YKCC Prisons: A Case Study

The Visiting Dividing Plexiglass is Terminally Damaged as to lead a great Risk of a YKCC Escape.

At approximately 1850 hours, Officer Smith notified me that the plexiglass is cracked to a degree that an Inmate or Visitor may complete the break and facilitate an escape through the broken window.

Current Risk Assessment:

How Likely is it to Happen? Strictly applying the recent historical behavior of the YKCC inmates, the breaking of the existing visiting plexiglass is probable; the inmates who orchestrated an escape out of “G” Dorm; the damage to “H” Dorm pipe access; WD1 damage to the bathroom area; “B” Max and “G” Dorm windows; and the loss of maintenance cutting razors; all present the probable likelihood of breaking the plexiglass.

    Throughout their sentence, prison inmates endured miserable life before and during the Prison Reform Movement of 1800’s, unlivable conditions, and physical abuse from the guards. “Men rarely become spiritually better by being made subject, through human discipline, to extreme bodily discomforts; these convicts are not made morally better by such treatment as they are subjected to here in the days of bodily weakness and pain” (Lightner 56).

When prisons first formed, people weren’t exactly sure how they should go…

    For most people if you approach them and ask them if they would intentionally harm someone they would respond with the logical response which would be no, of course not. The majority of college students would also respond the exact same way, well what if you actually put it to the test and isolate them in a group with others and are told not to cause any physical and or mental health to the individuals. Would they obey these orders? Or would they see how far they can take things before they are caught or told not to? With Zimbardo’s Stanford experiment we can see first-hand how a group of men with said power behave.…

    Our prison systems in the United States seem to be under constant scrutiny and debate in some form or fashion. One specific topic that has been under quite a bit of heat is the discussion of solitary confinement. While many other countries have pulled the plug on this practice, American prison systems seem to be exploding in the opposite direction, increasing the number of inmates we maintain in solitary confinement at an alarming rate. This certainly leads to a rabbit hole of questions, but as we peer deeper into this form of imprisonment and break apart its layers, we can come to more educated opinions on whether or not solitary confinement is necessary, if change is needed, or if we should consider abolishing the practice as a whole.…
