Content: What problems are encountered in vocational training programs? Too many programs train inmates for trades for which there is already an adequate labor supply or in which the skills are outdated. They are inefficient because of the low education level and poor work habits of the prisoners. Production has to be stopped for periodic head counts and checks on tools and materials. Why have legislatures restricted prison industries? Pressures from labor unions whose members make competing products at higher wages. Which inmate characteristics are thought to be factors in prison violence? Age, attitudes, and race. Why are gangs such a threat to prison order? Gang wards continue on the inside.
