Supermax Prison: controlling the most dangerous criminals

Larry L. Franklin

4.9/5 (30907 ratings)

Description:The Tamms supermax reduced violence, protected the staff and inmates, and provided the mental health needs for a unique population. But time eroded public confidence in a facility that imposed long-term solitary confinement years beyond acceptable practice. Human rights groups were passionate in their criticism of the supermax; politicians were unwilling to provide adequate funding; scholars sometimes picked their favorite statistic to prove a point; inmates told unimaginable stories sprinkled with a measure of truth; and families shared stories passed on by boys who became broken men. But the quieter voices spoke of inmates who improved while at Tamms; mental health workers who were able to practice their craft; correctional officers who lived beyond their life expectancy; the orderly function of lesser restricted facilities; local residents who spent a chunk of their life to bring the supermax to their area; and southern Illinois residents who brought home a paycheck every two weeks. While there are stories of unimaginable violence, sadness, and injustice, there are hues of happiness and hope. We present the good and bad, the certain and unimaginable. The reader can choose sides on the issue, or embrace the broader story of "Supermax controlling the most dangerous criminals."We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
