Inmate Ghazawna, your grievance claims multiple issues, so I will answer them one at a time. You state that the phones were turned off during meal service “chow”. Per the Inmate Rules and Regulations Page 27 “An Officer will inspect dining and housing areas during the first hour after each meal. If the areas do not pass inspection within one hour after meals are served, the Officer may leave televisions and telephones off until inspection is passed.” As you can see, if the pod cleanliness was not up to standards, Officer Taylor was well with in procedures to turn off the phones. You stated in your grievance that inmates were walking around and getting into the shower during meal service. Rules and Regulations states “Your conduct during
Unable to get official permission to interview and write about correctional officers, Ted Conover, author of the book Newjack: Guarding Sing Sing, “got in" by applying for a correctional officer position. After training, he and his fellow rookies, known as "newjacks," were randomly assigned to Sing Sing, one of the country's most famous -- and infamous -- prisons. Sing Sing, a maximum-security male prison, was built in 1828 by prisoners themselves, kept at their task by frequent use of the whip. Today, the chaos, the backbiting, the rundown building and equipment, the disrespect and the relentless stress that Conover experienced in his year at Sing Sing show, quite well, how the increase of prisons in the U.S. brutalizes more than just the prisoners. Some of the individuals in Conover's entering "class" of corrections trainees had always wanted to work in law enforcement. Others were ex-military, looking for a civilian job that they thought would reward structure and discipline. But most came looking for a steady job with good benefits. To get it, they were desperate enough to commute hours each way, or even to live apart from their families during the work week. Their job consists of long days locking and unlocking cells, moving prisoners to and from various locations while the prisoners beg, hassle and abuse them. Sometimes, the prisoners' requests are simple, but against the rules: an extra shower, some contraband cigarettes. Other times, they are appropriate, but unbelievably complicated: it can take months to get information about property lost in the transfer from one prison to another. Meanwhile, the orders officers give are ignored. Discipline -- even among the officers themselves -- is non-existent. And with the money and benefits of this "good" job come nightmares and family stress, daily uncertainty about one's job and duties, and pent-up frustration that, every so often, explodes in violence -- instigated by staff as well as by prisoners.
The Missouri State Board of Nursing had several violation and disciplinary actions set for a hearing to review. The violation against one nurse was a second offense. A disciplinary action is for a first-time offense. Each action taken by the board is done with a group discussion and later deliberated to come to a final decision. The violators are then notified by mail. The two I chose are a violation and then a disciplinary action.
Recommendations: It is recommended that our law office regretfully deny service to Ms. Carry based upon the precedent in Kentucky. Based upon the analysis the issue, it is apparent that Ms. Carry would not receive a promising conclusion to her situation. Due to the facts involved and the cases discussed (which are somewhat on point) Ms. Carry does not make a claim in which relief can be granted.
In the case of Tomcik v. Ohio Dep’t of Rehabilitation & Correction, the main issue present was the medical negligence demonstrated by the staff of the medical clinic at the Ohio Department of Rehabilitation and Correction towards the inmate Tomcik. Specifically, nonfeasance, or the “failure to act, when there is a duty to act as a reasonably prudent person would in similar circumstances” (Pozgar, 2016, p. 192), was displayed when the employees at the medical clinic failed to give immediate medical attention to Tomcik when she continually signed the clinic list and “provided the reason she was requesting
County Jail is equipped to hold 221 prisoners, each who must eat three times a day, and have an hour outside for recreation.
Petioner Nazari as will be call here in-after, asserts that while in Prison, inmates retain their right to exercise their rel'igious beliefs. Petitioner contends that Bureau of Prisons denies the basic rights of conscience to Rastafarian. Puisuant to Equal Protection Under the Law, requires that all persons similarly situated be treated alike. Within the Bureau of Prisons, religious diets are recognized for Jews, Muslims and so forth. But the Rastafarian Dietary Tenets are challenged at every door.
Being a prisoner has more restrictions than one may believe. Prisoners are told when they should participate in daily activities and what they are allowed to say or do on a daily basis. This is not a life anyone is determined to experience during any period of time. However, all though for most prison life is just a depiction in a movie or on television, it is a reality for many. Their crimes and behaviors brought them into a world of being stripped of their freedom. Those who oversee the prisoners must control order within the brick walls. An article discussing the duties of a prison officer, defines it as one who “...has responsibility for the security, supervision, training and rehabilitation of people committed to prison by the courts”
In most prisons, you will find that prisoners are ill-treated by the prison officials yet suing them is a whole lot of bureaucracy. To sue such officials one need to have first raised his or her grievances prior, lest the case is termed to have not followed the required stages hence rejection. This thus promotes stigmatization amongst the prisoners and such policies require amendment. In most cases, you find that prison officials punish inmates to extents that are excessive of what is required. There several scenarios where we have heard of prison deaths due to bullying and even sponsored fights between inmates and such fights could be sponsored by guards who have prejudiced over some inmates. Through the litigation reform acts, and with evidence and following of appropriate procedures, prisoners can thus be able to get some relief and more important enjoy their rights as humans as well (Jail House Lawyers Handbook,
Inmate Astori, in your grievance you state that you want to talk to someone about having TNT or History channel on the pod TV. You state that the only time the inmates are “quiet and non-aggressive” is when an officer forgets to change back the channel after an authorized sports game was on the TV. Your solution if for you to speak to someone about having different channels authorized.
Gresham M. Sykes describes the society of captives from the inmates’ point of view. Sykes acknowledges the fact that his observations are generalizations but he feels that most inmates can agree on feelings of deprivation and frustration. As he sketches the development of physical punishment towards psychological punishment, Sykes follows that both have an enormous effect on the inmate and do not differ greatly in their cruelty.

The system of the Prison Industrial Complex operates within the law. The law allows private companies to infiltrate the prison, while keeping prisoners in a subjugated position. The law, under the Eight Amendment obligates prison officials to provide prisoners with “adequate” medical care. This principle applies regardless of whether the medical care provided is by governmental employees or by private medical staff under contract with the government (Project, 2012). If prisoners believe they are being denied their constitutio...

TV and radios may be prohibited or, if allowed, they will be controlled by guards. Prisoners have little or no personal privacy. Guards monitor the inmates' movements with video cameras. Communication between prisoners and control booth officers is mostly through the vents. An officer at a control center may be able to monitor cells and corridors and control all doors electronically.
First and foremost, the warden should have been responsible for looking out for the possibility that there would have been people around, between the correctional centre and the medical centre in the city of
