the behavior of the inmates for problems. While it may be easier for those in charge to leave the inmates in lock-down, it is more dangerous to do so activities
are important to keep everyone moving and not focusing on getting themselves in trouble. When there are problems within the inmate population, there are more financial problems for states and
countries. Providing entertainment and visitation rights are key (Ruddell & Mays, 2007). While activities help keep everyone safe in prison, it still does
not alleviate the overcrowding problem. Perhaps if we moved non-violent prisoners into places that could help them and then help others, we could save millions on what it would cost
to keep these people in prison. Some people who are in prison could be helped for substance abuse or mental problems. If we can find help for these people, perhaps
it could be cheaper than shoving them in an already-full cell to sit and ponder ways to get out. Why this Problem Exists In 2007, a survey showed that
there were roughly 1,775 jails in U.S. towns with less than 100 beds, and this is down from 2,821 about 20 years prior (Ruddell & Mays, 2007). This decrease of
beds in jails places more pressure on prisons to take inmates who really should not be there. Those who are crammed into small jails are also considered to be more
violent and more likely to commit suicide. A part of the reason behind the cut of smaller jails in rural areas can be attributed to unreported crimes (Ruddell & Mays,
