Prison Population Nowadays prisoners are kept in separate institutions according to the severity of crime committed, as well as to the age, sex and other conditions. Consequently, the inmates include unconvicted prisoners, juvenile delinquents, women prisoners, recidivists and life-sentence prisoners. Most prisoners serving longer sentences are held in correctional institutions, which are usually large maximum-security buildings holding offenders in conditions of strict security. Young offenders are usually detained in reformatories, often designated under names that imply that their purpose is treatment or correction rather than punishment. Women are normally held in separate prisons. Prisoners who are not considered a danger to the community may be confined in low-security or open prisons. What are the main categories of inmates? Where are long-term prisoners usually held? What is the purpose of reformatories? What are open prisons? Задание №6. Объясните значение следующих слов и выражений на английском языке. Переведите их на русский язык. Unconvicted prisoner Juvenile delinquent Recidivist Life-sentence prisoner Задание №7. Прочитайте текст и ответьте на вопросы по тексту. Prisoners' Rights The idea that a prisoner has rights that may be protected by actions in the courts has been developed in Europe and the United States. In England, in the absence of a written constitution, prisoners resorting to the courts have relied on the general principles of administrative law, which require fair procedures by disciplinary bodies. Although many actions brought by prisoners have been unsuccessful, prison disciplinary procedures have been improved as a result of such litigation. In the U.S. actions brought under provisions of the U.S. Constitution (notably the Eight and the Fourteenth amendments) establish that prisoners are entitled to the protection of the Constitution. Early U.S. court decision ruled that prisoners had forfeited all of the rights enjoyed by free citizens. Eventually, the courts recognized certain rights and legal remedies available to prisoners, who may now file their own suites, have direct access to the federal courts, and file writs of Habeas Corpus and mandamus. Under Habeas Corpus the prisoner may request release, transfer, or another remedy for some aspect of confinement. Mandamus is a command issue by a court directing a prison administrator to carry out a legal responsibility - to provide a sick prisoner with medical care, for example - or to restore "the prisoners' rights that have been illegally denied. Prisoners have sought remedies for many problems, including relief from unreasonable searches, release from solitary confinement, and the procuring of withheld mail. Recent decisions have indicated, however, that the courts are now willing to limit legal writs by prisoners in deference to the security requirements of the prison. 1.What rights do prisoners enjoy in Europe and the United States? 2.What is Habeas Corpus and mandamus? 3.Why are the courts now willing to limit prisoners' access to the federal courts in the United States?
