The Truth About Prisoner Partition

By Deanne Shepard


The world is filled with rules. In fact, there often seems to be one for every action. There are certain guidelines every individual needs to follow so as not to cause any problems to others who share the same space and areas as you do. These regulations are to be followed by everyone to avoid any problems.

These laws are made entirely to keep everyone safe, and is in no way created to suppress certain rights. This is why people really take these guidelines to heart and avoid all instances where they may be tempted to break out of line. But, there will always be others who might be pushed to cross the set limits, for reasons not entirely known. If these happens, the wrongdoer is transported immediately to the appropriate facility along with many others, separated from each other by prisoner partition.

The person who is sent to prison is then called a prisoner. He can be also called as a detainee, could also be an inmate. The public fear them, because they believe that most inmates have committed crimes against humanity in cold blood. What they do not know is the fact that not all people inside the said facility are bad.

In actuality, not all prisoners are criminals. After all, the court believes in the innocence of a human being until his innocence is proven otherwise. They could be waiting for their date of trial, the date when they will have the final decision from the judge. Those who are not guilty may leave and carry on, while those who are convicted are to serve their sentence.

Some prisoners who have committed small scale crimes can be detained for a relatively shorter period, where as those who have committed far more serious ones may have to spend more time away from their loved ones. There are those who may have to stay for a couple of years, and there are those who have to stay for even ten or more. There are even some who are doomed to stay inside forever.

But, there will also be times where these inmates have to be taken from one place to the next. This act of transfer can be due to the decision of those in power, but it could also be due to the request of the inmate himself. Sometimes some of them are moved to a more heavily guarded cell, especially if the detainee is pretty much high profile.

Overpopulation can play a great role for these transfers. Some cells may have reached their limits and could not welcome yet another, which is why they are placed somewhere else. Safety could be another factor. Those who are considered highly dangerous needs to transfer to a facility that is equipped enough to hold a high profile criminal.

There could also be various outside trips that entail the inmate to return during a set time. They could be temporarily allowed to go outside for very valid reasons. These reasons could include a trip to the hospital, or a trip to the court.

Since these trips can be potentially dangerous, the police have placed various safety measures to ensure a safe journey. They often place handcuffs and leg irons to inmates. They also place partitions, in the event when they have to carry more than one person along for the ride.
