As pointed out in this chapter's "Think About It . . ." box, modern-day jails are designed to be more accommodating with comfortable furnishings and ample lighting. This strategy is thought to encourage good behavior and caretaking by the inmates. Discuss the potential benefits and possible problems when placing inmates in such an environment.

Answers will vary. Key points mentioned should include the benefits of providing a more normal environment for persons who have not yet been found guilty of anything (most people in jail are simply awaiting trial) and a note that research finds a decrease in property destruction and reduced levels of vandalism in new-generation jails. Problems include the possible perception by the public that inmates are being pampered rather than deterred and that retribution is not being obtained.
