Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Community corrections would be the most appropriate program for Joan, given her nonviolent crimes and relatively clean record. Being a mother could also work in her favor as it demonstrates her willingness to be responsible and provide for her children. Federal prison, county jail, private prison, and state institution for women would be more appropriate for those who have committed more severe crimes or have a more extensive criminal record.
