Overview
In this assignment, you will explore the intake process, the administrative needs of prisons, and how these two intersect with the rights of prisoners in state or federal prisons.

Prompt
Prison populations require different people and processes to effectively manage the prisoners in their charge. In this journal, you will explore the intake process, the administrative needs of prisons, and how these two intersect with the rights of prisoners in state or federal prisons.

First, choose a prison type to focus on. Choose either state or federal.

Next, explore the intake process for prisoners in this type of prison. Describe this process in 50 to 100 words.

Then, describe the administrative needs these prisons have. In 100 to 150 words, answer each of the following:

What types of personnel are needed to effectively run this prison type?
Are there populations of prisoners within this institution that require specific care?
What resources are or should be made available to administrators?
What resources are or should be made available to prisoners?
Finally, in 100 to 150 words, describe how these processes and administrative needs affect the rights of prisoners.

Specifically, you must address the following rubric criteria:

Choose a prison type.
Describe the intake process for prisoners in chosen prison type.
Describe the administrative needs within this prison type.
Describe how processes and administrative needs affect the rights of prisoners.
