Security Assessment

Directions:

Choose one of the Facts for Consideration sections from Ch. 3 of the text and list the page number for the section you chose. Then, complete the following table. List five threats appropriate to the environment from the section you chose. Rate the risk for each threat from 0 (low) to 10 (high). Then, list five appropriate countermeasures. Once you complete the table, write a brief explanation of the countermeasures for the two threats with the highest risk total, stating how the countermeasure reduces the risk associated with that threat.

This assessment is based on the Facts for Consideration on page __92__

Sit with the inmate while refueling.

With the inmate being so violent and unpredictable he could attack a security officer and that means that the officer needs to be alert and on guard at all times. Never turn your back. While refueling the transport van the inmate could kill another inmate so there should always be extra security as far as shackles and seat belts securing the inmate so he cannot maneuver. I first wanted to take this exercise as what the inmate would attempt to do if he escaped? Murder, rape, robbery, stealing a car, kidnapping, so I hope I went the right direction with this and took it as the what if factor before actually escaping.

    In a close security prison, offenders housed here are an escape/flight risk, they have histories of assaults, and an offender may be held there because of other charges pending for a different law enforcement agency, the offenders in this prison never leave to do anything outside of the prison and they are supervised 24 hrs a day by a correctional officer (“State Prisons,” 2013). These prisons are usually set up with single cells but have been doubled, they are divided into cell blocks that can be in one building or multiple buildings, they have remote controlled cell doors and every cell has its own plumbing fixtures (sink & toilet). The outside of the prison consists of a double fence, armed guards in the watch towers, and sometimes with armed moving patrols, often there is a third fence placed in the middle equipped with lethal electrical voltage. Inmates are permitted release from their cells for work or to join corrective programs within the prison (De Maille, 2007).…

    Deface your books. Have fun writing in them. Indulge yourself as you never could with your grade school books. The purpose of making marks in a text is to call out important concepts or information that you will need to review later. Be aware, though, that underlining a text with a pen can make underlined sections—the important parts—harder to read. As an alternative, many students underline in pencil or use colored highlighters to flag key words and sentences. Using a highlighter to mark key information can save lots of time when you are studying for tests.…

    When it comes down to watching a movie or reading a book, most people grab the DVD remote control quicker than you would think. The truth is that watching movies takes much less concentration and effort. In a world where people are looking for the easiest route to take, it makes sense that they would rather watch a movie than stimulate their brain mentally. So, a great reason not to watch movies is to find something better to do with your time.…

    The importance of reading

    • 510 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Reading has at all times and in all ages been a source of knowledge, of happiness, of pleasure and even moral courage. In today's world with so much more to know and to learn and also the need for a conscious effort to conquer the divisive forces, the importance of reading has increased. In the olden days if reading was not cultivated or encouraged, there was a substitute for it in the religious sermon and in the oral tradition. The practice of telling stories at bed time compensated to some extent for the lack of reading. In the nineteenth century Victorian households used to get together for an hour or so in the evenings and listen to books being read aloud. But today we not only read, we also want to read more and more and catch up with the events taking place around us. The various courses and classes being conducted in rapid reading support this belief.…
