Some prisoners are loners others are drug users. I feel that classifying these prisoners in there perspective categories would help in their rehabilitation and understanding of why they are the way they are. There should be rehab groups for each category and grouping prisoners with others of a similar background, while keeping them away from prisoners with a totally different background, to avoid jealousy and just misunderstandings in all areas. | * How do state and federal prisoners differ?

(Clark, 2013). Although shock incarceration is a better solution then adult prisons, it has been criticized over its incidents involving abuse of inmates by staff. (Cullen, 2012) Punishment and rehabilitation are a major part of the criminal justice system and will be effective in controlling crime if there is a way to incorporate the two factors to work together. Punishing and following up with rehabilitation through community supervision can help prevent crime.
REHABILITATION VERSES INCARCERATION Rehabilitation should be viewed as more key than incarceration itself. People who are convicted of crimes should be allowed to heal and better themselves.

When the prisoner is released, they may be very angry about the lack of attention they recieved, and become a repeat offender.

Ervin Frankli March 28, 2012 SWK 501: Policy II Alabama A&M University History of Juvenile Justice System: “Many people believe juvenile courts were invented to "go easy" on young criminals.

| Classification of Inmates | | | | | Classifications systems help minimize the potential for prison violence, escape, and institutional misconduct. During the past two decades, professionals in prisons and those in other correctional systems worked to improve their approaches to classifying offenders according to custody, work, and programming needs. As a result of these efforts, control in prisons has been improved, custody decisions are more consistent, prisoner program needs are assessed more accurately and institutional violence has declined. Inmates are classified as soon as the person is convicted of a crime; he or she is sent to the level of a prison accordingly with respect to his crime. The nature of a crime determines the level of a prison, if a person committed a more violent crime; it is likely that he would be sent to a more secured level of a prison.
