Unfortunately, it is very common for prisoners to have lost everything when they have been released for example their family, friends, job and their housing. Other prisoners may be good role models for prisoners who are finding it hard to fit into the lifestyle of being in prison. There are certain schemes that prisoners can go through to try and fit into the lifestyle of a prisoner, I will be talking about this later in this report. To have a positive relationship with friends and family is extremely important in a custody environment. Prisoners are able to have visits, but visits are supervised by staff and this could be stressful for prisoners and also visitors.
They felt that it is better to do nothing, except what the guards told them. They didn’t want, act, or feel anything so they wouldn’t get in trouble. Guards, on the other hand, assumed authority roles to control the prisoners and keep the prison in order. With this loss of normal relationships entailing personal and social connections between everyone included in the experiment, they lost respect for one another. There are some reasons that people voluntarily become prisoners.
Other forms include community service and house arrest (Foster, 2006). Community Corrections When a person is involved with a form of community corrections, he or she, are under supervision by an appointed corrections professional. Community corrections, requires a person to stay out of trouble, such as not having any negative police contact or the use of any alcohol or drugs (Fosters, 2006). Community corrections offer an offender the chance to serve his or her sentencing, for his or her punishment, in his or her home, or in a different form of facility than that of a jail, or prison. Affect on society Community corrections affect society because some people do not feel safe knowing that there is a criminal out and about with the freedom to do whatever, he or she pleases.
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? What issues affect state versus federal prisoners?
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.
Why is the use of exclusive coercive power an ineffective and impractical method of operating a prison? What tactics would you employ instead? Why? The use of coercive power in prisons is ineffective because some prisoners see no reasons why they should have to comply with what prison staff may want them to do. 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.
Privacy for the individuals who are in these facilities has many concerns to keens that are searching in from the outside. Health problems and concerns for prisoners and disregard that happens in correctional facilities have been worries that press on to go unnoticed. The state appears to under staff in a few territories of administering prisoner's health issues. There are numerous who might go unattended of their health issues creating radical or even death in the process. A jail framework redesign yearly would serve to secure detainees and their health issues.
Now most would not think this would be a form of torture, but it brings about great results. After being left alone in a cell for a number of days, prisoners become increasingly stressed and agitated about their situation, making them ready to cry out their confession. The next forms of interrogation that are used are the slap and grab techniques. These do not seem like very effective methods, but they scare prisoners and bring about the desired results. Under these slap and grab techniques extreme physical violence against prisoners and ‘torture’ are deemed illegal under national and international law, including the Geneva Convention, less physical techniques are often used by interrogators.
The physical and psychological impact of prison is far more likely to have a serious and negative impact than a similar sentence would have on an adult prisoner. Juveniles should never be in prison with adults because not only they are more likely to be corrupted by the prison environment, but there is also the persistent danger of abuse including sexual abuse and health risks. ‘The greatest danger is physical and sexual assault by adults housed in the same facility, including inmate trustees who may have access to juveniles in ‘separate’ quarters in jail.’ (Clement 395). Juvenile delinquents need help and a direction in life should be given to them. Placing them in adult prison subjects them to violence and exploitation, and deprives them of the chance to start their new lives.
The corrections are the component of the criminal justice system which is in charge of the supervision of individuals within the criminal justice system, i.e., suspects and convicted offenders. Included in the corrections are the probation, parole, community corrections and incarceration. Jails and prisons serve the purpose of housing the offenders. They are both places of incarceration for men or women. In other words, it is a place where one should not be in.
