Relationship Between Prison And Prison

Synopsis The use of private prison has been a serious issue in the United States. The main issue is the amount of money that private prison companies are consuming. The private prisons are making millions of dollars from housing inmates. Between 1970 and 2005 the U.S. population has grown by 700 percent (Private prison, 2013). This massive increase in the U.S. prison population is far outpacing the population and crime rate. Due to this, America has the biggest prison rate than any other country

This statement, that rule enforcement is the core focus of the prison officers job, is underestimating the challenges and risks that come with being a prison officer. Research shows that there is more pressure on the officers than to just administer the rules, they are dealing with human beings who have a range of emotional and daily challenges they must overcome in prison. A prison officer has daily contact with these prisoners which is why rules cannot be fully implemented, all the time. “…guard

lot of different thoughts about pregnant inmates, the experience of having a child while incarcerated and where said child ends up. This question ultimately led me to look into prison nurseries. There are currently only 9 states in the US that have a program that resemble a prison nursery, before the 1970’s most female prison facilities provided a form of nursery program for female inmates who gave birth while incarcerated. This topic brings about very strong emotions and firm ideals. A research paper

different idea about what goes on behind the grey, dismal walls of prison. For many of us, the idea itself conjures images of coiled barbed wire fences, chains dragging across the ground, somber faces behind rusting bars and those bright orange jumpsuits. These visions come from a variety of sources-- movies we’ve seen, the stories that we’ve been told and our own imagination that is constantly at work. However, the reality of prison life in America can only come from those who have stepped foot inside

In “The Stanford Prison Experiment” by Philip G. Zimbardo, Zimbardo conducts an experiment to test the human ability to resist authority and the control of social pressures. In order to do this, Zimbardo sets up an experiment that tests the relationship between prisoners and guards within a prison and then relates his results to authoritative relationships in everyday lives outside of prisons. Zimbardo is showing how when humans in the real world are exposed to authoritative power like the guards

series created by Jenji Kohan. The show is set in a women’s federal prison in Litchfield, New York. The story is set on a woman, Piper Chapman, who is sentenced to 15 months in prison for transporting a suitcase of drug money to her former girlfriend Alex Vause, who is an international drug smuggler. This offense happened 10 years preceding the start of the series, although occurring in flashbacks. Before being sentenced to prison time, Chapman lived as a moral, law-abiding citizen in a quiet portion

relations among inmates as a way to attract viewers. (Schwan) Orange Is the New Black neglects to explore emotional attachment beyond a need to fulfill sexual needs and minimize loneliness while in prison. Bisexual female characters, if given the opportunity, often leave their female partner for a relationship with a male, downgrading the realism of an actual bisexual lifestyle. Although lesbian activity is presented throughout, only women with this body type are presented in a highly sexualized male

Some states are facing severe budget cuts due to economic struggles and drops in tax revenues; therefore, not all prison facilities in the United States could offer rehabilitation, education, mental health services, and sanitary cells for convicted offenders. Clear et al. (2013) states, “Women correctional facilities are

Results Although Zimbardo intended for the Stanford Prison Experiment to last for two weeks, the experiment was terminated after six days due to the dark and corrupt nature that came forth from within the prison guards. (The Study, 2008). As days passed in the experiment, prisoners began to experience demoralizing and humiliating punishments from the guards; this is, in turn, caused many of the prisoners to develop forms of mental and physical distress. (Shuttermouth, 2008). On the second day of
