The continents are not drifting, exactly. They are physically attached to the tectonic plates, which are basically enormous slabs of rock that are stacked on top of each other. The tectonic plates cause the continents to move in a process known as <u>plate tectonics,</u> also causing earthquakes, sink holes, and a number of other natural disasters. I think the best way to make a visualization of this is making a plate of pancakes, and stacking them while only half of each pancake is on top of the previous one, and as it goes up, it becomes more steep, until the point where they fall over.

What significance does the contemporary concept of prisoner reentry hold for today’s corrections administrators? For society? Ho
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Prisoner reentry is a program made of offenders (incarcerated individual) whereby they are assisted with a successful transition to their community after they are released. The significance of this is that, it encourages the integration of the offender into the socety inorder to contribute in the growth of the community rather than going back to the life of crime.

On the otherhand, it helps the society towards drastic reduction of the number of people incarcerated in prisons thereby promoting the rehabilitation and bahavioural corrections for which the prison is meant for.

<em>The prisoner reentry differs from parole in that, in reentry, the offender is truely free to integerate into the society whereas in parole, the offender has a stipulated time frame upon which his good behaviour while being integerated in the society is mandatory. If he goes contrary against the expected behaviour, he would be thrown into prison to continue his sentences.</em>
