Inmate Violence
Inmate violence refers to aggressive behavior exhibited by individuals incarcerated in correctional facilities. This violence can occur between inmates or against staff members and may stem from various factors, including overcrowding, gang affiliations, and competition for resources. Such incidents can lead to injuries, increased security measures, and a challenging environment for rehabilitation.
Preventing inmate violence is a significant concern for prison management. Strategies may include conflict resolution programs, mental health support, and improved living conditions. By addressing the root causes of violence, facilities aim to create a safer environment for both inmates and staff, ultimately promoting better outcomes for rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
