Contraband In Prison

Contraband cell phones in prisons make guards and warden's jobs much more challenging. Inmates can intimidate witnesses, arrange for crimes to be committed in the prison or continue their illegal activities from the comfort of their cell. While guards search for and confiscate illegal cell phones, it would be so much easier if prisoners didn't bother having phones smuggled in, which would happen if the cell phones did not work inside jails and prisons.

Fortunately, Securus Technologies just installed another of its Wireless Containment Solution (WCS), which prevent's inmates cell phones from connecting to a network, rendering them useless. Securus develops a wide range of technology solutions for the corrections and law enforcement industries,

    The Bluff: The Drug Paraphernalia Law

    An interesting and thought-provoking section of the documentary is the programs that are in the communities who susceptible to drug use. The “Bluff” needle exchange program was a program that helped advocate aids and promoted a more hygienic approach to drug use. In turn, this helped combat the transmissions of HIV. Because the Drug Paraphernalia Law made it illegal for people to carry needles, it caused people to turn to shooting galleries instead. Instead of the law combating the use of drugs, the sharing of needles caused an increase in the spread of the disease.…

Further investigation determined that the liquid was drostanolone propionate, an anabolic/androgenic steroid, which was confirmed by the CID laboratory. The DA 4833 states that the SM recieved an Art. 15, but did not specify as to the SM's punishment. Upon further review of the SM's file no Art. 15 is currently on record in his OMPF.…

    Pros And Cons Of Securus Technologies

    Since Securus Technologies, a leading inmate communications provider, signed a licensing agreement with JLG Technologies, they are able to offer their correction agency customers the latest Investigator Pro 4.0 technology. With Investigator Pro, investigators can take a voice sample from an inmate or the party the inmate called, and then use the sample to find other calls where the same person is speaking. Unfortunately, some incarcerated men and women want to continue with their criminal activities once they are behind bars, and the easiest way to keep committing crimes is to get help from someone on the outside. Criminal investigators don't have time to listen to every phone call, especially since most calls are just innocent communications between family members.…

    Prison Gangs Effect On Prison

    Effect of prison Gangs on the Prisons For members of a prison gang, the family is what matters. These gangs, usually made up of persons of the same race, with members moving in and out of the prison system as a way of life, with a sense of normalcy where the norms on the streets are the same on the inside. These gang members show little regard for the convict code because they feel better protected by the members of their gang, sworn their brothers’ keeper (blood in, Blood out). According to research some prison gangs control the prison system by intimidation and befriending the institutional staff in order to manipulate them to do their bidding.…

    Pros And Cons Of Solitary Confinement

    Prisons around the U.S. have recently increased security, as it may possibly replace solitary confinement, this is a preposterous idea since there are far more prisoners than there are guards. To start with, increasing security would be ineffective due to the fact that prisoners will effortlessly overthrow security guards. In fact, “Inmates reportedly overpowered an officer and took control of one side of the dorm, holding the officer for nearly an hour and a half.” (wach.com) Furthermore, increasing security guards in prisons as an alternative to solitary is vain. To sum up, expanding security in prisons is utterly pointless.…

JPay will continue to operate as it always has, while drawing on the resources and reach of Securus. I never thought about inmates having email before, however, it's an ideal way for children to keep in touch with an incarcerated parent without subjecting then to a prison visit. They can email mom or dad just like their friends use email to keep in touch with parents who are away on a business trip.

    Crime In Prison

    Americans today live in a country overflowing with more prisoners than ever, yet crime has been dropping since the late twentieth century. In fact, from 1980 to 2008, the number of people incarcerated in America quadrupled from about 500,000 to 2.3 million people (Criminal 1). There are several factors contributing to this problem. In recent years, America has taken new approaches to crime, such as the “War On Drugs” and the “Three Strikes” law. These approaches have drastically increased the prison population, to the point that 1 in 31 adults, or 3.2% of the population, will spend some time in prison in their lifetime (ibid).…

    Narcotic Ethics In Prison

    Correctional officers should not accept anything from the inmates, therefore, I would report the incident. Whether or not the exchanges are reciprocal is not for me to decide. Based on appearances alone, such a transaction from inmate to correctional officer is being watched and evaluated by peers and inmates alike. Such exchanges gives the appearance of impropriety in several directions from jailer to inmate to trustee and fellow officers. In addition, it is a safety issue, what if the candy or snacks were laced with something like a narcotic or poison, the narcotic could ruin the jailers career and a poison could mean death.…

    Prepaid Money Made By Inmates

    Inmates are being used everyday in a chance to make money. The one thing that inmates are able to use in the prisons are the phones. Thousands of dollars are being made by inmates just by using the phones alone. To make a call there is a fee of around $1.25 and .25 cents of every minute used. According to Boraas (2014) the Lawrenceville prison in Virgina generated $352,000 and that was off prepaid cards alone.…

    Use Of Color In Prison

    I never thought of using color in the prison system as a calming mechanism but it does makes perfect sense. Different colors elicit different emotions, and if calm can be achieved through the use of color than I feel it is something we need to investigate. While I know that inmates are in prison for a reason, I do believe prison officials and social scientist need to investigate different avenues to deescalating aggression. Inmates are locked in tight quarters with people all around. They are not given the opportunity of a ‘private’ space if they feel the need to be alone.…

    Drug Court Observation

    Today I sat in on “Drug Court” which was very interesting and not what I expected at all. I sat in on an adult session of drug court which I thought would be like the probation violations hearing I previously went to where the defendant and the judge would talk about criminal history, but it was very different than that. Drug court is actually more of conversation between the judge and the defendant. They discuss sobriety and things that have been going on their lives since they have become sober. Everything is off the record in the conversation which makes it seem like a casual discussion.…
