prison violence

Prison violence refers to aggressive or harmful actions among inmates or between inmates and staff within correctional facilities. It often stems from factors such as overcrowding, gang rivalries, lack of effective supervision, and stressful conditions. Violence can include fights, assaults, or even killings, creating unsafe environments that hinder rehabilitation efforts. Addressing prison violence requires comprehensive strategies like improved security, mental health support, and programs promoting conflict resolution to reduce risks and ensure safety for all.
