文化面面观  Prisons in the United States 美国的监狱

Medium security
Prisoners that fall into the medium-security group may sleep in dormitories on bunk beds with lockers to store their possessions. They may have communal showers, toilets and sinks. Dormitories are locked at night with one or more correctional officers supervising, there is less supervision over the internal movements of prisoners. The perimeter is generally double fenced and regularly patrolled.

Minimum security
Prisoners in minimum-security facilities are considered to pose little physical risk to the public, and are mainly non-violent "white collar criminals". Minimum Security prisoners live in less-secure dormitories, which are regularly patrolled by correctional officers. As in medium security facilities, they have communal showers, toilets, and sinks. Martha Stewart was a minimum-security inmate at "Camp Cupcake" in West Virginia.

A minimum-security facility generally has a single fence that is watched, but not patrolled by armed guards. At facilities in very remote and rural areas, there may be no fence at all. Prisoners may often work on community projects, such as roadside litter cleanup with the state Department of Transportation. Many states now allow persons in minimum-security facilities access to the Internet.

我观之我见

Lincoln Burrows 是一个有前科的人。通常人们都不会认为前科累累的惯犯会改正做好人，所以他被选为诬陷的对象也是有充分理由的。问题是，你一个人不做好人可不仅仅是自己的事，你会害得老婆忍无可忍、和你离婚后还有被害的危险，你会害得孩子找不到依靠、走上堕落之路也说不定（上梁不正下梁歪嘛），你还会害得亲人为了救你而以身犯险……诚可谓“后果不堪设想啊！”所以，广大的男士们，看《越狱》后要学到的第一条不是“一定要学建筑学，以备不时之需”，而是一定要做个品学兼优、德行无暇的好青年，这样才能给亲人带来稳定的安全感！
