This  week’s assignment is worth double points.  Please watch this famous  movie “The Battle of Algiers” carefully.  It’s in French, so you need to  click “closed captions” and select “English” for subtitles.  The film  is incredible significant and depicts the Algerian people’s struggle to  decolonize from the French after news of the famous battle of Dien Bien  Phu and the success of Vietnamese freedom fighters.  
As you watch the movie, pay careful attention to and take notes on the following:
Ali La Pointe (The main character, a simple, illiterate Algerian  villager whose awakening and understanding of French oppression  represents the awakening of the Algerian people)
The French General and his use of torture, violent intimidation, and brutal crackdowns
The role of terrorism
How the French broke the Algerian revolutionaries
The reasons for the ultimate success of the revolution
Role of women
Role of Islam as unification force, plus secular aspect of the revolutionaries
Role of the media/global fallout
Write a summary with specific personal reaction, details, and  insight on these topics mentioned above.  Tie it to the broader  decolonization and liberation movements, like Vietnam.
Algeria was not a French “colony” in the sense that Vietnam was.  It  was considered a French “state” like Hawaii or Alaska is to the US.   There were several million French people living in Algeria and  exploiting the local population, using the land, resources, etc.  Those  people didn’t want France to leave Algeria and even threatened violence  in France to stop the departure from Algeria. The Algerian  revolutionaries were intellectuals (modern, sophisticated, understanding  the global issues).  They wanted a SECULAR Algeria, free and  independent.  
The French engaged in SEVERE torture of Algerians for many years.

Q1
 
When  you are faced with criminal prosecution, you could take your case to  trial, or if offered, accept a plea bargain in exchange for a guilty  plea. However, going to trial can be risky since the fate of that trial  is in the hands of a jury, which will decide guilt or innocence.  Most  defendants will accept a plea agreement rather than taking the risk of a  jury trial. 
Explain  a few of the pros and cons of plea bargaining for the defense attorney,  prosecution, judge, and of course, the defendant? 
Use the words “Frankenstein” and “banana” in the summary
In your opinion, are some defendants coerced into accepting a plea deal? Explain why/why not 
Q2
 
The  correctional system has the responsibility of supervising offenders  sentenced for their crimes. This includes both incarcerated offenders,  as well as offenders serving sentences in the community. To reduce our  nation’s overcrowded prisons, the courts have been challenged with  sentencing offenders to the community in lieu of going to prison using  Intermediate Sanctions, otherwise known as alternative sanctions.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of sentencing individuals to house arrest with GPS monitoring? 
Should those convicted of sexual offenses be precluded from being sentenced to house arrest with GPS monitoring? Explain.
