Compare and contrast the inmate balance and administrative control theories on prison riots
What will be an ideal response?
Inmate balance theory states that riots and other forms of collective violence occur when prison officials make an abrupt effort to take control of the prison and limit freedoms. This abrupt effort or crackdowns occur when officials perceive that inmate leaders have too much power and take measures to control their illicit privileges, such as gambling or stealing food. On the other hand administrative control theory states that collective violence is caused by prison mismanagement, lack of strong security, and inadequate control by prison officials. Repressive administrations give inmates the feeling that nothing will ever change, that they have nothing to lose, and that violence is the only means for change.
