The Inmates

One of the main barriers that inmates face when they are released from prison is limited cognitive skills, limited education and work experience, and substance abuse or other mental health problems. Substance abuse and other mental health problems limit employability because it limits the job readiness that is required for employment (Holzer, Raphael & Stoll, 2003). Another issue that is faced when inmates are released into society is that any skills that they did have

a complex and brutal prison environment for both its guards and inmates. Andy Dufresne, an inmate who is wrongly convicted of murder, is faced with several facets of the grim and isolated nature of Shawshank penitentiary. Throughout the film, several correctional concepts are illustrated that present inimitable challenges for both Dufresne as well as other inmates in the prison. The major correctional concepts that shaped the inmates’ prison experiences include: prison economy, prisonization and institutionalization

kinds of facilities inmates can go to, there are Prison Camps, Federal Correctional Institutions, Unites States Penitentiary, Administrative Facilities, and Federal Correctional Complexes. The first federal facility is minimum security institutions, which are Prison Camps. Prison Camps have minimal security and usually have a higher inmate-to-staff ratio. Prison Camps have relatively low amounts of fencing around the facilities, and sometimes don’t have fencing at all. Inmates in these camps sleep

Quakers prison was the humane treatment of prisoners. Under this model inmates were confined to separate, individual cells, where all daily activities were conducted. This system became known as the Pennsylvania model. The Pennsylvania system eventually lost out to the Auburn model, mainly due to the belief that the Pennsylvania systems strict silence and solitary confinement measures drove inmates insane. Under this system inmates became cost-effective labor for manufacturers. In the end both

the weak, and the inmates that need help would become easy prey. If an inmate even looks at an ill person it is a clear target that can easily be harmfully harassed. I am against mental ill inmates being in prison and jail considering that they can not defend them self. For some passions is even worse do to the fact they don’t have any type of memory of their crime that they have done. Prisons are not really set up for ill people. More the half the prison population is of inmates with some type of

prisoners are not provided the proper care needed for their survival. (Cooper, Sabol, West 1) Several inmates are put in unjust situations and living conditions through prison systems that majorly effect their everyday lives. Many of these issues pose threats to the prisoners but are preventable through change in the system. Prison systems around the world are flawed and need to be reworked. Inmates are constantly surrounded by an unhealthy environment full of sexual assault, lack of good health, and

Twenty-Two Hours a day inmates spend with no light, and no human contact, locked in a small cell the size of a parking spot, how long could you keep your sanity? Out of 900 killers sentenced to death row since 1978, only thirteen of them have been executed, says Sarah Kaufman in the article Death Row Phenomenon. As a result of being an inmate condemned to death row, many inmates experience emotional distress, as well as Death Row Syndrome. The definition of insanity is “the state of being seriously

must be provided to their inmates, as it is considered an Eighth Amendment issue regarding cruel and unusual punishment. Furthermore, the medical services provided, must be at a level comparable to the care an inmate would receive in the community if they were not incarcerated. Therefore if I were a warden of a prison, I would recommend reducing the inmate need for healthcare and reduce the cost of health care per inmate treated. For the former I would screen inmates on intake, and treat diseases

Inmate Brandon, please be aware that MCSO has a policy in place regarding drug testing of inmates. MCSO Policy DJ-6 INMATE DRUG TESTING states “It is the Policy of the Office to require all inmates to submit to random and reasonable suspicion drug testing in an attempt to deter illegal drug activities within the jail system.” Only inmates who have been in MCSO custody over 30 days will be subject to random drug testing to allow any residual illegal drugs in there system at the time of arrest to

corruption or deviance from prison staff has a lot a varieties. From being bribed to smuggle drugs into the prison or jails for inmates, to guards having sexual relationships with prisoners as well as them looking the other way to set up a prisoner to be attacked. Guards at a prison or jail are just as effected by prisonization as the inmates are except instead of the inmates becoming more compliant to the prison, guards become more and more like the prisoners they are meant to protect
