10. Prison Life

11. The key element of the prison experience is the classification of incoming inmates. This is the systematic processing of a new inmate by establishing a program of treatment, and indicating the privileges to be allowed and the restrictions to be imposed
Most inmates are given a job in the prison and are paid a small wage, however, inmates are not allowed to keep money and are given an account, which the prison oversees
