    Make four casts. This likely means you will make smaller impressions than your entire shoe.

    • Cast #1: Make an impression in the bio foam and then pour your cast. Do this one first as it is the most stable surface. You can practice in this and not fear messing up your cast too badly. To ensure your casting material goes far enough, feel free to only cast part of the shoe print. A tip to make “dam” in the impression is to take a piece of cardboard and insert it vertically to stop the casting material from seeping into the entire impression. If you have children, just use a smaller shoe!
    • Cast #2: Make an impression in the bio foam by pushing a quarter into the bio foam. Extract the quarter carefully and then pour that cast. Notice how much detail you can get with the casting material.
    • Cast #3: Take a small paper cup (like a Dixie cup) or a Styrofoam coffee cup. Put a quarter in the cup and then put about one inch thick of casting material over the quarter. Let it sit for 24 hours. Tear the cup off and pop out the quarter. You now have a paperweight. Compare the detail in the quarter from the Dixie cup to the detail in the other quarter in bio foam.
    • Cast #4: Use soft soil to make a three-dimensional impression, and again, process it like the video in the Instructional Materials, but only do part of it. Or do a small shoe.

    Prepare a photo packet of your process using Microsoft PowerPoint. For each impression, provide:

    • a photo of the impression before casting with a scale on the same plane as the impression;
    • a photo of it after pouring;
    • a photo of it when you lift it before cleaning;
    • a photo of the final product.

    Explain your process and your findings.

      Discussion

       

      Discuss the differences between multi- dimensional treatments and uni-dimensional treatments with substance abusers. In other words, discuss whether one specific treatment method should be used in the CJS (i.e. AA or NA only, therapy only, groups only) or if multiple treatment methods should be used where a number of different treatment methodologies are combined. Which do you think would have better treatment outcomes?  What does the research state about treatment outcomes? 

      Also, and as part of this assignment, discuss the efficacy of treating a substance disorder individually, treating a mental health disorder individually (depression, anxiety, schizophrenia, etc.) or treating both disorders together in a program that addresses both of these concerns in the CJS. What is your opinion and what does the research state?  What does the research state about the percentage of co-morbid or dual diagnoses in the CJS vs. individual substance disorders and mental health disorders? An abstract is required and will count towards your minimum page number.

        Discussion Question

        Describe how can a prison system provide the correct climate to develop the "therapeutic community" to effectively treat substance use. What are some ways in which prison systems can foster these therapeutic communities as part of a comprehensive rehabilitation system? Discuss how prison systems can support the implementation of a CBT, Motivational Interviewing, and/or 12-step model in a therapeutic community. 

          Discussion

          1.  In your opinion, how does the family influence juvenile delinquency?  Provide an example from an outside source of when a child was delinquent because of the family's influence.  You may use newspaper articles in your response.  Please be sure to provide a link to the source you use.

            C.I CS4

            In this segment of your case study, you are to set out the specific steps that should have been taken in your specific case. Prepare your assignment using any applicable chapters to this point, as well as potential future chapters that may be specific to the crisis you experienced (i.e., victim of a hostage situation in Chapter 9). You should also use outside research as applicable. Include any resources you received/needed, the financial impact felt or assistance received, etc.  The paper should culminate with the proper crisis resolution (had it been managed correctly)
