What Is Violent Behavior In Prison

Violent behavior among prison inmates continue to rise. There are certain prison rules that are set by the more dominant inmates and when those rules are broken by the less dominant inmates, there are consequences that must be suffered. These consequences include acts of violence being carried out against the “perpetrators.” With dominance being so important to inmates, there are often fights to prove who is more dominant. Once the dominance has been established, everyone else is expected to submit or pay a stiff price. Unfortunately, the less dominate literally gives up their “prison rights” to include giving up their bunks and food. Violent behavior between inmates and staff also continue to rise, especially as prisons become more populated.
