What was life in the prison like? Only few people can answer that question, but The Yuma Territorial Prison was not only a prison, it also had other activities which the prisoners could get involved in so they would not spend all day locked in a cell. For example a very important part of the prison was the famous Library which was built inside the Yum Territorial Prison. It was not a very fancy library, the prison could hardly afford books for the prisoners and for the people of Yuma to use. This library did not only help the prisoners but also other people who were not inmates as well. The library was filled with books once Madora Ingalls got people to donate books and raise money for new books. Another thing they would do to raise money

On 10/18/2016, at approximately 1840 hours, at the Durango Jail located at 3225 West Gibson Lane Phoenix, AZ 85009, upon working in Durango 8 Control, I noticed that the majority of the inmates in the housing unit were gathering around A-row for what appeared to be a fight.

The Arkansas prison system scandal changed Arkansas in many ways, even though the many efforts off cover ups through testimony’s the truth behind the scandal prevailed. In these five sources you learn that the reputation off Arkansas was much more important than the inmates who even as convicted felons where the victim in this scandal. There are many different opinions on why the Arkansas prison famers where in such poor condition but the evidence only proves one theory, that no one was to be trusted inside the facility from super attendant to warden to inmate’s no one was to be trusted. In such places were the inmates where giving power and the warden was bringing in contraband, and these are just a simple examples of just how unjust they

The island had over one hundred buildings on it. Everything within the prison walls was called the Bull Pen. In the center were two rolls of six buildings with one building on the end. Twelve of these were the barracks. They were two stories high with the first floor divided into multiple rooms and two kitchens. Later the kitchens and mess rooms were removed to another building. Men would be assigned two to a bunk and bunks would be three tiered. These buildings were not sealed but weather-boarded. It did not give much protection against cold or snow. Due to poor ventilation, the men would cut small holes in the walls, normally by their heads, to get some air.One stove was provided to heat the room but was inadequate. Very little wood was given to the prisoners a day. Many times the stove would not be burned during the night due to not enough wood. Every available chair or box and even parts of the bunks were burn. Prisoners would even form a circle around the stove and

Deportation is bad for the society and the economy because the deportees are wrongfully deprived of their freedom and could be separated from their families. In just one small city in Arizona there are 1,500 immigrants, who are being held in the Eloy Detention Center. The Eloy Detention Center got a special treat from John Legend and Juanes January 20,2016, the artists put on a concert that was meant for the detainees in the detention center, but unfortunately the detainees were only aloud to listen to the concert because the jail wouldn't let them out of the cells. Instead the close relatives and activists who were already there watched John Legend and Juanes perform a concert in protest of putting illegal immigrants in jail. The audience held signs and chanted "Si se peude," meaning yes we can and "not one more deportation." This concert was part of John legend's plan #FreeAmerica. Whereas in Emma Sanchez Paulsen's  case she was an illegal immigrant who immediately got deported the following describes her

The purpose of prison camps is to hold prisoners that were captured during the war. Over 400,000 men were captured and sent to the camps. The prison’s conditions were much more worse than the camps that the soldier’s stayed in. The North and the South both took part in holding these camps. If the men were captured, the only way for them to not be put in the camps was to promise to return to home or exchange for the other prisoners on the other side. However, these rules changed. Union leaders wanted to end prisoner exchange. In 1863, african americans began joining the war in. Confederate states wanted captured african american soldiers to be enslaved or executed. The prisoner exchange then terminated. This then resulted in the prison camps to be more crowded. In the camps, the conditions were poor. The food that was served lacked nutrition. Men often caught lice. The soldiers lacked medicine, ice, and doctors. Overcrowding became worse as time has gone by. In Andersonville, Georgia, a stockade was developed in an open field to keep prisoners. This was to handle the population in the other prison camps. The 20ft wall camp held 30,000 prisoners. Water was provided in the camps. However, the conditions in the camps were still horrific. Nearly 100 died each day. The death rates in the camps were really high. The death rates in the Union camps were twelve

Alcatraz Island has quite a distinct history. Many people know that Alcatraz served as a federal prison, but most are reluctant to know that this island served as fort. Built before the Civil War, it served two main purposes. First, that it was to guard the San Francisco bay area from enemy ships against a foreign invasion, and second, to hold hostage prisoners of war or POW's as they were called. In this report, I'll show you how this fortress came to be a federal prison, why it is no longer in operation today, and most importantly, to show why it was built in the first place. When the great "Gold Rush" of 1849 first started, California grew from what would be considered a small, unpopulated state, into
