At HM Prison Belmarsh, the prisoners are getting ready for their meals. The prison holds everyone from psychotic rapists to Islamic terrorists. As the prisoners received, they very strangely started to whistle. The guards found this unusual, as most of the time, the prisoners are either yelling or attacking each other. Even the prison chefs couldn't bare to notice the unusual behavior of the prisoners. Some of the prisoners were snapping their fingers to the whistling tunes. The prison guards talk among themselves about the unusual situation. Meanwhile, outside of the prison, four black armored trucks arrive at the prison. Over a dozen armored men exit with automatics and light machine guns per truck. They set up in front of the prison's main …show more content…
entrance. One of the guards on the roof takes out a loudspeaker.
"Whoever you are, turn back, or we will call-" the guard couldn't finish due to being shot by one of the armed men. They open fire into the entrance of the prison. Inside of the entrance, dozens of guards, workers, and visitors are gunned down in the mayhem. The supposed leader of the squad moves towards the entrance. An injured but standing guard exits the building with a shotgun and prepares to fire at the leader, only to be shot by him. Back in the prison, the guards are alerted of the chaos and proceed to heading towards the entrance to stop the raid. The dozen or so of guards that remain arrive to the cafeteria and proceed to lead the prisoners away from danger. However, one of the prisoners takes out a plastic knife and slits one of the guards' neck. A few other, and much bigger, prisoners attack the guards, pushing their guns away or taking them off of the guards to use …show more content…
against them. Meanwhile, an Austrian man remained seated and enjoying his meal during the massacre, humming the same tune as the other prisoners. Back to the raid, the guards are getting slaughtered by the invading squad. One of them grabs a guard and punches his real hard in the face. On the unconscious guard's face, the SPECTRE logo was embedded where he was punched. The squad continues to open fire at prison workers, chefs, guards, and anyone else who is not a prisoner. They edge closer to the cafeteria where most of the prisoners are, but a small group of armored guards arrive with automatics, and a shootout ensues. Despite powerful weapons, the squad manages to down the unfortunate small group of guards, due to their high-powered heavy machine guns. The leader enters the cafeteria, followed by the squad. "Welcome, gentlemen," the Austrian man spoke.
He got up and turned around to show himself as Ernst Stavro Blofeld, the leader of SPECTRE, formerly known as Franz Oberhauser. "It's about time I got out of here." Blofeld directed the leader of the squad towards the exit of the cafeteria, and they make their way to the exit of the prison.
"There was a complication getting the team together," the leader responded.
"Oh, I'm sure there was. It's not surprising at all that MI6 is chasing after ghosts," Blofeld said as he walked with the leader towards the entrance. "Oh, make sure our strongest prisoners are armed and very dangerous. I think I remember the armory being on the immediate left." The leader has a few of his men take the biggest convicts to the armory.
"We may have a potential problem I'd like to discuss in the car, but we need to hurry," The leader informs Blofeld. However, it's too late, as several of the British Army soldiers surround the prison.
"You are surrounded, there is no way out." The leader signals Blofeld to take cover behind a
truck. "Open fire," the leader announces calmly. The squad starts to fire at the soldiers, as the soldiers fire back. Bullets are flying back and forth, as Blofeld watches in enjoyment. "Use explosives!" Right on the leader's command, the squad uses their grenade launchers to destroy opposing vehicles. It seems as though the opposing soldiers are all dead. However, a soldier is struggling to crawl away, as he is bleeding in the pavement. Blofeld is given a handgun by the leader. He walks up to the crawling soldier. "Please, don't kill me. I have a family. A wife, two kids. My mother is sick, she needs me. Please, don't shoot." Blofeld looks at the man bleeding on the floor. "You are a man of honor. You are also a part of a people who like to torture their prisoners, make them bleed. You and your army friends enjoy that, don't you?" Blofeld laughs. "What makes you think I should spare someone like you? That's - what do you people call it? - rubbish." He shoots the soldier, point-blank. "Sir, your transport has arrived, right on time," the leader informs Blofeld. Blofeld spots the black car. "Yes, right on time. Why don't you join me, hm?" Blofeld asks the leader. The leader nods in agreement, and gets into the black car. They drive off. "Sir, there is something all over the news you may be interested in," the leader informs Blofeld. "What may that be?" Blofeld responded in annoyance. "Jason Bourne is alive," the leader answers back. He gives Blofeld a tablet with a news article on Jason Bourne's arrival to London. Blofeld has a big smile on his face. "Well, well, Mr. Bourne, we have much to discuss, don't we?" Blofeld says to himself. He chuckles sinisterly, as his scar bleeds.
