A prison houses many varieties of classes of people or populations. These populations react differently than the other. Each of these populations poses a different problem for correctional administrators. Lack of funds and people caring for inmates are only two of the many problems.

Prison life can be very treacherous. Overcrowding exaggerates conflicts and tensions that occur on an average day, which makes the task of keeping the prison secure and safe. Inmates within the prison as a rule are joined by racial groups; at times the racial groups are joined together by gang affiliation. The prison’s surroundings impact the institutional management and custody by the mounting populace and the gangs within the facility. The rise of gang membership has divided the shared system into contending groups, which amplifies the potential for violence.
Institutional aggression can be defined as aggressive behaviour that occurs within an institution motivated by social forces, rather than anger or frustration. Aggression can occur within groups or between groups. Sometimes the members of an institution may adopt aggressive behaviour, for example inmates in a prison may form into gangs that commit violence against other inmates, or members of a work force may bully other workers. Of interest to psychologists is whether or not institutional aggression is caused by the personalities of the institution’s members, or by the situation the members find themselves in. A lot of research into institutional aggression has focused on aggressive behaviour in prisons, and has led to the development of two theories: the importation model and the deprivation model.

The prison can be seen as a microcosm of the tension and violence occurring in Britain at that time as what is occurring in greater Belfast, is amplified within the pressure cooker of the confined prison where issues cannot be avoided. Because of the close confinement of the setting, emotions are high between the guards and the prisoners who are demanding political status.
There are many different purposes for jails in our society. Depending on the person you talk to prison can be for rehabilitation, protect us from evil doers, and away to punish criminals for their bad deeds. Either way I think the current jail system is fair effective at its job. Within the system you have different tiers of incarceration. You have probation, jail, prison, and parole.
Today’s prison systems have proven to be a collection of diverse individuals, some brilliant, some talented and some possessing sets of skills uncommon to even the most successful of free individuals. It is with such a diverse prison culture that rehabilitation has evolved into a much different element of American incarceration. With the presence of corrections based education, vocation, and work programs, prisoners are treated as individuals with potential, optimistic futures and most importantly, individuals who still have Eighth Amendment rights. It can be said that to be incarcerated in prison with no outlets to develop or improve intelligence, acquire skills, and reach ones potential is in a way “cruel and unusual punishment”. With the possibility to pursue education within prison walls, prisoners are provided the opportunity to develop personally as well as intellectually.
From self-reported data of sixty-eight prison officers drawn from a medium security committal prison for male offenders, findings of the present study indicate that according to several objective indicators, prison officers experience considerable stress on the job. Furthermore, the study revealed even though there are some concerns, such as safety, that might be more salient for prison officers than other professions, it is the broader organisation rather than the unique attributes of the job that exerted the greater influence on the level and sources of stress among prison officers in the present study. Significant predictors of stress reported by respondents included issues with management, safety concerns, work overload, compulsory overtime, work-family conflict and lack of proper facilities. Furthermore, based on the results it was suggested that reactions by prison officers to different stressors were found not only
