SAMSHA, this article has shown me more than anything that this world needs the most. Is the comfort and ability to speak up for yourself about your problems. From this I think that people find this to be the hardest part of healing, that help may not be there for them. Where in this web article, finding help is the most important goal to them, their mission. Where it shows the many many help hotlines and possible healing. This website also shows the overkill of statistics of people who deal with drug abuse.

Part of the Omnibus appropriations package, congress allowed Violence Against Women Act Reauthorization Act of 2022, which was signed by President Joe Biden. This was the upbringing of the many cases of domestic abuse cases and missing peoples cases where there is not even an accounted number of women missing within this article. Which I believe is the real tragic part of this as it shows that the government could not even count for the missing women. This case is one of the most important cases in Native American act to be presented for the government that even the President has provided support on. 

Philip A. May is a research specialist in the epidemiology of Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders. He uses his studies to bring to light the terrors of alcohol abuse while pregnant. Where the realm of this topic are more shown to occur in low income households, not without say that this does not happen in higher income households, although it does occur most often within lower income households. With Philip research to account for, he proudly declares that “We are currently examining individual variation in risk factors such as nutritional deficiencies in mothers and children including how genetics, epigenetics, and metabolism influence the severity of FASD outcomes. This emerging focus of our research will provide multiple insights and applications for precision nutrition and precision medical interventions for children living with FASD.”

For the world that has come to the present being, it's a wonder why so many people are imprisoned. What more, why is the most free country in the world the most imprisoned? Researchers working in PRB “A nonpartisan research organization focused on improving the health and well-being of people globally.” Found that our own prison system holds the highest incarceration rate since 2002. Where other countries have an average of 100 people of the 100,000 relative population. Compared to the United States which holds 500 people per the 100,000 relative population. FIve Times More than the average country's population. Thus not only having our own native communities being the most incarcerated. That our own people of the United States make up most of the incarcerated population. 

The way this relates to my topic heavily relies on the fact that our own people are part of this statistic. That even if we are the most imprisoned race in America. We populate the most incarcerated country in the world. Something that would change over time, as rates in Seychelles continue to rise from this point forward. Still, having to live in a country where every minority is already expected to live in the prison system; That the minorities that fill the prison system are nothing but numbers in rags. Makes all the more reason to ask more and more, “Why are we still not talking about this?” 

A prison system in Norway has developed many prison systems. Although none of them has been more destructive and unsuccessful as the United States prison system. Where it continued to be used till the 1990’s. Where Norway differs from any other jail is the living quarters. Once looking at it, it does not seem like a jail at all. Norway does not have large, centralized jails. Instead, “Norway utilizes a system of small, community-based correctional facilities that focus on rehabilitation and reintegration into society.” Where it  can be described as “The most humane jail in the world.” Which helps keep its prison numbers so low that not only does it work to keep the country safe. It helps rehabilitate the people in the incarceration system. 

The tie into my topic is very clear where I want to help understand that sometimes a punishment can go too far. That when certain people have done certain things in life, what do we help people do to grow from this and keep their chances of going back to jail low. It's been a case for years where natives can be generalized as “alcoholics that are always in jail.” A stereotype that has been passed down from person to person. Where I believe our Pueblo Government can learn from this is that. Certain punishments are needed. Although they have done bad, we need to sit with these people instead of throwing them away to another jail cell. No one gets better from just a night in a cold room. 

Through the National Institute of Justice: Crime Solution board it states that people who qualify as people who need rehab are the following: Alcohol and Other Drug (AOD) Offenders, High Risk Offenders, Prisoners, Serious/Violent Offenders. They would help these people by having them do activities. Most being related to controlling human emotion and behavior. All while being placed in correctional courts and other community/residential settings. Although these are the same conditions and practices used in other successful rehabilitation centers, they’ve proven to fail in most cases. “Behavioral theory suggests that individuals are conditioned to behave in a certain way based on experiences with reinforcement and punishment (Skinner 1965).” As this can be proven true for most cases. Does that conditioning also suggest that reinforced punishment can also be the reason why they cannot heal in rehab. 

The way this identifies with my topic is the fact that even through many forms of rehabilitation that are presented in our current rehabilitation practices they seem to not work at all. Which should make you ponder the question if this is a case of generational conditioning to harsh treatment or if there are underlying reasons other than it not being a viable strategy.? Does that count for my pueblo as well? This article suggests that this is the basics for helping someone who needs rehabilitation. Does my pueblo practice this? Even if our pueblo can change their ways of treating our people in rehab because they are not that far restricted by the US government system. Is that safe for the people who really need the help?