The picture this book paints would no doubt bother corrections professionals in prisons where prisoner-staff relationships and officer solidarity are more developed. In training, Conover is told that "the most important thing you can learn here is to communicate with inmates." And the Sing Sing staff who enjoy the most success and fulfillment i...
“We have a total of 39 people. The other bases are a total of 33 people. We will have a 3 squads going out. Squad 1 will have Dr. Simmons and 10 men from the other base. They will be infiltrating the book storage to case a distraction, and remember you goal is to cause a distraction and get out. Professor West and 10 men will infiltrate the homebase with squad 2, including me, Montag and 10 men. Reverend Padover, Harris and Faber, you guys will be our eyes, ears and communication.
...they want to be not only respected but also being able to survive in the prison environment. In prison, there are so many inmates and not two inmates are the same. The inmates will disrespect the officers by calling them names, giving officers difficult times, but it goes the other way around too. It is disturbing image after learning that sometimes it is the officer’s fault and not just the inmates’ wrongdoings. There will be times when officers and inmates will engage in a conspiracy crime and times when the female staff is engaged in sexual actions with an inmate. Conover wrote this book to allow the audience to see the prison society from many different point-of-views and give future officers an early insight to becoming a correctional officer.
The jobs of correctional officer are some times overlooked. Correctional officers are playing a huge role in society because they need to perform important tasks. A correctional officer’s job is not easy and can become very stressful at times. Correctional officers are required to enforce and keep order, supervise inmates, help counsel offenders, search inmate cells for contraband, and also report on inmate actions. Correctional officers need to contain power over the prisoners in order to enforce the rules of the prison, or else the prison will not function correctly. In the book, Conover says, “The essential relationship inside a prison is the one between a guard and an inmate…the guard, it is thought, wields all the power, but in truth the inmate has power too” (Conover, p. 207). In the book, the importance of power the prisoner’s hold can be seen through the sudden increase of prisoners, the Stanford Prison Experiment and through the contraband they make.
These are the individuals that never give the guards a break. The stereotype given to these individuals is that they are respected by the other inmates, however the reality is that they are looked down upon due to their disregard for the negotiations and compromises which comprise the social order of a prison (Lovell, 1998). While the ball busters are portrayed in a negative manner by many inmates, the real men are the most admired in the prison world (Lovell, 1998). The ball busters tend to disrupt the social order of the prison, the real men on the other had do their time without confronting their captors by not acknowledging them. According to Sykes “it is the man who can stop himself from striking back at the custodians that wins the admiration and thus their image of the hero functions wittingly or unwittingly to maintain the status quo” (Sykes,
The prison, opened in 1876, was started by seven prisoners who built the first few cells. As more cells were build more prisoners were taken in and more manpower was available to build bigger, better, and faster. There were 3,069 prisoners, 26 of them female, through the 33 year run of the prison at 350 a time, most of them having crimes ranging from rape to murder and many more in between. No matter how cunning or dangerous the criminals were they didn’t have much chance to escape. Armed guards, deadly heat, spanning desert, the already secure structure, and rapid rivers that held no hope for any prisoner were all topped off by a Lowell gun which was superior to the Gatling gun at the time. Manufactured by the Ames Mfg. Co. it could fire up to 1000 times a minute and was said to be accurate up to 1000 feet under certain conditions making it fearsome to any prisoner dreaming of a false freedom.
Their are sentenced to hard labor for numerous hours in different weather conditions (Carroll & Rosenberg, 1967). At Big Pine Key Road Prison in Florida, inmates are allowed to work on a road prison to get time off of their sentence. Captain Thomas has vehicles with radios to report any escapes attempts that occur (Florida Inmates, 1983). This seems to be more effective than the monitoring of prisoners in Cool Hand Luke where they have to continue to shake a bush while they are seeking privacy. In Cool Hand Luke the correctional personnel carry (Carroll & Rosenberg, 1967). According to an article in the New York Times, it states that “Prisoners are divided into crews and trucked to their work destinations, with either a corrections officer or transportation supervisor in charge. Neither man carries a weapon” (Florida Inmates, 1983). It also discusses how many rather work the road prison because they are allowed to shorten their sentence and have a sense of being equal by neither prisoners or those in charge carrying
A study concerning the causes of prison riots by Scraton, Sim & Skidmore (1991), indicate that most explanations of riots fall into two categories. The first explanation is the deprivation theory, a response to poor prison conditions. The deprivation theory explains that prisoners will revolt in the face of food shortages, overcrowding, oppressive custodial discipline, sadistic staff, racism or any other inhumane circumstances (Rule 1988).
