You are a warden at a large prison. What reforms would you propose to reduce the disparities between Latinos and other groups in your facility?
What will be an ideal response?
Varies. A sample answer follows. First, I would find out how many of the prisoners speak Spanish proficiently but speak little English. If my prison had more than 10% Spanish-speaking inmates, I would make it a requirement to have bilingual programming. I would offer a cash bonus to any existing staff members who could pass a Spanish proficiency test, and I would make Spanish proficiency a top priority in new hires. Also, I would contact members of the Spanish-speaking community and find out how to get more bilingual volunteers to participate in prison programs, either in person or through Skype or a similar service.
In addition, I would find out what percentage of Latinos receive disciplinary infractions and spend time in solitary confinement. If Latinos are receiving disproportionate punishment for minor offenses, I would discuss this with my staff and order a retraining program if necessary.
