On January 7, 2016 at approximately 0420 hours, while passing breakfast trays in pod K, I opened room #45 from my touch screen computer for Inmate James Tate #14789 to come and receive his breakfast tray. While Tate was walking out of his room, he stopped at the table in front of his room and started talking to Inmate Peter Long #257415 about a tray that he owed him over a bet that they agreed on. At that time, I observed Tate strike Long in the chest area with a closed fist. At that time both inmates began to fight knocking over tables and chairs.

I then gave both inmates several verbal commands to stop fighting. They still continued to fight. At that time, I pulled out my agency issued OC spray and sprayed both inmates with one two

    The structure of a society is essential in distinguishing the norms and values that will undergo in that environment. Mike Rolland’s book, “Descent into Madness: An Inmate’s Experience of the New Mexico State Prison Riot,” includes the account of inmates and correctional officers that were involved in the 1980 riot at the New Mexico Penitentiary (PNM) and the events that led to such violence. Mark Colvin, a sociology professor in the Department of Justice Studies at Kent State University, was hired as a part of a team who investigated witnesses about the event. Prison riots often involve violence taken against the officers and sheriffs; however, the incident of 1980 at the PNM had a significant amount of deaths, all of which were between inmates and not officers. Colvin’s investigated the history and social…

    Report on the Stanford Prison Experiment for PSYC 1111 The Office of Naval Research sponsored a study at Stanford University to "develop a better understanding of the basic psychological mechanisms underlying human aggression" and to identify which conditions can lead to aggression when men are living in close quarters for a long period of time (Haney, C., Banks, W.C. & Zimbardo, P.G. (1973)). This experiment took form within a model prison created in the basement at Stanford University to discover the variables found in prisons that can lead to aggression in people, i.e. guards and prisoners. The hypothesis explored was that ‘guards’ and ‘prisoners’ would react in different ways and their behavior and state of being would differ from each…

    Probation Observation

    I enjoy reading your post. I agree with you if a probation violation is discovered and reported, it is likely that the court will conduct a probation revocation hearing. If the defendant violated probation by breaking a law, the probation revocation hearing will probably take place after the new offense has been disposed of. If the violation was not a new criminal offense but nevertheless broke a condition of probation (for instance, socializing with people the judge prohibited the defendant from contacting), then the revocation hearing may take place as soon as practicable after the violation is reported. Defendants are entitled to written notification of the time, place, and reason for the probation revocation hearing.…

    I definitely think inmate should have all protection under the First Amendement; because they are still human. They have a right to speak what they feel, and praise their own religion, or no religion. It should be there choice when it comes down to religion, because everyone doesn't believe in the same thing when it comes down to religion. I see nothing wrong if inmates want to have bible study on days that they all can do it, or make a praying circle with a group. It is a great thing, because it keeps some people focused while doing there time.…
