Prison cell

Prisons are a place where people go to that feel the need to disobey the law. When they go to these places they are denied a lot of their rights/freedom. Prisons today vary from juvenile places to maximum security prisons. Each have their own rules, but most are very similar. Solitary confinement is a different story which is like maximum security. If a prisoner is in solitary they have little to no freedom. Prison ways are very strict and should be followed at all times. If not, there are big…

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.

At first, I honestly believed that we was not going to be handcuffed and forced to wear prison clothes. Stupidly, I thought we were just going to be held in the prison cells with our regular clothes. I also thought we were all going to be held in one huge cell together. I did not expect for the former three to happen and I thought we were going to stay in the same cell with the same individuals. Obviously, I was wrong. Even though the officers treated us initially like arrestees…

where every person agrees on something. There is people like Dorothea Dix didn't agree on the way that most prisons were being managed and how the people were being treated in those prisons. Instead of just saying she didn't agree she actually did try to do something about what was going on in the prisons. That's when the reforms come, the reform that Dorothea Dix was part of was the Prison and Asylum Reform. This is a very significant reform movement because it was important and helpful to the…

Our correction systems are costing the U.S $50 billion annually(Beyond the Prison Bubble), and for what? This is something that needs to be addressed, as the methods used in our correctional facilities are simply inefficient.

Therefore, I believe we should focus on rehabilitating our prisoners rather than consistently punishing them to release them with the skills…

Stephen Reid is a criminal; a stone cold gang member and bank robbing criminal. He is also a father, devoted husband, friend and a writer. For those of us who have never been on the inside, Reid tells a story in his book A Crowbar in the Buddhist Garden of how he was sentenced to many years in a maximum security prison and what life in prison is actually…

Today, schools are constantly noted that they resemble a prison in that both are meant to discipline and punish the students just like prisoners. People may believe such comparisons between schools and prisons is a wrong one since schools are teaching students and allowing them to achieve a bright future unlike prisons. The truth is both prisons and school have an immense power over their inhabitants, even without directly exercising it. Michel Foucault introduced an idea known as the…
