1. Consider the differences in types and classifications of prison facilities (i.e., minimum security, medium security, maximum security, supermax). Review the differences found in Chapter 7. Why have different types of facilities been created? How are these differences and types of prisons necessary? If you believe that the differences are not necessary, explain your position for a single type of facility.
2. Consider prisonization, importation, and the pains of imprisonment as described in the text. Why are these important for correctional administrators to recognize (or why not)?
3. Several special populations of inmates are reviewed in the text. Which special populations represent the greatest challenges for prison administrators. How should prison administrators respond to these challenges?
