States prison system, mental health problems among prisoners are somewhat high. Some like to think that prisons are now becoming institutions for those with mental health problems. Hearing these statements and thoughts from others makes many feel that people need all the help they can get with such a strong disability, not to be thrown away and locked up in prison. The next few paragraphs and pages are going to be a brief investigation of the mental health problems among those in prison.…

School Vs. Prison Genre Although some people may argue the fact that prison and school films are unrelated in every way, I am here to argue the fact that these two genres are similar in many ways that some might not be able to point out for themselves. I am going to use three different critical articles as well as three different movies to explain my reasoning. I feel as though the significance of comparing these two genres is very important because it gives additional meaning to some aspects of…

Due to the seemingly inherent levels of corruption in American prisons, creating an ideal prison free from any flaws would be an ambitious undertaking. From dehumanizing practices such as solitary confinement to regular correctional officer and inmate abuse, deep issues buried behind concrete walls would need to be uprooted. However, the prison system in Norway gives incarceration an entirely new meaning and redefines our perception of jail. With inmates living seemingly normal lives in a…

Whilst Norway is a particularly wealthy country, the reflection of wealth is implemented in the design and programs offered in Halden Prison in Norway. The Nordic approach to social philosophy accentuates enforcing and reinforcing moral norms, which prevents individuals from committing a crime. As a result, people in Norwegian countries generally would rather follow the moral norms than commit a criminal offense (Hinkkanen & Lappi-Seppala 2011). In the last 30 years, Norway has become one of the…

Prison Overcrowding has been an issue for many years in the United States but a good solution has never been put into action. The reason that prisons are overcrowded is because there are a high rate of criminals and the Criminal Justice system has not developed a plan to reduce the crime rate. As a result of prisons overcrowding inmates do not feel safe in the prison. Prison overcrowding can cause fights, diseases and mental illnesses. It can cause fights because there are too many inmates in…

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…

instill fear upon the criminals. With so many people incarcerated, prison populations have soared to a point where most US prisons are no longer capable of handling the increase. This surge has prompted prison officials to feel the need to show their power over the prisoners.One of the ways they show their power is through the “solitary confinement” or solitary confinement. Solitary confinement according to John Podemore,…

inmates were returning to their cell house from the recreational yard. The inmates were armed with shanks. Inmates brutally attacked officers inside the cell house. The prison warden and officer, think that the riot was started by prison gangs, directed the attack to Warden Thaddeus Pinkey. Prisoners set buildings on fire, which also caused that many other inmates to get involved in the riot as well. Hours passed, the officers gathered all the inmates back into their cells. Lieutenant, William…

sentenced to jail time are kept together in a separate building and are sentenced to be released in less than 365 days. Conditions of jail are similar to that of a prison, but there are not convicted felons being…

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,…
