Please download to view attachmentResearch Literature Review This week’s assignment will require you to develop a research literature review on the issue for which you developed an introduction, problem statement, and general research design in earlier units of the course. The literature review should include review of a minimum of five original research studies relevant to your specific topic and published in peer-reviewed journals. Note, law review articles and publications that are themselves literature reviews and not original studies may not be used for this assignment. A literature review is not an annotated bibliography; it is a synthesis of empirical research related to the specific applied problem you are proposing to study. Write a 1,250- to 1,750-word literature review that includes: · Introduction (at least one paragraph): Prepare an introductory paragraph outlining the discussion that is to follow, including the problem you are studying and the research you will examine. · Theoretical Considerations (at least one paragraph): Discuss theoretical considerations or assumptions relevant to your issue. To determine these, consider the research hypothesis you developed in earlier units. What theory or theories (e.g., social learning theory, critical theory, constructivism theory, human behavioral theory, network theory, routine activities theory, etc.) would help to explain the relationship you hypothesize exists between your independent and dependent variables? For example, a study that hypothesizes that three strikes laws will reduce crime might be based on deterrence theory and the assumption that severe sanctions will deter offenders from committing additional crimes. · Literature Review (1,000–1,250 words): · Analyze the information presented in the five studies and identify major themes running through the works, discussing these themes and the applicable findings from the studies reviewed. · Compare and contrast the studies, highlighting strengths and weaknesses in the methods used and any study limitations noted by the authors. · Fully discuss the key findings from each study individually, as well as in comparison to the other studies reviewed. · Summary and Conclusions: · Synthesize your review into a summary of what is known and what is not known from the research that has been conducted on your topic. · Identify any areas of controversy or conflicting findings in the literature reviewed. · Draw conclusions based on the studies reviewed and formulate questions that remain to be studied in future research (hopefully your proposed study will examine one of these questions that remain to be answered).  ·  Be sure to cite your sources in the body of your paper and list them on your reference page, consistent with APA guidelines. Remember, applied research is not common knowledge, so it is important to cite to all of your sources of information.

Introduction
The Hillsborough County Sheriff has ordered the release of the inmates from the jail in order to prevent the spread of COVID. The managements of jail and officials had taken several cautious measures to protect the populace at prison either by hand sanitizing or by social removing. As mentioned by Andrews (2017), the detainers were at high risk of getting affected from this spread as not each US jail has the equal correctional facilities. This study will help to understand the consequence of the release of the inmates from the jail in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among all the prisoners inside the jail and the way this release can provide a solution from the pandemic spread.
Theoretical Considerations
According to the research hypothesis studied in the earlier unit this retrospective observational study highlights to understand the impact of the release of the inmates from the jail in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 among the prisoners in jail. As stated by Rubin (2020), this hypothesis helps to study that whether this release of the inmates is fruitful in preventing the spread of coronavirus among the prisoner or not. The independent variables state the releasing of the inmates by implementing several safety net programs and initiating necessary arrangements within the custodial settings inside the prison.
On the other hand, the dependent variables state the reduction of the spread in order to mitigate and prevent from the Coronavirus among the prisoners. The constructive results would help this study to modify the policies for prisoners, in terms of safety in the priority list with few limitations for the release. If the spread continues within the prison, which would affect the lives of the prisoners, then the US prisoners will be set free outside the jail (Hawks, Woolhandler & McCormick, 2020).
Literature Review
Themes Identified from 5 Papers
Theme 1: Response to Covid-19 inside US Prisons
According to a study by Pyrooz, Labrecque, Tostlebe and Useem (2020), correction officials, after the pandemic in US, have responded with several shifting of institutional practices, which include the several programming, suspension of visitation and releasing of the prisoners. This is because they lack several correctional facilities, due to which they, in return, lack confidence in their abilities in preventing the outbreak and treat the infected prisoners. As stated by the authors, several strategies are required in order to mitigate the spread, consequence and fear of COVID-19 in the correctional facilities as this disease has the capability in transforming the main purpose of the US jail. 
According to a study by Novisky, Narvey and Semenza (2020), most of the prison jurisdiction system all over the US has provided information regarding the measures that had been taken for the prisoners in order to prevent the spread of COVID-19 across the correction facilities. This study focuses on certain preventive measures that will reduce the risk rate of spreading the virus and study have chosen to educate the prisoners to hand sanitize properly and maintain a social distance so as avoid the spread. As supported by Franco-Paredes et al. (2020), it highlights three main initiations— firstly, mass testing within the correction facilities, secondly, providing ample supply of PPEs and thirdly, educating as well as making the prisoners understand the importance of hand sanitization and usage of it.
According to a study by Vose, Cullen and Lee (2020),
