Prisonization

If I were sentenced to prison, I would become a better person and not a seasoned

criminal, as it would offer me the chance to reflect on my life and what I want from it. I would

take the opportunity as a learning lesson to think about how to improve my life positively. I am

sure that life and conditions in prison are harsh and tough. For instance, once in prison, I would

be deprived of my rights to freedom. Therefore, I would find ways never to go there again. This

is the same notion as the idea of learning criminal ways from other people who get caught. I

would be interested in listening to their encounters and experiences for knowledge purposes and

not joining them since I am aware of the adverse consequences.

Gangs in Prison

If I were appointed as warden at a medium-security prison that had a terrible problem

with gang affiliations, I would deal with the problem by employing administrative segregation

methods. This would include the separation of the gang members to reduce the chances. The

leaders would be placed under higher security. I would engage other professionals in talks with

the other members to create awareness of the seriousness of their activities. Investigations and

searches would then be conducted on the members to find items like weapons and drugs that

would lead to punishments.

The Solidarity of Inmate Culture

The era of the bog house is mainly considered to have taken place between the 1930s and

the 1940s. The design of the prisons took the form of the auburn style intending to break the

spirit of the prisoners. In particular, punishment and the prevention of crime were to be done

through their subjection to severe living conditions and strict discipline as opposed to

rehabilitation (Bright 140). Inmates were exposed to inhumane conditions and performed forced

labor.
