Question 81 • Public Speaking II Q2 - CMSD

You have been given an assignment to speak on the federal prison system in the U.S. Which of the following sources is likely to be the least credible?

Answer
A
an interview with an inmate of a federal prison
B
the US Department of Justice “Federal Bureau of Prisons” website: http://www.bop.gov/
C
the website [http://www.prisons.net/] which discusses the danger of releasing an alarming number of convicts back into society
D
an article from FoxNews.com about the Florida State Penitentiary

Explanation

The prisons.net website is the least credible source because its alarmist wording about releasing “an alarming number” of convicts suggests a strong point of view rather than balanced, verifiable information. The Department of Justice’s Bureau of Prisons website is an official source, while an inmate interview and a Fox News article may still provide useful firsthand or reported information, though each should be evaluated critically. The correct choice is the website discussing the danger of releasing convicts.
