Should inmates receive special consideration for extraordinary acts?

If the person is eligible for parole hearings, I would say absolutely this should be considered in those hearings. In these hearings they keep an eye out for behavior indicitive of rehabilitation. Saving someone's life by stopping another inmate may help show a improved respect for life and law, particularly if it is in combination with other positive social behavior.

If the person is in jail for is beyond the possibility for parole I think that it should be recognised, yet I don't think it should trigger a special opportunity for a parolle hearing.

Yes, I think it's fair to give them some sort of special consideration. I think good behavior definitely qualifies here. That being said, if anyone thinks the treatment they're getting is too special, why not offer them a medal, plaque, or some other form of recognition without necessarily letting it change their sentence?

Good behavior is already rewarded in most state penal systems in the U.S. As well as in the Federal system. This is a good thing I believe, as it encourages the process towards true rehabilitation. That said, one should not confuse consideration and recognition for dispensation.

Should good behavior, even when extraordinary, be rewarded with special privilege, of course not. In the real world, many extraordinary acts go unrewarded every day. The nobler elements of our society perform kind, and at times, extraordinary acts not for what they will receive, but rather for the sole purpose of doing what's right.

A prison inmate should be no different. Doing what's right does not entitle you to special rewards.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