Sgt. Carden B0861 arrived at approximately 1700 hours, and attempted to talk to (S1) Inmate Taylor to de-escalate the situation, but (S1) Inmate Taylor refuse to listen and began to call him "A fat fucking faggot" and other derogatory comments. He then threatened to kill Sgt. Carden as well stating "I will find you on the street, and there will be gun play." He also threatened to assault Sgt. Carden if he opened the door. Sgt. Carden gave (S1) Inmate Taylor multiple orders to stop verbally abusing officers and to stop banging on the door. (S1) Inmate Taylor replied "Come in here and try to stop me from banging on this door, I'm going to do what I
Assaults on correctional officers in prison are not uncommon. Aggressive inmates need to be kept under control, which can sometimes cause fights between themselves and the officers. According to Stephen C. Light, a graduate from SUNY Plattsburgh “The sample consists of the 694 incidents of assaults by prisoners on offices that were reported to have occurred in 31 New York State prisons” (Light, 1991). The amount of assaults on officers demonstrates how violent inmates can get. Over 600 assaults in 31 different NY State prisons, displays one of the many hardships and challenges that come with being a corrections officer. Prison cells and housing areas are two places where prisoners spend most of their time. Those areas are the ones with the most frequent outbreak of assaults occur (Light, 1991). However, there is more to the assaults on officers than just how many there are and the location of where they
To begin the experiment the Stanford Psychology department interviewed middle class, white males that were both physically and mentally healthy to pick 18 participants. It was decided who would play guards and who would be prisoners by the flip of a coin making nine guards and nine prisoners. The guards were taken in first to be told of what they could and could not do to the prisoners. The rules were guards weren’t allowed t o physically harm the prisoners and could only keep prisoners in “the hole” for a hour at a time. Given military like uniforms, whistles, and billy clubs the guards looked almost as if they worked in a real prison. As for the prisoners, real police surprised them at their homes and arrested them outside where others could see as if they were really criminals. They were then blindfolded and taken to the mock prison in the basement of a Stanford Psychology building that had been decorated to look like a prison where guards fingerprinted, deloused, and gave prisoners a number which they would be calle...
The debate over prison systems in the United States has been a long controversy. The question as to; if stuffing a facility full with convicted criminals to be guarded by a flock of civilian employees will foster progress. But a main factor that contributes, is the line between guard and civilian. A guard, while trained, is not a military personal. The power given to them over the lives of others when they are simply a citizen is not normal for everyday citizens. This is one of the things Dr. Phillip Zimbardo wanted to test in his prison experiment at Stanford University, working on staff. Zimbardo created a mock prison in the basement, drawing psychologically fit young gentlemen to see what would happen. In a short
Through two metal, cold doors, I was exposed to a whole new world. Inside the Gouverneur Correctional Facility in New York contained the lives of over 900 men who had committed felonies. Just looking down the pathway, the grass was green, and the flowers were beautifully surrounding the sidewalks. There were different brick buildings with their own walkways. You could not tell from the outside that inside each of these different buildings 60 men lived. On each side, sharing four phones, seven showers, and seven toilets. It did not end there, through one more locked metal door contained the lives of 200 more men. This life was not as beautiful and not nearly as big. Although Gouverneur Correctional Facility was a medium security prison, inside this second metal door was a high wired fence, it was a max maximum security prison. For such a clean, beautifully kept place, it contained people who did awful, heart-breaking things.
The mob rushed into the prison’s courtyard. Some individuals were not as ruthless as others. "...Those who came in first treated the conquered enemy humanely and embraced the staff officers to show there was no ill-feeling..." However, several of the protestors were hurt as they attacked soldiers from the army. "....The people, transformed with rage, threw themselves on the sodiers..." Fierce fighting followed and carried on into the evening. Finally the mob got their hands on some cannons.
It was the unity of action and the unity of mind that was the ultimate triumph in defying the Germans. It wasn’t each prisoner fighting for his own memory. It was each prisoner fighting for the memories of all prisoners.
