Is it true that when you're arrested, you're placed in a prison and your chances of being brutalized are high?

You aren't usually place in prison while awaiting trial. You are usually held in the city or county jail until your sentencing. This may not be true for hanus crimes I don't think. But if you are in prison, your chances of being brutalized depend on your personality, and the nature of your crime. Prisoners usually go after Sexual Offenders, Gang members, White Sumpremacists. Normally when you keep to yourself, everyone leaves you alone.

No.  You are not eligible for government benefits while incarcerated.

My opinion is that if people r put in prison, some may just come of with an even worse attitude than they had when they went in. Look at recidivism rates.......

Very doubtful. They will most likely arrest you when you go to get it.

No it's not, if they arrest your they have to read you your rights, and sometimes they do that at court.

I don't believe the crime rate is higher.  What I do believe, and know, is that the ARREST RATE is higher.  \n\nHowever, just because you are arrested does not mean you will be convicted.  Also, the statistics vary for region to region.  For example, the highest arrest rate here in Phoenix, Arizona is people of the Mexican ethniticity.  Why, simple because of the higher percentage of Mexicans in the area.  \n\nI will say, however, that non-whites are arrested more frequently because they meet the imaginary "profile" of the criminal.  Not fair, but true.  It will take years of teaching our children not to be prejudiced to turn this kind of thinking around.  I hope I live to see that, but I probably won't.

I work in a medium/maximum security jail.  I have my good days and my bad days.  The pay and benefits are okay, but it is a hard and opressive place to work.  I have a very sad view of society.

Yeah, they can pretty much do what ever they want. Right now my brother is sitting in jail because an officer said he kicked a car door into his leg. This is considered assault on an officer, and that is a felony. If he is convicted he could serve 2 to 10 years. It sucks because we can't do anything about it, and it is all because this officer wants to lie.

I don't beleive you.\n\nThe people this happens to, gets the ACLU and they sue the jail.\n\nYou contact the ACLU and report it.\n\nAnd most police and correction officers are honest people and would report these if they had to.\n\nWhile a rape does happen every now and then normally the officer is fired or punished and life goes on.\n\nIt is possible that you are believeing jail house lies that most inmates talk trash about the jails.

Yes. \nHarm is done by not correcting thoughts and actions. they are termed correctional facilities but with the violence and negative attitude you are continually subjected to do not improve or, correct, behaviors and attitudes.\nGood is done only when someone who has the ability on their own to understand change in attitude and behavior and never wants to go back and takes the necessary step to change their life, unfortunately that is a small majority.

No person is worth waiting around for who is in jail.  They will only bring you down or get you in trouble later.  There are a ton of people out there who will love you all the same that aren't in jail and won't get you arrested later.
