Given what you know about inmate populations, including the high levels of violence found in many facilities, and the restrictions and living conditions associated with Special Housing Units, or SHUs, do you think that SHUs are a good solution to the
realities of life in state prisons today? Why or why not?
Answers will vary but should demonstrate an understanding of the types of prisoners housed in SHUs as well as the nature of the restrictions placed on the activities of such prisoners. Answers should demonstrate an understanding of the effects of these units, on individual inmates confined in them as well as on the prison as a whole, including levels of violence and disruption.
