Seriously though, all common areas like cafeteria, yard, etc., should have booths or towers where rubber bullets can be dispensed as necessary. Since you can’t keep them separated I think more than a disciplinary report is needed as a penalty for fighting. A month added to time would help, I think, for every altercation, be it with staff or another inmate. Since tasers & nightsticks are out, maybe pepper spray like a woman would carry.

CCI seems to have a big problem on it’s hands, that must be addressed.

We have a choice: Kill them all (which is a bit drastic, don’t you think?), or lock up the less egregious offenders and provide them medical care when they need it. Otherwise, they’ll be out roaming the streets. So, if you don’t want them on the streets, your tax dollars are going to go to support their needs (not wants) in prison. It’s a payoff. You can’t have it both ways – lock them up but not paying for it is not a workable solution. It’s also a bit ludicrous to suggest that we should kill them all.

I agree that prisons can and should be run more efficiently, but not to the detriment of the officers and non-violent inmates.
