Inmates are divided up into different housing units depending on the amount of points they acquire; inmates are assigned points based on the crimes they have committed as well as their behavior inside of the jail. When an individual arrives at the jail, they are required to wear an orange jumpsuit. If an individual is held in holding for over 48 hours, they are processed into the jail by Officer David Kane. After being processed, inmates are assigned different uniform colors based on their level of security: orange jumpsuits represent inmates in medium security; orange and white striped jumpsuits represent inmates in maximum security; inmates in blue and white uniforms represent inmates who are trustees; inmates in blue uniforms represent those in the work force. If an inmate requires medical assistance, they can send a request form to the medical unit, and depending in the severity of their issue they will either be seen right away or put in line.

John Dower's War without Mercy describes the ugly racial issues, on both the Western Allies and Japanese sides of the conflict in the Pacific Theater as well as all of Asia before during and after World War II and the consequences of these issues on both military and reconstruction policy in the Pacific. In the United States as well as Great Britain, Dower dose a good job of proving that, "the Japanese were more hated than the Germans before as well as after Pearl Harbor." (8) On this issue, there was no dispute among contemporary observers including the respected scholars and writers as well as the media. During World War II the Japanese are perceived as a race apart, a species apart referred to as apes, but at

You hear sirens after the man hits the floor in agony. When the police find you in the room, holding a gun and a man laying on the floor they are proud of what you did, calling you brave, and commending you on protecting your sister. You are aghast at what has

The new prisoner is then admitted into their “pod”. Rather than keep ALL the inmates together in one large group, they are broken down into smaller groups. Each group lives in their own pod. Each pod had a central living space and outside fresh air lounge. The individual cells surround the living area and there are three additional floors that overlook the central living space that you reach by inside stairs. Each level contains approximately 10 individual cells. Some information was not available to us (the public) as it is confidential. Information such as how many Officers work in a pod per shift. The inmates are served their meals in the central living space and it the Correctional Officers job to count everything they take. Items such as jam containers, plastic knives and forks are made into weapons by the ingenious inmates. After they are given their meals and have had time to go to the gym, they are then put back into their cell for the night.

While here the person may use the inmate phone system to place free local or collect long-distance telephone calls, use the restroom, get a drink or water or watch television. If a person is too intoxicated to safely sit in the waiting area, correctional staff will move them to a detoxification cell. When the person is sober enough to safely sit in the waiting area, they will be removed from the detoxification cell. After the person's information has been completely entered into the computer system, they proceed to the photograph and fingerprinting portion of the booking process. The person is first photographed using a digital camera system and then fingerprinted using a laser fingerprinting computer system. Using a computer based fingerprinting system allows us to digitally transmit the fingerprints to the California Department of Justice for comparison with their database of fingerprints. If the person is going to be housed in the facility, they will be taken to a changing room by correctional staff once the photograph and fingerprinting portion is complete. They will be offered a chance to take a shower and provided with a set of jail issued clothes to wear. Their personal clothing will be placed into property storage with rest of their belongings. After they are dressed they will be given an issue of bedding and have a wristband placed

In the midst of the conversation we were having, he stopped talking abruptly. I looked around noticing the Master was approaching angrily with a switch. What have I done wrong? Had he been calling for me? He approached me and aggressively began lashing me with the switch. He threw a multitude of questions at me he was almost unintelligible. “Where have you been? What are you doing out here with the likings of him?” He had been drinking of course and here I was to receive the bad end of it. He turned over to the outside slave and began lashing him with more force than he had with me. I made the decision of getting in between them to hinder the amount of pain inflicted on the outside slave, being that this was my fault. Clearly to the dismay of the Master. He had become more furious with me. He grabbed me by the sleeve of my dress, dragging me towards the one of the slave houses. Noticing the familiarity of the situation I had gone blank. I conjectured he’d force himself onto me as he usually would do but he went past the slave houses into a field.No longer being able to recognize what he’d do I began to panic. Nearby was a tree and rope. He stripped me bare, tied me to the tree and began lashing me with the rope. I counted…1, 2.. Until I found myself unusually dizzy. Was I going to die? I thought I’d never find myself here, nor did I think this could

turning my head again I saw Simon dive to my aid. He did not utter a

John Dower's War Without Mercy talks about the racial conflict in War World II towards the Japanese and how it affected the war and the reconstruction of the Pacific. “The Japanese were more hated than the Germans before as well as after Pearl Harbor. On this, there was no dispute among contemporary observers. They were perceived as a race apart, even a species apart -- and an overpoweringly monolithic one at that. There was no Japanese counterpart to the 'good German' in the popular consciousness of the Western Allies." (8) Mostly he focused on the American atrocities than the Japanese atrocities during the Pacific war.

each morning, they are ordered to step outside their cell, and stand there while their cells are inspected. They then march down to eat breakfast together as a group. There are two scenes in the film where these rules and regulations are violated. The first violation was when Andy received his first shipment of supplies for his new library, and he locks himself in the Warden's office, and played one of the songs he receive from the shipment so every inmate in the prison could hear it. Consequently, Andy was punished for disturbing the serenity of the prison and was sent to the solitary confinement, or as the inmates call it the hole.

Since this is basically a form of torture, only the worst criminals are sent there. My best friends father walks up to me with tears in his eyes. I watch him ball up his fists. He punches me and knocks me unconscious. When I wake up I am on a bus to the prison.

It can be hard to fully comprehend the effects the Vietnam War had on not just the veterans, but the nation as a whole. The violent battles and acts of war became all too common during the long years of the conflict. The war warped the soldiers and civilians characters and desensitized their mentalities to the cruelty seen on the battlefield. Bao Ninh and Tim O’Brien, both veterans of the war, narrate their experiences of the war and use the loss of love as a metaphor for the detrimental effects of the years of fighting.

The Experience Of War Many authors have written about war themes, some extracts of the stories and poems that I have read and researched are The Upturned Face by Steven Crane .It is about a fictional war being fought in an imaginary Europe. Homage to Catalonia by George Orwell describes his senses and feeling of getting shot in the neck during battle. Exposure by Wilfred Owen,describes the horrors and reality of being in the trenches of the First World War. And The Making of Me by Robert Westall is about a shell-shocked grandfather who has the responsibility of looking after his grandchild.

War has been a part of human culture since it's birth. It has led to a great many massacres and has shown us the evil that exists within the souls of humanity. Some have even gone as far as saying that war is human nature. To better understand the reasons behind war and how it affects others, I've examined several different societies and cultures so as to better understand the necessity of war and see the cause of their external war attitude. To do so, different variables from two topics (military institutions and external war attitude) were matched up and crossed so as to look into the answers to these questions. The variables were then calculated and through these graphs, I was able to find different societies in which
