I correct when claiming that the majority of inmantes sent to maximum security prisions are those who commited violent crimes. Though I learned that many are both people who have a record of violence or had repeated crimes. Though, I learned that not only does that determine if a person is sentanced to a maximum security but not only have a background check on them and a persons criminal history but also, psychological and educational testing is done on some. Based off of this, each future inmante is classified and based off their classification the location they will serve their sentence is determined.
From this, I have thought of more questions to ask on my topic. I am curious the impact of placing the most violent criminals in the same prison impacts the violence inside the prison with inmates and staff? Also, how is gender seperated within these prisons?
I have found information on violence in Prisons specifically gangs, a lot of information on the history and build up of these institutuons, those on death row in maximum security, and information on the services that are offered to ensure health for the inmates in these maximum security prisons.
Hi Mary,
ReplyDeleteThank you for your update on assumptions and new information about people in maximum security prisons. You raise a good question about women in maximum security prisons. I wonder how many women are in maximum security prisons, in general, compared to men...
How do they handle gang members vs. non-gang members in maximum security prisons?
Sincerely,
