Answer to Question 1

Inmates are assessed when they enter prison to determine which treatment would be most effective. Some common classification systems used are risk assessment and needs assessment. The risk assessment is used to assign inmates to high-, medium-, and low-risk case loads. The needs assessment is used by staff to record prisoners' problems, as well as the magnitude of these problems. A common assessment used is the LSI-R.

Answer to Question 2

The role of treatment and services in prisons today is to provide opportunities for inmates to profit from confinement and to provide adequate, basic care of inmates. The goal of treatment is to correct an offender's character, habits, attitudes, or behaviors so they are less likely to engage in criminal behavior. Recent data have indicated that treatment can reduce recidivism if the offender completes the program and voluntarily enters the program. Some prisons had difficulty conducting the desired treatment they would like to provide because of overcrowded prisons and cutbacks on programming.

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
