eight types of activities that combine to create a safe and
secure environment in a prison - ANSWER-1. Effective
inmate classification systems. The goal of an inmate
classification system is to separate offenders according to
,risk of violence and escape, and to match offender needs
with correctional resources. The physical security of a
prison should be designed to match these risks of violence
and escape.
2. Physical security within a prison. Prisons are
categorized as minimum-, medium-, or maximum-security
in terms of the physical security provided, including the
type of fences and perimeter security, housing, and
construction material used. Physical security also includes
the use of modern technology and physical barriers to
keep inmates in or out of certain locations within the
prison. Although many observers tend to over-rely on
physical security, more than that is required to have a safe
and secure prison, as prison design and technology
,"cannot substitute for well-trained staff and good security
practices...."
3. Consistently implemented security policies and
procedures. The importance of professionally developed
and consistently implemented policies and procedures for
controlling inmate behavior was noted previously. The
performance of sound security practices is one of the most
critical elements in accomplishing security and custody
within a prison.

are allowed to move from one prison location to another
for much of the normal day. Yet these movements must be
established in a manner that allows staff to maintain
inmate accountability at any time during the day.
, 5. Control of contraband items. There are several items
that inmates are not allowed to possess (called
contraband), including items that can assist in an escape,
are dangerous, can sabotage or subvert prison physical
security, or create an unhealthy or unsanitary condition.
