Compare and contrast any three of them, addressing at a minimum 
the following (The trick is to integrate with text material for full
credit. Failure to do this won't raise the grade above C)

1) Programs and "amenities"
2) Security
3) Physical layout and architecture
4) "Soft time" / "Easy time"
5) Other issues of your choice that we have discussed and that you
   feel are important

1) Are these institutions the way you think prisons should be?
2) What would you change if you could?
3) Are the prisons consistent with what you instructor has said about
