文化面面觀 Prisons in the United States
美國的監(jiān)獄
Medium security
Prisoners that fall into the
medium-security group may sleep in dormitories on bunk beds with lockers to
store their possessions. They may have communal showers, toilets and sinks.
Dormitories are locked at night with one or more correctional officers
supervising, there is less supervision over the internal movements of prisoners.
The perimeter is generally double fenced and regularly patrolled.
Minimum security
Prisoners in minimum-security facilities are considered
to pose little physical risk to the public, and are mainly non-violent "white
collar criminals". Minimum Security prisoners live in less-secure dormitories,
which are regularly patrolled by correctional officers. As in medium security
facilities, they have communal showers, toilets, and sinks. Martha Stewart was a
minimum-security inmate at "Camp Cupcake" in West Virginia.
A minimum-security facility generally has a single fence that is watched, but
not patrolled by armed guards. At facilities in very remote and rural areas,
there may be no fence at all. Prisoners may often work on community projects,
such as roadside litter cleanup with the state Department of Transportation.
Many states now allow persons in minimum-security facilities access to the
Internet.
我觀之我見
Lincoln Burrows
是一個有前科的人。通常人們都不會認(rèn)為前科累累的慣犯會改正做好人，所以他被選為誣陷的對象也是有充分理由的。問題是，你一個人不做好人可不僅僅是自己的事，你會害得老婆忍無可忍、和你離婚后還有被害的危險，你會害得孩子找不到依靠、走上墮落之路也說不定（上梁不正下梁歪嘛），你還會害得親人為了救你而以身犯險……誠可謂“后果不堪設(shè)想啊！”所以，廣大的男士們，看《越獄》后要學(xué)到的第一條不是“一定要學(xué)建筑學(xué)，以備不時之需”，而是一定要做個品學(xué)兼優(yōu)、德行無暇的好青年，這樣才能給親人帶來穩(wěn)定的安全感！
