In Schafer's article on the Ineffective Police Leader, he describes "acts of commission as the actions or behaviors that ineffective police leaders have taken. Schafer describers "acts of omission" as the action or behaviors that should have been taken by ineffective leaders. Schafer groups the ineffective leadership habits into three categories: individual problems, occupational problems and leadership problems. His recommendations to overcome these problems include better training, such as a leader development process, instituting protocols and practices, better training and multiple potential corrective measures. My suggestions to a leader to improve labor relations would be better training and better protocols. AS Schaefer pointed…

The custody levels were close and middle. If you were in closed custody you would only come out your cell for a shower and you would be handcuff tell you were lock into a shower. It was like an animal shelter there were not quite moment in that place. The only time the officer would come into the cellblock were to feed or if they were force to assistant. If the inmate needed medical attention or help from beaten to death by another inmate or hanging themselves, the officers would not open the door to the cell tell higher-ranking officer with a video camera was there.

There were reports of other inmates, officer or inmates taking their own life. It was just a normal day at Hobby Hell.…

Get your hands up! Get Against the wall! Again he yelled get against the wall!

Riots and disturbances in prisons are not a new phenomenon in the United States and in the past decades there has been a continuation of these destructive and violent events. The prison riot at a phenomenon can be used in a number of ways. The term riot can be defined as the act of inmates taking control of a significant portion of a prison or correctional center for a significant period of time (American Correctional Association, 2010). Also, the term disturbance is considered a step down from riot because there are fewer inmates involved and there is no control or minimal control of a small portion of the correctional facility by inmates (American Correctional Association, 2010). One of the longest prisoner riots in the history of the United States occurred at the Arizona State Prison Lewis Complex in the Morey Unit. Located in Buckeye, Arizona the Morey Unit is designed to hold 800 prisoners of various security levels from low, medium, too high. This situation in the Morey Unit started in the early morning of January 18, 2004 in the kitchen where two inmates overtook civilian kitchen staff and correctional officers with prison made knives and shanks. The inmates who initiated this hostage situation was Steven Coy and Ricky Wassenaar, during this 15 day standoff two correctional officers were taken hostage, one female and one male. During the standoff the correctional officers were assaulted physically and sexually, but were eventually released alive. This riot and disturbance in the Morey Unit started as an escape attempt inmates Coy and Wassenaar, and when that plan got skewed it then turned into a long hostage situation, during which they were able to gain access to a guard tower with rifles and ammunition. The Morey Unit hostage situation could have been mitigated with four major methods of improved security measures, proper amount of staff and training, more experienced officers, and reduced overcrowding.…
In The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien, many soldiers carried physical objects with them no matter the weight or size. Lieutenant Jimmy Cross, who had much love for a young girl named Martha, carried light weight objects with a very special meaning for each one of them. Some of the things he carried that reminded him of Martha were photographs of her. One of the photographs he carried was an action shot of her playing volleyball with her knees visible. Looking at the photograph, “Lieutenant Jimmy Cross remembered touching that left knee” (4). Cross was able to recall the night he went on a date with her and gently touched her left knee and what he regretted not doing also. This photograph impacted his life by allowing him to reminisce the good times of…
The Attica Prison Riot of 1971 alarmed and outraged society. The public outrage brought about long overdue prison reforms including changes to public policy and administration. The riot began on September 9, 1971 and ended on September 13, 1971 when state police stormed the prison and opened fire. The re-taking of the prison left ten employees and twenty-nine inmates dead. During the riot itself one employee and three inmates were killed. The exact causes or incidents that led to the uprising are still argued today. There are different views on the events that incited the riot in the first place, the tragedies that occurred during the riot and the handling of the riot. However, one thing is certain, the riot did more than just raise an eyebrow it caught the attention of both the general public and government officials which in turn made it blatantly obvious that the prison system was in need of massive reform.…
