• Inmates who committed serious crimes are separated from other inmates

• Enforcement of set tasks within the prisons

• Possibility of extension of term if caught misbehaving

• solitary confinement

• Forfeiture of letters and visits

• Punishment and reward system - punished for not following rules and rewarded for good behaviour

• By removing their freedom in jail

Qn 2)

• prison built on an island with no fences

• however, there will be patrol ships around the island that will shoot whoever that enters the seas to escape

• landmines surrounding the island

• if they manage to escape the landmines and shooting then they shall be granted freedom

• prisoners self regulate themselves (based on Arkansas Jail). for e.g. inmates to share phone call time, but if anyone creates trouble then everyone to return to their cell and NO PHONE TIME FOR ANYONE

Being isolated and locked up for long, prisoners will need to find their own form of entertainment to keep them occupied

2. Basic Amenities

• Chair & Table for comfort and having a place to seat

• Proper bed to sleep in

3. Separate new and repeated Offenders

• To not cause conflicts as one group might feel more authoritative over the other

  
  

4. Maintain an enhanced therapy sessions

• Targets specifically the root causes of these prisoners and why they commit them

• Have a better understanding of their personal issues

• To reduce recidivism

5. Add more Recreational Time

• Up to 2 hours, allows more time for prisoners to reflect and have time out away from being in a confined and limited space

In Singapore: They are given basic needs like meals (3 times a day - Based on a dietician’s recommendation), necessities (Kit box, clothing, toiletries etc) and medical care (In-house clinics)

In order to ensure respect for the disciplinary regime, Detainees must be informed of their rights and must receive a copy of internal regulations in a language they understand which must specify how disciplinary procedures work and rights of the detainees regarding this procedure. - Association for the prevention of torture 

In America: When inmates fight with other inmates, talk back to a guard or get caught with a pack of cigarettes, they will be placed in solitary confinement

Using of force such as beating to instil discipline into inmates

Our ideal prison settings leans more towards the reformative part of the process. More opportunities for inmates to improve themselves by taking courses and working, and to keep themselves busy so that they will be less likely to cause 

Have a programme where inmates can work and attend courses:

• Creating a work and earn programme for prisoners where they are sent to do labour work during the day while being supervised, this helps to give prisoners more opportunity while contributing to the nation’s economy.

• Have a programme where inmates can attend courses that aligns with their hobbies (Baking, sewing, photography etc)

But, if the inmates misbehaviour, they will be taken out of the programme (Punishment for not complying with the rules)

Local context

• Removal of privileges, delayed release and delayed programmes, punishment cells, caning

• Strip them of their privileges.

Global context

• Example: Mexico’s Federal Prison, “Five-Star Hell”

• Rummage through inmate’s belongings, kick body parts, break fingers, electrically shock their private parts

Question 2

• Surveillance: 100% CCTV coverage with AI capabilities to detect aggressive behaviours, in a panopticon designed prison

• Rehabilitation: More programmes for rehabilitation and reintegration

• Open door concept to foster community and self-discipline

• Fortnightly drills for evacuation and emergency contingency

• Black dolphin prison- confined space, for punishment

• to still remain strict in terms of the punishments for the inmates

• encourage more assimilation/reintegration back into society before the release of longer term serves

• enhance therapy sessions to target root causes of prisoners

• ensure that prisoners who have committed related/similar crimes to be as separated as possible.

• 24/7 surveillance

• encouraging more work to keep inmates busy

surveillance camera- provide offenders the threat of being watched all times. Enhance them to obey the system works in the prison.

2) Increase the yard time to 2 hours per day. This allows to improve the welfare and restrict less freedom.

Don't serve meals on the ground. This is ill-mannered & disrespectful to offenders.

B) For the basic human rights for prisoners, perhaps for the lack of privacy when using the toilet, there can be those sliding doors that are shown in K-dramas but with a window on the door so that the prison guards will still be able to see what they’re doing. Additionally, have like those open locker concept in those K-dramas, to have a more personalised environment where they can read newspapers (not books! Those hard cover copies can be a weapon!). It can help the prisoners have a form of rehabilitation in their own prison cell instead of spending hours doing nothing. The rehabilitation programme like workshops should also be instilled as it is useful for prisoners to be able to re-enter society easily and attain jobs. As most of them miss out a lot on society’s progression like in terms of technology advancement.

1. How are inmates disciplined:

• Privilege is given as a means to control their behavior – e.g., 1 hour of yard time daily

  
  

• Regular interview for early release – give inmates something to look forward to

  
  

• Organized regime/routine – e.g., daily check of room which deters them from misdemeanors

  
  

• Governmentality has fostered mindset against bribery – we are raised in a society where corruption is very foreign, hence it is out of the norm to commit

2. Ideal Prison Setting

• Impose stricter regimentation and punishment for flouting prison rules
