A maximum-security prison is a facility designed to house the most dangerous and violent offenders. These prisons have strict security measures, including high walls, surveillance cameras, and armed guards, to prevent escapes and maintain order. Inmates are often kept in solitary confinement or in secure cells to minimize interactions with others. Inmates in a maximum-security prison typically have committed serious crimes, such as murder, armed robbery, or drug trafficking. The environment is highly controlled, with limited access to recreational activities and strict visitation rules. The goal is to ensure the safety of both staff and the public while managing high-risk individuals.
