They are not able to be housed with general population in fear that they will be retaliated against by other prisoners. The inmates in this unit may consist of sex offenders, ex-police officers, child abusers, and even rejected gang members. For these reasons they are put into their own unit for their “protection” from harm that fellow inmates may want to inflict on
Pro Solitary Confinement They are many different reasons of why solitary confinement is used in the corrections system. One is for inmates that need to be placed in protective custody for their own protection. The second is for inmates that have broken the rules with in jail system and are placed in solitary confinement also known as “administrative” or “disciplinary segregation” (Gordon, 2014, para.2). The use of protective custody is for he safety of the inmates and juveniles from other inmates that can cause them physical or mental harm. This inmates are place in a different part of the prison were they have no type of interaction.
In ‘Prison Diary’, Dole says that it’s the feeling of ‘impotence’ that finally ‘breaks you’ in prison. What does he mean by this? What dole means, it is the things in life that you realize you will not be able to take part in again is what makes prison the hardest. You are a spectator to your family’s life. You cannot be there for a tragedy, or help them when they are sick.
In the future of corrections is about reforming the inmates and getting them the most proper care that they need. Inmates that have mental needs should be put in a facility just for inmates that need proper care and attention. Inmates are committing crimes with no remorse for people because they understand that they will be released, from prison and sent back out to commit the crimes once again. The prison systems are not helping inmates. Once prisons can start to reform prisoners to stop those prisoners who like to keep coming back alot of things can change.
Inmates are pretty much like a child; you always have to watch them. If you don’t watch them then you will see them escape from prison or see them dealing drug while they are in prison. Prison deters repeat offenders, which is a pro of prison. Some ex-cons will attempt to follow the law as closely as possible to avoid returning to prison. In this case, the prison system is effective in rehabilitating
This mistreatment is used prior to the actual interrogation session to encourage the prisoner to talk. Interrogators can gain valuable information on troop movements or future operations of opposing forces. They can use the prisoner as bargaining chips within the conflict, having them read prepared statements denouncing further action by their followers or comrades, or trade these prisoners for the lives of their own forces. Although this may seem to work, prisons reach a point where they will say anything, true or not, just to end the interrogation. The use of force is not necessary to gain the cooperation of sources, as prisoners are more likely to cooperate when they feel a sense of trust and respect.
The Stanford Prison Experiment The stanford prison experiment was designed to test the psyche of individuals when placed in positons of absoluter power or extreme trauma, as well as to see if the "prisoners" would oppose the corruption by standing together or fall apart and turn on one another. The volunteers for the experiment were randomly assigned the jobs of either guard or prisoner and they were instructed to asume the roles they were given by any means, helping to simulate a real prison experience. This video illustrates the influence of social institutuions such as prisons by revealing how easily one in a position of power can be easily corrupted. The video partly focuses on one such volunteer in the role of a guard who based his decisions in the replication of a prison warden he saw in a film. The vvolunteer described the warden as a cruel one, and so as he began to imitate him, he became equally as cruel.
Socrates’ Homework ! Katie Scha Professor Held Western Civilization 27 September 2012 Schaefer 1 “ The unexamined life is not worth living” 1. Socrates’ famous dictum “the unexamined life is not worth living” means that without leaving your comfort zone in life you aren't experiencing anything new, in my opinion thats the worst way to live life. The text exemplifies the dictum by first explaining how the prisoners live life, since childhood they have bound and unable to move in any way. As the text continues it states that the prisoners are freed to move but are obviously scared of the changes.
Most of the prisoners just want to do there time and get out. They could careless what education benefits the prison has to offer, and chose to not pursue and form of useful education. The prisoners would rather find better ways to be a criminal. That is were the rehabilitation of the common convict has failed miserably. Lawmakers and Politicians will swear up and down that the prison system will work on any prisoner, however they just say that to receive funding or a vote.
"The physical structure of the prison, combined with prison security procedures and armed security personnel, create a strict and intimidating environment. An initial visit on your own will ensure a more controlled emotional reaction and give you some time to think about how to explain this setting and its procedures to the child" (Wright & Seymour, p. 57). Be prepared for disappointments. Just like ordinary visits, things do not always go as planned. For example, you may travel to the prison and then be unable to visit the inmate because of security concerns unrelated to the inmate you're visiting (Wright & Seymour).
