I am going to talk about prisons in UK and in Lithuania. The mane difference between these country is that in UK are about 160 jails and in Lithuania just one prison. Firstly, I want to talk about UK prisons.
There are more than 85.000 prisoners. More than 17.000 prisoners were sentenced for violent crimes, 10.000 were found guilty of drug offences and about 8.500 of burglary. Many jails have more prisoners than their target limit. In early 2007, some prisoners were being held in court and police cells because jails were full.
RECEPTION AND FIRST NIGHT. All prisoners pass through reception, which is responsible for checking identies and motoring numbers. New arrivals are seen by a nurse in order to check their healf and those coming of drugs. ACCOMODATION. Accomodation varies between prisons ranging form from dormitories to cells. A tipical ring will include reacreation areas, showers and food survey. Cells have toilets and are allowed to have TV. EXERCISE. All prisoners have sport facilities to encourage exercise and good healf. The gym is used by about 70% of prisoners.
The rights and freedoms of prisoners are determined by several factors. First, prisoners are bound by Prison Rules. They are also categorised according to there security risk and depending on this categirisation, restrictions may be placed on their freedom.
Now I want to talk about Lithuania. There is one jail Lukiskes which was built in 1904. There are kept men and women. Some of the prisoners are sentenced to life imprisonmet. As I heard, now there are about 90 prisoners who are sentenced to life imprisonment.
In my opinion, prisoners have quite good living conditions: they can have TV, computer, radio in there cells, also there are bed, toilet and other accomodation. EDUCATION. All prisoners have access to education. They can study at university, get books and learn from them.
According to prisons category it depends how much freedom they have. If they are in a simple caregory they can be visited by family members, have more phone calls and have other freedoms.
So it can be stated that prisons in UK and in Lithuania have some similarities and differences too.
