There is another world inside prison which no one would know other than prisoners and the people who controls the prison. Being a prisoner is never a good thing but it enhances that flavor when they were to put on abuse and drugs for experiment. Courtesy of Tony Hatch’s presentation in our class and this course gave me a brief idea what is really going on inside prison which i would never think about. I personally think this is one of those rare issue that people barely talk about more like colorblind racism. According to my article which i was given in class titled ” Sterilization Abuse in State Prisons” it talked about “148 female prisoners in two California institutions were sterilized between 2006 and 2010”.  I think we learned so much about prisoners and their harsh treatment inside the prison.

Tony Hatch’s presentation brought a whole new idea which was “Psychotropic drugs” which is  known as prescribed medication. Often times these are great way to keep prisoners mouth shut and and they also become part of experiment. The prescribers often put a title of mental illness and make prescribe them this drugs which makes them even worse. Prisoners in this case are helpless and no one would hear their opinion since they are controlled by prison officials and they too would not do anything. So where is the catch? The catch is money involved on everything. The more they can keep prisoners locked down the more money they will earn as a team.

This chart shows the use of prescribed drugs on different settings

In this above chart shows the different amount of psychotropic drugs use on a different settings. About 60 percent of them are used in group home or residential home which also tie to the prisoners since they are in a group in prisons.

We really need to bring these unfair treatment thats been going on for years inside the prison and no one seems to talk or bring these issues up in the media.
