to distinguish it from the popular Polish coin and not as a gurush or piaster.[2]</span> Only after larger silver coins began to be minted in the early decades of the eighteenth century, was the new monetary scale clearly established. The new Ottoman gurush was then fixed at 120 akches or 40 paras. The early gurushes weighed six and a quarter dirhams (20.0 grams) and contained close to 60 percent silver. The zolotas were valued at three fourths of the gurush or at 90 akches. <span>The fractions of both the gurush and zolota were then minted accordingly.[3]</span> Due to wars and continuing political turmoil, however, many coins were minted with sub-standard silver content until the monetary reform of 1715-16. The appearance of sub-standard coinage attracted large numbers of counterfeiters until the 1720s.

Characteristics frequently associated with nonvoters include which of the following?
serious [3.7K]

Answer:

c. Low education, low income, and being relatively young.

Explanation:

The people with lower literacy rates were mostly unaware of the value of their vote and their citizenship rights. They lacked faith in the voting system and see it as a system of just pretending to secure their rights. Young age and lack of patience drive them towards other methods to change their socio-economic conditions while some consider that irrespective of what they choose it would not change their life anyhow.

An effective slogan to discourage gender discrimination.​
Fantom [35]

Answer:

7 slogans for you

Explanation:

Fighting for gender equality is not a responsibility for women only. The society should be held accountable for it too.

2. As long as there are words like gender floating around in society, there can be no real equality.

3. Why do we need gender roles when there are lip-smacking sushi rolls to enjoy?

4. It is not a matter of job or race or height. Every individual deserves to be treated well and treated right.

5. There is a ‘man’ in every ‘woman’, a ‘he’ in every ‘she’ and a ‘hero’ in every ‘heroine’. Give her an equal opportunity, and you will see the benefit with your own eyes.

6. Move ahead of stereotypical gender binaries. Look around, and there are a lot more than masculine and feminine. Build a society that gives an equal opportunity to all.

7. Treat every man and every woman as a human. Neither is superior nor better nor more intelligent nor more hard working.
