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.

Stand at attention in rain and snow forbidden to talk or move, some prisoners have been known to drop dead right there from sickness, fatigue or malnourishment. The days in camp are filled with exhausting work, little food and water and a chance of being beaten or killed for just about any reason.

The prisoners needed the proper facilities in order to prepare their cases and request appearances before the judge. Issue(s); Is it the state's responsibility to provide law libraries and/or legal assistance to prisoners to prepare their cases? Is this a Federal Constitutional issue and/or a state issue?
These official visits come about in the death watch vicinity or a special visitation room, and are brought to an end sometime for the duration of that last day. In the last few hours, quite a lot of events take place in the arrangement for the execution. These events include: the last meal where the Penitentiaries try to make available whatever meal the convicted prisoner requests.

The guards became abusive and the prisoners began experiencing stress and anxiety. The guards and prisoners were never instructed in how to behave and were left with that freedom.

Recidivism is a big problem I this country, too many inmates return back to prison after being released. Many citizens are affected by this as well as the x-convicts and their families. Many children of convicts grow up without their father and could end up in prison themselves. It seems that these x-inmates have no chance to be reformed. This problem exists because there are not enough programs to help inmates be reformed and the little programs that are available they are implemented only after the inmate is released and not in the prison itself.
