Challenges
Defects of total power: the inmates vastly outnumber the people running them. The inmates are needed to run the prison (cooking, cleaning, ect.)
o Rewards and punishments: an attempt to maintain compliance. However, we are limited to both. Cannot punish more than original sentence. They have rights. You can only reward them so far. Can not only allow them to serve 2 rather than 5. Do job assignment awards. Cleanest dorm gets burger king.
o Exchange relationships: giving rewards for good behavior on shift. Ex: going out to yard early. Can lead to bad things. Contraband, inappropriate relationships, looking the other way when inmates miss treat other inmates.
o Inmate leadership: works well if you have a good inmate leader that is willing to work with the jail administration. Can be bad if they are not okay with the jail administration.
