12.4

The inmate code exists inside prison, an unwritten code that specifies the behaviors and values prisoners are expected to demonstrate in order to protect themselves and stay out of

serious trouble, while earning a degree of respect from others.

See page 403 for Key Terms.

Women offenders have different problems and in different proportions than men. For example, nearly half of women

inmates have been sexually abused in the past versus only 12 percent of men. More than two-thirds of women in prison have

minor children.

Prisons are unique social institutions due to the lack of control prison administrators have in selecting, releasing, and

impacting their clients. Prisons are a "society within a society," which operates under an informally negotiated set of

informal rules enforced by both corrections officers and the inmates themselves.

CHAPTER SUMMARY

12.7

A study of inmates in U.S. prisons found that more than half had a mental health problem. Federal legislation passed in

late 2000 created one hundred mental health courts to focus on treatment and rehabilitation of mentally ill offenders who

land in the criminal justice system.

Trends that are shaping the future of corrections include offender accountability, punishment and control by distance, expanding the net, The Incredible Years training series, and

community justice are the 'future of corrections.

New ways of dealing with offenders include technocorrections, genetic risk assessment, risk assessment, The High Scope

Perry Preschool Project, virtual prison, and injected/surgical implants for sex offenders.
