This is the year when the first true American prison, Walnut Street Jail in Philadelphia was established (Coley & Barton, 2006) The US prisons were established to achieve three main objectives: to promote public security, to enhance prisoner’s reformation and to ensure humanity of the prisoners.

According to Johnson, fatherliness refers to the youth whose biological fathers are usually absent or youth who are without regular paternal oversight from a nurturing adult male (2010). This implies that father figure‘s role can be formed by step dads, bigger brothers, or in some cases.

Childhood Obesity in the United States

Larry, you know I respect your opinion but there are some things I cannot just sit by and watch. Let me tell you a few things on childhood obesity and maybe you can understand my concern.
