Together these factors have dramatically altered the nature of day-today prison life and inmate culture. Today’s prison life is much better than past times. I think it’s barbaric that prisons used to torture their prisoners, and they had no say in anything. Although today’s prisoners still don’t have much of a say in what occurs inside prison, they know they won’t get tortured like prisoners in the past. I’ve always heard that during the Industrial Revolution, many prisoners were used as free labor, but I never realized how much money the prisons actually made from this kind of labor.
The original role for prisons was just to hold criminals and no regard was given for an inmate’s well-being. These prisons were often overcrowded and dirty (2011). The welfare of the inmates did not seem to matter. As Roth states in the text “Contrary to existing penal protocol, Rush envisioned a prison system in which convicts were housed in a large building equipped with single cells to segregate the more dangerous and disruptive prisoners. All others were lodged in apartments” (2011, p. 89).
Authoritarian model What is the intended goal of corrections administrations that utilize the model? We begin our paper with an analysis of the changing ideology of management in public affairs which has forced changes on the management of the prison. The term authoritarians describe an organization that enforces strong oppressive measures against the prison population. This particular different styles this system of one-man rule, whether benevolent or despotic, took nearly a century to supplant, and even now the job is far from complete in a few prisons because the main goal of this approach the warrant never allow for any of the decision accept the head and do not consult or allow for anyone else input. This type of leadership is strictly base on the fact that the Leader (warden) knows the it should and will be done under their watch, they also do not expect or trust any other employees to take on the responsibility, because they lack ambition the place that this type of leadership is best suited in a environment for prisons and military.
In the 1970s the camp was demolished. Near the site there is now a museum, and monuments of remembrance of those transported and killed during World War II. While Canada did not directly experience the Holocaust, it was impacted in many ways by the tragedy. Canada’s restrictive immigration policies at the time made it impossible on Jews trying to leave Europe. This included 937 Jewish passengers of the M.S.
Prison officials are trying to fight back at the leaders, yet there is no good progress. The prison was made to keep the gang members and leaders from continuing such activity of the violence of crime on the streets along with putting some type of scare in them, but the gang members and leaders come to the Pelican Bay State Prison to master their skills. This Pelican Bay State Prison is basically a true war zone, with there being violence in every part of the prison along with leaders making orders for outside
The farms that the Japanese once owned and leased were now run by refugees from dust bowl. Sections of Los Angeles where the Japanese once lived were taken over by African American people. Housing was very expensive, and many Japanese had a hard time finding shelter. They had to resort to trailers parks and low rent apartments. (Yancey
Within the realm of correctional officers, the largest obstacle is not the inmates but the politics that exist in the facility. There seems to be an officer culture within a culture and many times it becomes difficult to decipher. Another issue is communication within the correctional facility between individuals who possess different roles. Many times information does not get relayed properly or to the appropriate individuals so no one seems to be on the same page. An ongoing concern is that officer’s power has seemed to be almost eliminated and that causes problems with inmates and hostility amongst staff.
I think the primary goal should be incapacitation. Basically, no one really end up in prison on a first offense, unless it's a particularly big one. Most prisoners have many less severe priors on their record. They've demonstrated the willingness to victimize innocent folks again and again. For that, they need to be removed from society for the society's good.
Even though it was better during this time period, patients were treated poorly and abused any many of these hospitals, but most mentally ill patients were staying out of prison and jails. This all began to change with the emptying of the state mental hospitals in the 1960’s. This is widely referred to as deinstitutionalization, this was probably the most well-meaning but poorly planned medical-social policy of the twentieth century America. Many patients discharged were not given follow ups and all psychiatric care had been taken away from them. These patients
Most prisoners do not expect to really have to do anything out of the ordinary schedule and see no reason why they should help the prison staff. Being forced to do tasks by intimidating a prisoner either by pain or restriction is not the best way to operate a prison. Instead of a coercive type of power I would try rewarding prisoners that complied with me on a daily basis. Such rewards may be spending an extra hour out of their cell or allowing them to have extra educational or recreational time. Getting the prisoners to work with me and not making my job more complicated would be a major goal of mine if I was to be in this type of position.
