Interview w/ a lawyer.

Given the opportunity to interview someone involved in the criminal justice system, my first preference was a judge; due to my schedule and her schedule, I was unable to interview her. She opted for a phone interview, but phone interviews were not allowed as part of the criteria for the assignment.  Still searching, I went to the Hyattsville District Court and found a couple of attorneys to assist me in my assignment. Particularly, a University of Maryland Alumni--Gessesse Teferi

Mr. Gessesse Teferi, graduated in 1996 from University of Maryland, College Park (as mentioned).  Initially, he was an Engineering major, and later changed it to History.  After that he worked with a Human Rights Organization in DC--World Organization against Torture.  The organization dealt with conventions against torture i.e. the death penalty, prison violence (inmates v. inmates, guards v. inmates), inhumane conditions at social institutions like schools, prisons, etc.  He worked there for a year and his responsibilities included researching lots of information, filing papers, and attending meetings.  After that, he got so interested in human rights, and decided to go to Law school to pursue and strengthen his career interest.  Mr. Tefe


Mr. Teferi states that the most significant part involves getting his witnesses together.  He also added, the most cases are delayed for one reason or the other; for example, for gun cases, if the gun has not been test-fired, there is a continuance of that case until the gun has been test-fired. Although, Mr. Teferi doesn't have years of experience in the Criminal Justice system, he already sees alot of things that he would change about it.  A topic that particularly interests him is Rehabilitation.  He feels that a strong emphasis on rehabilitation in society would cease or dramatically decrease recidivism; Rehabilitation is really important because it could be the key to stop the repetition of the criminal cycle. When some of these offenders come out of jail, they go right back to what they were doing that got them in jail in the first place.  This happens because they are not rehabilitated and their mind-set is still the same.  There needs to be a change, there needs to be more funds for social programs and services, education needs to be improved, and there needs to be more access to education or skill development programs, for those that say "school isn't for them".  There also needs to be more employment....we need more, more of any and everything that has ties to an individual's ability to succeed.  If people are busy, then what time do they have to commit crime?"

Mr. Gessesse Teferi is an Assistant State's Attorney; he prosecutes cases for the state, cases such as traffic violation cases, assault cases, theft  (under $500)
