Prison Environment

Prison Environment

I define a prison environment as a place that confines inmates these offenders are deprived of their personal freedoms and they also are physically confined. This place appears to be a cold and unfeeling place to be and so many stages of conflict and pressures. The prison environment influences the institutional management and custody by the rising population and so many gangs that are within the facility. Overcrowding magnifies so many conflicts within the facility and this will increase the violence.

Since I have been working with offenders I have seen so much corruption occur the system with some of the offenders within the institution and this allows drugs and weapons to enter into the facility and this degrades the performance in so many ways. The interior settings of an institutions primary influence towards management and the custody include, offender social cultures also the physical atmosphere, and the staff culture. The external environment interrelates with the internal atmosphere and these effects the administration and the custody by the civil service department and they create the rules for the employees, also for the employee organizations and the unions which represent the employee's concerns and recovery advocates for instance sponsoring certain education, behavior science and even religion meditations that are inside the facility.

Prison setting changes can be in the coherent and economic interpretation, in which material rewards controls are provided in the direction people are in need of it. Some secure custody methods include counting inmates I know that every count procedure is showing how we are accountable for the inmates, to know their whereabouts, having a sally port with double gates to control the traffic into the prison and out, there have to be control of contraband, searches of the inmates from their garments to a full body cavity examination, shakedowns of their area and having them on lockdown. The prison setting affects protected supervision in many ways.

What seems to have evolved in the United States is a privatization model that essentially mimics the public model but achieves modest cost savings, at least initially, by making modest reductions in staffing patterns, fringe benefits, and other labor-related costs (Foster, 2006).
