Why I Want To Be In Prison

I sat in a small, dirty and crowded holding cell in Fort Bend County jail. Sitting here waiting to get processed and see the nurse, Mane! These men in this holding cell were all fucking trifling. There were cells for suicidal inmates, crazy inmates, murderers and those going through drug withdrawal. The smell of musty underarms, alcohol and feet made it unbearable to breath. It was time for me to live with the consequences of the choices I had made. The newest consequence was the foreboding environment of a small, overcrowded county jail.

Freedom and confinement is the third most important theme in the movie, the Shawshank Redemption. There are many aspects of the inmates talking about what freedom is like, and how they are confined to Shawshank prison for a long time. In Shawshank they quite literally cannot do anything they want, they have to ask for everything. This can be no better seen than when Captain Byron Hadley said, “You eat when we say you eat! You s*** when we say you s***! You p*** when we say you p***!” Not only is this line of thought present in a fictional prison, but also in real life. There are TV shows out there that follow the cops of real life prisons, and real life prisoners do not have much more freedom. Then again, all things considered, prisoners have some freedoms, mainly in what they do during their yard times. The people who have it the worst, the one’s who have it like the quote, are the people who live under complete dictatorships. They cannot do anything, and I mean anything without the consent of

Even though many bad things happen at lunch they don’t have to. If you are being bullied you should be surrounded by your friends for support. If you are given assigned seats and you're at table with bullies, you are forced to sit with people who harm you. Instead you should be able to be sitting with your friend and having a chance to move to a new place where you feel more comfortable. Assigned seats are not necessary in a school cafeteria.

Whenever you imagine prison, you think up ideas and violent images that you have seen in the movies or on TV.   Outdated clichés consisting of men eating stale bread and drinking dirty water are only a small fraction of the number of horrible, yet “just” occurrences which are stereotypical of everyday life in prison.   Perhaps it could be a combination of your upbringing, horrific ideas about the punishment which our nation inflicts on those who violate its’ more serious laws that keeps people frightened just enough to lead a law-abiding life. Despite it’s success in keeping dangerous offenders off the streets, the American prison system fails in fulfilling its original design of restoring criminals to being productive members of society, it is also extremely expensive and wastes our precious tax dollars.

"What is eliminated in prison is choice. What is encouraged is obedience. Bruno Bettelheim illustrated the result when he stated 'a prisoner had reached the final stage of adjustment to the camp situation when he had changed his personality so as to accept as his own the values of the Gestapo....Can one imagine a greater triumph for any system than this adoption of its values and behaviour by its powerless victims?' Until choice can be freely exercised and caring behaviour encouraged, there can be no meaningful change and the 'rehabilitation' of 'criminals' will only be a system's triumph over the values and behaviour of the powerless in our society." (Knopp, Boward, Morris, Schnapper, 1976 p9)

If they keep doing what they are doing then you tell the principal or call someone for help. When getting bullied you should always try and stand up for yourself in any situation. Try and stand up for yourself when being bullied then you put some sense in their head and try and make them stop

A group of seven juvenile delinquents sit at a table sporting jumpsuits that’s draped over their street clothes, not knowing what’s expected to happen next during their jail visit at the Douglas County prison in Georgia. The cameras, that are rolling for Beyond Scared Straight, a reality television series that takes at risk teenagers to different state run prisons across the United States to give them a glance of where they 'll end up if they continue making wrong choices, show the confused look on the delinquents’ faces when they see the next prisoner walking through the door. Instead of a pair of six foot, 300 pounder monsters that were charged for two counts of aggravated assault and attempted murder like some of the inmates that the

I totally agree with you that money is not being managed efficiently or effectively when dealing with the issue at hand. It's pretty crazy to see the amount spent, specially how here in CA, the prison system takes precedence over education. It's kind of hard to wrap your head around that one. Specially when what we are doing isn't really making a positive change.

How can I be in prison? These questions cause my head to become cloudy as I look at the room ahead of me. It appears to be a living room; there’s a TV and a small, gray sofa in the back corner next to the window, and rustic tables are standing neatly in the middle. One man, at the table closest to me, is smiling with a tooth pick in the corner of his mouth as he prepares for a new game of poker. The crisp sound of cards being shuffled

The number of prison cells should not be determined on premature kids’ reading levels. Years ago, the government did not have enough prison cells to put the prisoners in so they moved them to different states. They were getting tired of moving them around different states so they decided to make a plan to predict the number of prison cells months in advance so they would not come across this problem. They believed that third and fourth graders who have below average reading levels are most likely to end up in prison. You could argue that if kids know about the school to prison pipeline at a younger age, during 3rd and 4th grade, you would think that they would try harder to read and clean up their act into reading, but why would you want to

Based off of Ben’s past and the crimes he committed there are some obvious steps that I would take with his probation to ensure he is successful and will never see the inside of a cell again. I believe the first step, and the most crucial one, is getting him into vocational training. Without a job or money, he will be desperate to survive and might turn towards illegal activity. We know that he has experience in the construction field but giving him a trade that can help him get hired and make more money would be great for him. According to an article written by Christopher Zoukis (2015), Up to 89% of people who return to prison are unemployed. It is later on discussed in the same article that giving the inmates a trade will ensure them a chance to earn a much better wage (Zoukis, 2015). As we have learned from the prompt, Ben had a hard time making ends meet and by teaching him valuable trade you can almost guarantee this will no longer be the case.

Minimal sentence of 30 year with out parole, after 15 years of you shall be beaten with a cat of nine tails 30 lashes to match your sentence. We turn back the hand of time and the jail will only server you bread and water and you will get your rations every Sunday that should last you the week. Two months before you are set to be release from jail we remove your private. (because you used it for evil you shall not have it going forward.) Thus cutting down on you being a repeat offender.

Based on this vital information does this bring us to the conclusion that women are simply becoming more violent and bolder as time passes by even to the point that they surpass that of men? Surely I am of the view that women did not spontaneously decide to turn to a way of crime, as a matter of fact the majority of women in prison have experienced some form of physical or sexual abuse both related and unrelated to men.

Prisons are a violent, dangerous and hospitable place for any person. A significant amount of academic research and literature exists on the underlying causes of prison tension, violence and misbehaviour within the prison system. Pre 1950 violent outbreaks in the where a largely rare occurrence. Post 1950 violence and riots become a more common occurrence within the prison system. Literature around this issue suggests three main theories of approach when examining the fundamental causes of prison riots. Being: Deprivation, Importation and Situational models. Each model examines different factors contributing to deviance within the prison system and offers an explanation as to why riots might occur. By examining each in detail we can contrast these models with the infamous Mt Eden prison riot of 1965, we can draw conclusions as to the contributing factors of the riot in regards to the general conditions of the prison for prisoners and how the prison was organised and run.

Imagine a criminal getting away with a crime because there's not enough room in jail.
