What is the prisoner doing?

The prisoner, often also called a corrective officer or a Galer, is responsible for the monitoring and care of prisoners at the level of local administration. These prisoners are usually held for a short time while waiting for trial, convicted of minor crimes, or will soon be taken to prison for long -term imprisonment. Other duties of common prisoners include the submission of paperwork of prisoners, their transport to and from the court and watching visitors who come to visit the prisoners. Because a prison holding a prisoner for one year or less is usually established, a much higher number of detained prison systems is processed than through prisons. OOH estimate for the number of Americans in prison since 2010 is 1, 600,000.

Although the prisoner has the power to prisoners and must maintain an order within the limits of prison, in the US and other countries they have no obligations of enforcement of law outside prison. It is not an individual's oaths such asState police officers who are obliged to comply with civil laws. In this respect, they often share many obligations of the local administration official, where they have to suspicious fingerprints in the criminal judiciary, photograph and process suspects. They also serve prisoners of food, look for weapons or other smuggled smugglers, and are assured that they devote their medical needs to.

demand for gaolers or prison is usually dependent on the predilection of society in individuals' imprisonment. US figures per capita are much larger than most other industrial nations, which makes the occupation of a prison growing in the US with an estimates by an 9% increase in the prison field between 2008 and 2018. The 2008 study was reported by 751 people in the US for every 100,000 people in the population; While in Russia, with another highest imprisonment on the list, 627 people were 100,000. Other comparable nations had a much lower imprisonment and therefore much less demand for prisons, with England imprisoned 151 per 100,000people, Germany 88 per 100,000 and Japan with 63 per 100,000.

The duties of local prison are also dependent on how overcrowded the system is, as the prisoner can also be responsible for foreign nationals in custody. In early 2011, Romania began to inform other members of the European Union that it had no room for Romanian citizens in prison in other EU countries to be transported back to Romania. The right of the European Union allows prisoners to retain a prisoner in a foreign nation to perform their punishment in their home country, near the family. Romanian citizens in prison, Spain and France, as well as Germany, the United Kingdom and Austria, applied for all transfers back to local Romanian prison.
