Please list articles that you're considering for your Wikipedia assignment below. Begin to critique these articles and find relevant sources.

Option 1

 * Article title:Recidivism
 * Article Evaluation:The article of recidivism has a warning at the top of the page that states the article doesn't have a worldwide view of the information provided, rather it deals primarily with the United States. There is already a section on Minnesota in relation to recidivism research so I could add to that, other research and studies that have been done in Minnesota.
 * Sources:Clark, V. A. (2015). Making the most of second chances: An evaluation of Minnesota’s high-risk revocation reduction reentry program. Journal of Experimental Criminology, 11(2), 193–215. https://doi.org/10.1007/s11292-014-9216-5 :Duwe. (2018). The effects of the timing and dosage of correctional programming on recidivism. Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 57(3-4), 256–271. https://doi.org/10.1080/10509674.2017.1401025

Option 2

 * Article title:Rehabilitation (penology)
 * Article Evaluation:I think this article is overall good but is definitely lacking in some parts. Wikipedia has a warning for the section titled "Psychopathy and Recidivism" as having questionable neutrality as of May 2021. In this section, there are alleged facts stated without citations which raises questions about how accurate the information is.
 * Sources:Kerrison, E. M. (2018). Exploring how prison-based drug rehabilitation programming shapes racial disparities in substance use disorder recovery. Social Science & Medicine (1982), 199, 140–147. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.socscimed.2017.08.002 :Pompoco, Wooldredge, J., Lugo, M., Sullivan, C., & Latessa, E. J. (2017). Reducing inmate misconduct and prison returns with facility education programs. Criminology & Public Policy, 16(2), 515–547. https://doi.org/10.1111/1745-9133.12290 :Duwe, G. (2015). Does release planning for serious and persistent mental illness offenders reduce recidivism? Results from an outcome evaluation. Journal of Offender Rehabilitation, 54(1), 19–36. https://doi.org/10.1080/10509674.2014.974854

Option 3

 * Article title:Prison
 * Article Evaluation:There is a lot of information in this article; ranging from the history of prisons to the design of the different levels of current security facilities. If I were to contribute to this article, I would probably add under the section of "Theories of Criminality and Punishment." I'm interested in adding information about the process of 'warehousing' inmates and how it negatively effects inmates.
