Treatment Of Prisoners?

Question

Where can I find information on how prisoners are treated, such as websites and such. I am doing a problem/solution essay and I have heard that prisoners are treated way better than they ever should be, and would like to write my paper on that. Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

who ever told you that non sense is a sorry piece of work. Prison is more horrible than you can imagine. Imagine being told when to urinate,eat,sleep, and being locked down 24 hrs a day in a 2 man cell which is smaller than two foot lockers ...Imagine eating bugs. Imagine getting your manhood or womanhood taken by a prison guard. Imagine loosing all of your belongings when you get out you have lost everything, family, house, pets. You now live on the streets after being treated like dirt. Now put this in your term paper. I am one of those prisoners that was wrongfully accused. Of course our justice system didn't work because of all the political bullshit. I did a year and let me tell you it is the worst nightmare you can imagine. Imagine screaming all night every night. Never sleeping. Terrible food. Fights all day. People crying, people getting rolled up out of bed because they are having seizures. In which they roll the people out in hallways on their stomachs until the seizure stops and they are drooling. They then roll them back into their to oms on their stomachs and leave them. Before you write a term paper go the jails institutions and death no lies.com
GET REAL. KNOW THE FACTS....ONE MORE THING RATS EAT YOUR FOOD AND CLOTHS TOO.

In a report for the United Nations' Committee against Torture, the London-based human rights group also alleged abuses within the U.S. domestic law enforcement system, including use of excessive force by police and degrading conditions of isolation for inmates in high security prisons.

"Evidence continues to emerge of widespread torture and other cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment of detainees held in U.S. custody," Amnesty said in its 47-page report.

It said that while Washington has sought to blame abuses that have recently come to light on "aberrant soldiers and lack of oversight", much ill-treatment stemmed from officially sanctioned interrogation procedures and techniques.

"The U.S. government is not only failing to take steps to eradicate torture, it is actually creating a climate in which torture and other ill-treatment can flourish," said Amnesty International USA Senior Deputy Director-General Curt Goering.

The U.N. committee, whose experts carry out periodic reviews of countries signatory to the U.N. Convention against Torture, is scheduled to begin consideration of the United States on Friday. The last U.S. review was in 2000.

It said in November it was seeking U.S. answers to questions including whether Washington operated secret detention centers abroad and whether President George W. Bush had the power to absolve anyone from criminal responsibility in torture cases.

The committee also wanted to know whether a December 2004 memorandum from the U.S. Attorney General's office, reserving torture for "extreme" acts of cruelty, was compatible with the global convention barring all forms of cruel, inhumane or degrading treatment.


UNTIL THE END
In its own submission to the committee, published late last year, Washington justified the holding of thousands of foreign terrorism suspects in detention centers abroad, including Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, on the grounds that it was fighting a war that was still not over.

"Like other wars, when they start, we do not know when they will end. Still, we may detain combatants until the end of the war," it said.

The U.S. human rights image has taken a battering abroad over a string of scandals involving the sexual and physical abuse of detainees held by American forces in Afghanistan, Iraq and Guantanamo Bay.


In its submission, Washington did not mention alleged secret detention centers.

Amnesty listed a series of incidents in recent years involving torture of detainees in U.S. custody, noting the heaviest sentence given to perpetrators was five months in jail.

This was the same punishment you could get for stealing a bicycle in the United States, it added.

"Although the U.S. government continues to assert its condemnation of torture and ill-treatment, these statements contradict what is happening in practice," said Goering, referring to the testimony of torture victims in the report.

Answer 2

Anyone who thinks that prisoners arnt treated fairly is unaware of the truth. I served one and a half years for two ounces of marijauna when I was 19 years old. Before that, I had similair ideas of how the media presents the treatment of our fellow americans who are incarcerated.

First off you should be aware that all prisoners are ¨kept together regardless of there crime. That means that rapist are kept in the same cells as for example petty theives or drug offenders. Imagine being locked up for twelve hours a day, in a cell with a rapist. No matter what the other twelve hours are like you are still going to be in hell. Dont get me wrong, this is no cake walk, if you manage to make it out with your anal virginity, you are still in a place that is run by gangs and currupt gaurds. You will get beat up a minimum of 3 times per year just because thats the way it is ( Im a fair large guy). You cant see your family except once a week for a half hour through glass, and you are degraded and confined. the truth of the matter is, somthings in life you can not learn by reading about it, this being one of them. the things that go on in those places arnt supposed to be happening and the goverment does not have the will or the money to fix our system. They protect themselves by denyability and propaganda like ¨´prisons arnt tough enough´¨

I think that it should be policy that all judges should spend a month in prison so they know where they are sending people and they can sentence accordingly

If given the choice to be hung or spend life in prison I will glady hang myself.

I currently live in europe, and I am against US policy on the treatment of prisoners. For your research I suggest you see how the rest of the civilized world deals with this. >Try sweden.

He have been given the action picture made approximately his existence, He moved on the be a Senator in this very actuality. collectively as the different 280 POW's on the comparable time McCain became into there have been given not something.

Answer 8

I think you ought to do your research first, and draw your conclusions afterwards.

I've been a prisoner myself, and I haven't seen the worst the system has to offer. Conditions vary from state to state, and even within a given state, a lot depends on the particular institution.
