	California State Prison, Corcoran - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		California State Prison, Corcoran is a state penitentiary in California, USA.
		It houses almost 5,000 prisoners, although it was designed to hold 3,000.
		In March 1997, the CBS News newsmagazine 60 Minutes broke the story of a scandal at Corcoran where the guards were accused of playing "gladiator" games with the prisoners.

	Voices from Corcoran (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Basically, Corcoran prison is a death chamber, and it is sure that all who come here for any great length of time will surely die, or in the least, leave her sick.
		Corcoran prison denies inmates’ families a full investigation, and we are denied the right to spend time with our families before death.
		Many prisoners had been prescribed methadone for pain, and knowing full well that it too is addictive as much as heroin is and the withdrawal is worse than heroin, it would be better to have prescribed heroin.

	Justice for Prisoners from Corcoran State Prison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Prisoners are routinely subjected to conditions and treatment that have been repeatedly judged deliberately and maliciously neglectful in Federal District Courts.
		Prisoners families and loved ones are tormented, and the poor and minority communities of our State are adversely affected as a result.
		A legitimate end to the abuse of prisoners from Corcoran has to include more than a few disciplinary findings, firings or even indictments against a few officers who were involved in a "greet the bus" beating on a single day or a single killing of an arena combatant.

	Abuse in the California prison system
		Corcoran is probably the most brutal of all of California's prisons, a state that leads the nation in the rush to incarcerate ever greater numbers of people in increasingly harsh conditions.
		The key role that the prison system increasingly plays in US social policy, particularly in the state of California, can be judged from a report by the Justice Policy Institute, from October 1996, which stated: "From 1984 to 1994, California built 21 prisons, and only one state university...
		Other witnesses have charged that new arrivals at the prison were routinely forced to run a gauntlet of prison guards, who savagely beat, kicked and clubbed the new inmates as an initiation into the prison.

	60II Classic: A Brutal Prison - CBS News
		Corcoran State Prison was being investigated by the FBI because numerous corrections officers -- prison guards -- were accused of staging inmate fights, sometimes wagering on the outcome and then, when those fights got out of control, of shooting the inmates involved.
		California's Department of Corrections is the only major prison system in the country where the guards are armed inside all the prison housing areas, and for years its regulations called for an integrated exercise yard policy.

	Gladiator - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Recent research has come to light which suggests that gladiators were not as savage as once thought and actually adhered to a strict code of discipline and did not resort to savage violence and mutilation which could occur on the battlefields of the day.
		Gladiators were typically picked from prisoners of war, slaves, and sentenced criminals.
		In California, Corcoran State Prison became infamous in 1997 when it was discovered that the guards were staging informal "gladiator" fights with the prisoners (some of which were videotaped).
