	Prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Prisons are conventionally institutions which form part of the criminal justice system of a country, such that imprisonment or incarceration is the legal penalty that may be imposed by the state for the commission of a crime.
		Prisons may also be used as a tool of political repression to detain political prisoners, prisoners of conscience, and "enemies of the state", particularly by authoritarian regimes.
		Prisons form part of military systems, and are used variously to house prisoners of war, unlawful combatants, those whose freedom is deemed a national security risk by military or civilian authorities, and members of the military found guilty of a serious crime.

	Abu Ghraib prison - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Under Hussein's Ba'ath government, it was known as Abu Ghraib Prison and had a reputation as a place of torture and some of the worst cases of torture in the modern world.
		The prison complex was built by British contractors in the 1960s, and covered 280 acres (1.15 km²) with a total of 24 guard towers.
		All [prisoners in Iraq] except those held by the Ministry of Justice are, technically speaking, held against the law because the Ministry of Justice is the only authority that is empowered by law to detain, to hold anybody in prison.

		Prisons are meant to punish those who have committed a crime, but usually do so with excessive and unintended cruelty.
		Once the jail and prison populations come down to a manageable size, correctional officers should be encouraged, through educational and salary incentives, to switch from their current roles--in which they basically function like hotel attendants--to becoming true “Rehabilitation Officers,” implementing and managing meaningful rehabilitation programs.
		Prison systems should be rewarded for their ability to rehabilitate inmates, not for simply preventing inmates from escaping.

		The Prison is a Breakout-style game featuring a wide assortment of power-ups, special bricks, and other oddities.
		For the uninitiated, the object of the game is to destroy bricks by bouncing a ball (or in this case, a little man trapped in a ball) into them, while keeping the ball from falling off the bottom of the screen.
		One of the (relatively) unique points in The Prison's gameplay is that you don't need to hit every brick to complete a level; instead you just need to hit the top border a few times.
