Chapter 12 Extra Credit: Violent Offenders
Prison staff's response to violent offenders is to segregate those
individuals into a maximum security cell for up to 23 hours a
day. This segregation may last for years at a time, often
impacting the mental health of the inmate. Research
segregation within a prison and discuss the results of your
research in detail in order to demonstrate an understanding of
the issue. Also, give your opinion if this is the only viable
alternative to handling the violent inmate. Provide a link to at
least one
internet
site you researched.
