Prison Reflection

In the first prison which was Cummings the security system was my overall impression for me. At Wrightsville the furniture was my overall because the way the inmates built and working hard to produce the best furniture. In the Washington prison my overall was the when the security system where so organized. The way the officers talk to us and explained. Voner the most overall impression was when we was able to see the inmates that where on dead road and to see how the live before the get executed. The impact for all the prison was kind of the same because I was imaging the prison to look like what I see on TV but its way different now when you visit. In Wrightsville was when you have to walk through the inmates where they sleep and takes showers. I was totally shock because it was my finish time going to a medium prison and I had no idea it would be like that. Whereas in the Cumming the dead road area was my biggest impact because not looking at the TV and see for myself how the area is set up and being in the room …show more content…
The security guards told us to make sure we took out our shoes and each and everything from our pants pockets. In Cummings the where security guards outside by the entrance where the cars enter taking the drivers name and ID checks. However in the rest of prisons there were no security checks by the gates. Cummings also had more security than the rest of prisons. But at Wrightsville was very strict about the clothing you have on and one of my classmate had to change his pants because no camo wasn’t aloud. In all the prison there were the scanning machine that you had to stand up and put your hand above your head. Voner prison was the funniest to me because they just make us walk in the prison without checking us. The guards just took us into the prison, we could have brought stuff into the prison and it would have been there

    I wonder how hard it really to go prison is. In a world we live in today many Americans are in over their head in debt. When you go to prison you have nothing to worry about except for possibly getting your butt handed to you. Facilities seem to not be that too terrible of place to stay in.…

    The Heartland Criminal Justice class travelled to the Wabash County Jail [WCJ] and the Huntington County Jail [HCJ]. Both jails are equally as important, but there are many similarities and differences between the two jails. A few of the differences included how many inmates each jail could hold, the garage sizes and uses, and the jobs that the trustees were given. An important similarity to note about both jails was the fact that both were overpopulated. However, one was overpopulated by a few, while the other was overpopulated by a lot.…

    From 1864 to 1865 Andersonville, GA was the site of a huge military prison for the confederacy. It was officially called Camp Sumter and was highly known for its horrible conditions and high death rate. In History.com’s article “Andersonville” it says, “In all, approximately 13,000 Union prisoners perished at Andersonville, and following the war its commander, Captain Henry Wirz (1823-65), was tried, convicted and executed for war crimes.” This camp was highly feared and the conditions in which the prisoners were held were definitely horrible to say the least. It was not a place you wanted to be at all.…

    This facility was very well maintained and the respect was thrown out quite often through the tour. You do see how their is more of a standard these inmates are held at espically the trustee's. The tv either over dramatizes or fails to deliver what goes on and lacks the back story of the facility. The PCJ is acredited which also helps what we saw as "nicer" than what we see on…

    We walked over to the new jail that is currently used and met with the chief deputy who took us on our tour. Unlike the HCJ, we were able to see where families come and talk to their loved ones through a telephone and a window, the kitchen, the suicide rooms, the drunk tank, and my personal favorite, the cell blocks. We were able to go past a cell block where inmates were currently in and see how their living conditions were and what all they were able to do in their confined area. I enjoyed the basement of the jail where inmates are on work release. They are allowed to leave to go to work but then have to come back right away.…

    Prison, as described, by Stanley is not a place where anyone wants to be (Williams, 9). Inmates in the main prison eat breakfast and dinner in a large cafeteria, for lunch all inmates are given brown paper bag lunches, eaten in their cells or on the exercise yard. Death row inmates do not leave their cells for meals, they are given their food through a slot in their door (Williams, 25). There is no privacy in prison. Each time a prisoner leaves his cell to go to another part of the prison, he is handcuffed and strip searched (Williams, 49).…

    Some exercise pens are outside but others are just a little room inside. This means many prisoners don’t see day light the whole time they are in confinement. They are not allowed to converse with others. They eat their meals alone in their rooms. Absolutely no one to talk with except letters, they receive in the mail.…

    I accepted and spent most of a single day walking through the prison unit. Of all the sights I saw and sounds I heard, the one feature of my tour that gave me the creeps occurred in the "administrative segregation" wing of the massive prison complex. I was invited to step into a cell. I did. Then the door closed behind me.…

    Inside of correctional facilities across the world are individuals who continuously break the rules, who cannot seem to conform to societies norms or laws. Unfortunately, some of those same individuals continue to break rules while incarcerated, and what more punishment could there be than losing one’s freedom? Well for some, minor punishments can be administered in the form of being locked in their cell for a specific time, missing some of their recreation periods, or not being allowed visits. But when it comes to the more serious actions, for example staff assaults, there are far more serious consequences. One of these consequences is being placed in an isolation unit with minimal to no human interaction, a bed, a toilet, a sink, and one’s own thoughts.…

    Not one person or offenders included, expects prison to be a paradise . Upon prison, all inmates must face the mental and physical challenge of adjusting to prison, and some fail or just barely pass the test. The ones that fail are usually the ones that die in prison by being assaulted or taking one’s life due to the fact that they can’t take the prison anymore and the ones that pass are usually the ones that move up on top of the food chain. For example the gang leaders in the prison and even those who join gangs just to feel protected. Including the ones that are close to the prison guards that pay them off to gain special privileges.…
