Statistics have shown that many prisoners in prisons try to break out and some are successful in their attempts in the United States. The main reason they escape is because they are not willing to spend a lot of their life time behind bars and they mostly succeed because the prisoner partition holding them are not usually strong enough to keep them in. The whole essence of keeping prisoners in jails is lost when they escape, since they are supposed to stay in prison to be kept out of the society for correctional purposes.
Even the most peaceful and calmest person develops irrational behavior when held in a confined place and that is why prisoners think of escaping and becoming fugitives instead of waiting for their term to be over and become free citizens again. Escape is not the only challenge in prisons; fatal fights and suicides happen within the cells as well. Most of the weapons used to carry out these in-prison crimes are improvised from within the prison.
Suicides in the prisons can be avoided if the partition is taken through quality checks to ensure whatever is inside it, a suicidal prisoner can't use to commit suicide. Any sharp object that can be used to cut arms as a way of suicide or any other way that it can be done should totally be avoided in the making of the partitions. Safe partitions can be costly, but it is way expensive to let a life be lost.
Crucial safety measures, such as automated lockdown of partitions, should be available. It is almost impossible to have large numbers of prisoners in same facility and expect not to have chaos within that facility once in a while. Without lockdown systems, these people can easily overpower the security personnel in the facility and escape.
Digging through or under walls is one of the commonest way of escaping from prisons. Planning for these escapes takes even years and happens without the knowledge of officers since it is done slowly by slowly in the partitions at night when no one can suspect it. Using very strong materials to make these partitions solves this problem.
Self contained partitions are best for prisons where different enemy groups' prisoners are held to ensure that the prisoners will not be meeting at the common washrooms, since they have a washroom in the partition. This reduces chances of fights. It also makes it possible to isolate violent prisoners or isolate sick prisoners in the case of disease outbreak.
The about 68% of the 309 on average prison escapes recorded in a year, happen when in transportation. There is no way transportation of prisoners can be done away with since there are constant inter-prison transfers on daily basis and new prisoners taken to prison each day. The only way around this worrying statistics is to ensure the partitions in the transport vehicles are high quality in order to avoid escapes.
The government has to protect the lives of the officers involved in keeping prisoners in prison by creating safe prison partitions. During escape, prisoners will kill or injure any officer who tries to stop them. The stress the officers have already should not be worsened by fears of prison breaks.
