[Michell20537]

When I worked as a corrections officer in a maximum security prison in California, it was not my perception that white guys had a harder time than anyone else. There are a few distinct groups among the whites, like the bikers and the skinhead/white supremacists, but not everybody belonged to these groups. Other races have gangs of their own, but like I said, not everyone belongs to a gang. Some of the inmates are intimidated into joining these gangs because they are told that bad things will happen to them if they don’t. These gangs will offer the inmate ‘protection’ if they join the gang, but once they join they will be pressured to do things that they don’t necessarily want to do and end up getting more time. As far as how to handle a situation where the inmate is being targeted, he should stand up for himself and possibly ask the staff to be relocated to another housing unit. It is definitely not necessary to kill the aggressor. It would be a very short-sighted solution, and in fact, would make your friend’s situation a lot worse.
