Forgotten OffendersForgotten Offenders• Institutionalized sexism:–Women’s prisons generally located
farther from friends and families–Small number of women in prison and
jail is used to “justify” lack of diverse educational, vocational, and other programs available to incarcerated women.–Small number used to “justify” low
levels of specialization in treatment and failure to segregate the more-serious and mentally ill offenders from the less-serious offenders.

Governing PrisonsGoverning PrisonsInmate balance theory:
◦For a prison system to operate effectively, officials must tolerate minor infractions, relax security measures, and allow inmate leaders to keep order.
Administrative control theory:◦Prison disorder results from
unstable, divided, or otherwise weak management.

Governing PrisonsGoverning PrisonsFour factors that make governing
prisons different from administering other public institutions:◦Defects of total power◦Limited rewards and punishment◦Co-optation of correctional officers◦Strength of inmate leadership

Governing PrisonsGoverning PrisonsAccommodative relationships
between officers and inmates:◦ Negotiations are central to prisoner
control, correctional officers cannot have total control over inmates.
◦ Once an officer defines a set of informal rules with prisoners, the rules must be respected by all parties.
◦ Some rule violations are “normal” and consequently do not merit officers’ attention or sanctioning.

prison directors:◦ Are in office long enough to learn the job,
make plans, and implement them.◦ Project an appealing image to a wide range
of people, both inside and outside of the organization.
◦ Are dedicated and loyal to the department, seeing themselves as engaged in a noble and challenging profession.
◦ Are highly hands-on and proactive.
