In male prison systems the amount of people in them is astonishing, in the USA there is over 2 million males in today's prisons. The social life in male prisons is complicated, it is split into gangs that are all made up of your race. The social system is a constant proving ground to show you are not weak so you aren't a target. In male prisons mentally ill patients are treated cruelly and are receiving unfair treatment, they don't receive proper medication and treatment due to them being thrown in prisons rather than mental health hospitals. The guards at a prison face many struggles everyday they need to watch over all the inmate to ensure everyone's safety, make sure they aren't trying to escape, and even protect themselves from harm. I personally think the male prisons should be a bit more harsh on the inmates as in less time with contact and keep these gangs from forming inside the prisons. In the video gang violence in prisons is the biggest problem and to separate and keep these gangs from forming would help.
