What will be an ideal response?
• Maximum security institutions are designed and organized to control and discipline dangerous felons, as well as to prevent escape. These facilities are characterized by intense supervision, concrete walls, and electrically charged, barbed wire fences.
• Supermax prisons are reserved for those inmates who have extensive records of misconduct in maximum-security prisons. These facilities are characterized by extremely strict control and supervision over inmates, including extensive use of solitary confinement.
• Medium security prisons house less dangerous inmates and therefore use less restrictive measure to prevent violence and escapes.
• Minimum security prisons are designed to allow inmates, most of whom pose low security risks, a great deal of freedom of movement and contact with the outside world.
