	The Crime of punishment Pelican Bay Maximum Security Prison
		The SHU prisoner with an indeterminate sentence is in an untenable situation: if he snitches, he becomes a target for retaliation by those he implicates and must become a regular informant to maintain the protection of the guards.
		In the early 1950s, in the relatively freer atmosphere of the "treatment era" prison, Black prisoners began to seize and dominate the state's prison yards as a means of fighting segregation and reversing their position at the bottom of the convict caste system.
		These prison gangs were an attempt by the disenfranchised to exercise control over their immediate environment and to reverse the effects of racial discrimination.

		Prison managers set the rules that govern the prison society according to a general view of the types of offenders who will be held in those communities.
		Prisoners designated to serve their sentences in minimum-security facilities generally have records that demonstrate a level of responsibility and good citizenship that may be absent from the offenders held in higher-security institutions.
		It's important for each offender to know that although it is difficult to work one's security and classification scoring down (meaning one would be eligible to be held in lower security), it is easy to add points to one's security and classification scoring (meaning one would have to move up to a higher-security institution).

	Total Confinement: Madness and Reason in the Maximum Security Prison.
		The primary subject of Rhodes’ analysis is a maximum security control unit in Washington State.
		A supermax functions as a prison for prisons—it is an administrative classification used for inmates who have engaged in behavior while in prison that is deemed especially disruptive or violent.
		What happens to the people who live and work in prison when we “get tough” and “lock ‘em up and throw away the key?” The answer appears to be that their humanity—and society’s as well—is reduced.

	Writer's Guide to the PR Universe - Funaro Maximum Security Prison
		The Funaro Maximum Security Prison was a metal island, in the shape of a surfaced submarine, largely colored a dark shade of purple.
		The prison was a considerable drive away from Millennium City, across a mountain range and just offshore from a series of pinkish buildings.
		Following Frax's activation of the time device, the Cryogenic Detainment Tower of Funaro Maximum Security Prison was warped out of the year 3000 through a time hole, taking himself, Ransik, Gluto, Nadira and all the captured mutants with it.

		If they’re on the high-side, meaning high security prisoners, a Licensed Practical Nurse (LPN), or an RN will have to go to the inmate’s cell to screen them first, before they’ll be allowed to leave their cell.
		Prisoners on the low-side, or considered a low security risk, can come to the clinic on their own, once they sign the sick call.

	AlterNet: Iraq 'Supermax' Prison Won't Wipe Away Abu Ghraib Stain
		Prisoners are often dumped in supermaxes for petty, non-violent offenses, for being a suspected gang member even if they have not been accused of any misconduct, if serving a long prison sentence, or are mentally ill, or simply to relieve prison overcrowding.
		Supermax prisons were built during the 1980s and early 1990s when states were flush with cash, and lawmakers and much of the public were in a lock em' up and throw away the key mood with criminals.
		The mounting evidence that supermax prisons were not being used solely to confine dangerous and violent prisoners, and that the prisoners in these jails were being abused and their rights violated, stirred no outcry from politicians or the public.

	Prison gangs thrive in maximum security (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		I know it seems like I give prison guards a hard time a lot, and I am not saying that their jobs are easy, but I am saying that if you fail at that job I am not sure where else we can put you.
		Some of the guys in the prison have had so much time on their hands they have learned how to make handcuff keys out of the metal part of an asthma inhaler.
		Now since the super maximum “let’s put everyone in one big prison” theory appears to have only helped gangs thrive as the Mexican mafia since the creation of Pelican Bay has increased 10 fold, the next idea is to spread these guys all over the country instead of holding them all in one place.

	CSRP: Petition from the Women's Maximum Security Prison in Chorrillos, Peru (Sept 98)
		The following statements were made available by the families of political prisoners to international organizations and lawyers concerned with the unjust criminal justice system in Peru and with the rights of prisoners and their conditions.
		Most of the prisoners referred to in these statements were detained under draconian laws designed to imprison anyone suspected of even sympathizing with the insurgency being led by the Communist Party of Peru (often called Shining Path).
		With regard to the psychological damage, the entire system of alienation of this enclosed regime of maximum security is oriented to and directed at gnawing slowly at the emotions of the human being, the treatment given our relatives is comparable to the one given to the animals at the zoo.

	ABC News: Inside a Maximum Security Women's Prison
		The maximum security facility is home to some of the roughest female prisoners in Georgia, and behind its walls is a unique, self-contained world with a culture of its own.
		The hierarchy of desire in prison goes like this: In a world where women develop lesbian relationships, the most desirable partners are the ones that are most masculine.
		Unlike in male prisons where sex is used as a tool of violence and intimidation, inmates and guards say the sex in female prisons tends not to be coercive.

	Lorna Rhodes_Maximum Security Prisons
		Rhodes was eventually able to enter several maximum security, or “supermax,” units through the Correctional Mental Health Collaboration—a project based in the School of Nursing, led by David Allen—and later on her own.
		Rhodes’ book explores the challenges faced by prisoners and prison staff, describing what she calls “daily assertions of authority and resistance.” She tells of prison officers who struggle to do their work without “losing their souls.” She describes prisoners who express their frustration by injuring themselves or throwing bodily waste.
		In some cases, prisoners whose mental state makes it difficult for them to understand or follow prison rules are confined in supermax units as a result of their behavior.

		Of the seven returned to prison due to new crimes, one subject was first returned to prison for a new crime while six had been returned to prison as a result of parole violations linked to incidents that subsequently resulted in convictions for new crimes.
		The failure of the Concord Prison Experiment to generate a reduction in recidivism rates should not be interpreted as proof of the lack of value of psychedelics as adjuncts to psychotherapy in criminals.
		Subject #9 was returned to prison for parole violations linked to a new crime for which he was not convicted, was released after serving additional time, and then returned for parole violations linked to subsequent convictions for new crimes.

	Colditz Castle - WW2 Maximum Security Prison Camp
		Until 1943 escaping prisoners were protected from being shot by the terms of the Geneva agreement, and at Colditz a unyielding game of cat and mouse developed with the cream of the allied officers pitting their wits against their German captors.
		Colditz Castle was the "maximum security" prisoner of war camp situated over 300 km from the nearest "safe" border and housed those allied officers who had persistently escaped from other "stalags" within occupied Europe.
		Prisoners on their supervised daily walk to the park near the castle paused by a gate leading out to let a German woman through.

	DRUGS-MEXICO: Police, Troops Occupy Top Security Prison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		While the soldiers and police attempt to restore order in the prison, which houses 500 inmates, including several powerful drug barons, the war between cartels continues in the streets, as they fight for control over the channels for shipping drugs into the United States, the world's biggest market for narcotics.
		The attorney-general's office acknowledged that several drug kingpins have continued running their businesses from within the top security prisons, and it warned of the risk that they were organising an armed attack and a massive jailbreak.
		By controlling the prisons, where they even order the murders of rivals, and controlling the war in the streets, Mexico's drug cartel leaders are emulating what Colombian drug barons have done in the past, said Zapata.

		At Youngstown, prisoners inhabit a six-by-eight-foot cell without human contact 23 hours a day, and may enter a larger cell for the remaining hour shackled hand and foot, says Kautz, who protested the opening of the prison and gathered testimonies from inmates on their conditions.
		Durand says some prisoners who spoke with Kautz did not know why they had been transferred to Youngstown and had no idea how long their stay would last.
		The letter expresses concern with Youngstown conditions, such as poor treatment of prisoners; visiting hours' occurring only on weekdays, when prisoners' families are at work or school; and two suicides since the prison opened.
