622). In this correctional institution, the nurses ensure that the prescribed medications are taken at the clinic to ensure that inmates don’t illegally sell the prescribed medication to other inmates. In addition, the nurses stores the medical supplies that can be a safety threat to the environment in a safe area, so the inmates has no access to them. In addition, Nies and McEwen (2015) has stated that “the nurses must maintain an escape route to use if a situation of personal violence is imminent” (p. 622). When the nurses are providing care to the inmates, the door were never closed to ensure that there is an escape route. Also, there is a correctional officer sitting right at the entrance to maintain security within the health care clinic and oversee the safety of the health care providers and

Learning about the county jail was an interesting experience. Amongst all the sight seeking, I realized there was several departments within the jail itself. The different departments are called the booking department, incident reports, and finger printing department.

The overcrowding prison reflects that the inmate population has grown much faster than the funding for prisons, which is controlled at the state level. In most cases, state funding has not come close to keeping up with the rise in the prison population, leading to decrepit prison infrastructure that is wholly inadequate for housing such large numbers of inmates. Without capacity to house inmates properly, some prisons have resorted to having prisoners sleep in gymnasiums, and many have overcrowded cells to accommodate the extra bodies. This overcrowding has led to deteriorating cleanliness of prisons and declining safety. Today, non-violent prisoners are forced to live in close quarters with violent ones, and the results are predictable.

It served as the county jail for almost a century, and housed criminals convicted for crimes or awaiting trails.

STEUBEN COUNTY (WENY) - For the second year in a row the Steuben County Jail is taking advantage of its courtyard by turning it into a giant garden. It's part of the county's inmate garden program. "It's therapeutic. It's very relaxing and it's a learning experience and helps you gain knowledge about planting and what you can and can't plant around here in the soils," explains Steuben County Jail inmate, Jeffrey Duell.

All County jails are designed to detain inmates. Wabash County Jail was built in 1979 and Miami County Jail was built in 2009, both jails have similarities and both have their differences; thing such as cell blocks, how jails control their inmates, and how jails allow family and friends to visit. These things are very important to the jailing process.

Being built in 1979, Wabash county jail has been through a lot. Being 36 years old the jail has encountered some problems. The Wabash Jail has had some flooding problems which leaked down to the basement ceilings. They do not have automatic doors and lights

In addition, safety and security are of major concern to this group. They expect prisoners to serve their time and not have the opportunity to escape their facilities. Criminals, particularly those in high-security prisons, are dangerous and unpredictable and escaping prisons and returning to society is a threat to the safety of society at

Jail booking personnel do not know from day to day the types of inmates who will be brought to the jail by local, federal, and state law enforcement agencies, be other correctional institutions such as juvenile centers, local jails, out of state jails, or federal or state prisons. The jail booking desk is the main entry point. There are miscellaneous types of offenders who also pass through the booking desk such as the witness who is being held in protective custody. Another type of offender is an inmate from the jail system who violates a rule of work release or home incarceration program, or a criminal statute that dictates that inmate’s removal from such programs pending further criminal action. Jails may hold inmates who are serious security

Correctional officers do not supervise has heavily in large or medium jails. Offenders can be placed where every there is an available space open. Not having the proper inmate classification can result in a high-risk of litigation. In a medium and large facility, where it becomes overcrowded at times and inmates need a cell to be placed in, the staff would use their best judgment on which cell will be best for the inmate. Inmates are classified by their appearance, history of violence in and outside the jail, how long they are being held in jail,

Supermax prisons house the inmates whose violent behavior makes them impossible to live with the normal general prisoners (Schmalleger & Smykla, 2015). While the typical measures invoice segregation and confinement the prisoners who are generally violent, have escaped or attempted to escape, incited other inmates to violence and preyed on other inmates are jailed in the supermax prisons that are specially designed for such prisoners. The construction of supermax prisons is more expensive due to an emphasis on high-security features. It is, therefore, obvious that these prisons are not made or designed for the non-violent and non-sexual offenders who have a better chance of rehabilitation in the normal prisons.

Effectiveness is the reduction in recidivism rates; more specifically, the reduction in the likelihood to be arrested for a new crime, or for committing a parole violation. Unlike research on the implementation of DRC’s, there is not a need for a more in depth look at the benefits of overcorwding jails and increasing incarceration costs. Costs, as mentioned earlier, are significantly more than the costs associated with the implementation of a DRC. In addition, the steady increase in occupants of the RHRJ has lead to contracting out of beds at other jail facilities due to the lack of space and reduction in offenders. A continuation of the status quo, housing offenders in the RHRJ until an additional facility with the
