About Christopher Zoukis, MBA

Content: Prisons are loud places. This is just a fact of life. When there are no walls to block the loud inmates from the quiet inmates, the quiet inmates will suffer at the hands of the louder ones. This can become particularly troublesome when one considers that this noise can carry on into the early hours of the morning. Privacy is the other primary con with the dorm setting. Everything the inmate does is seen by others. This includes showering (the same as with cell settings), using the bathroom, changing their clothes, and even sleeping. But what is perhaps even more troublesome than being exposed to tens, if not hundreds, of strangers is the fact that other inmates can see what everyone else owns and have greater access to others’ property. Thus, theft is much more prevalent in a dorm setting than in a cell setting. Simply put, in the dorm setting a sense of personal security is lost.
