The prison John Irwin chose as the site for his study was Solano State Prison. Solano State Prison is a prison that exercises technology of the latest mode and is quite popular within the criminology fraternity. It can house about 6000 prisoners and enjoys a security level of II and III in accordance to the California's range of custodies. "This book is about the contemporary "warehouse" and "supermax" prisons, how prisoners cope in these new prisons, and how they fare after release.5 I also attempt to explain why the United States has the world's largest prison system. To this end, I examined the role of punishment in society, the development of the prison as society's primary penal device, and the history of American prisons. A grasp of this history is necessary to understand prisoners' contemporary modes of adjustment to prison life." (Irwin, 2)

During the studies Irwin found out that longer termed prisoner i.e. prisoners sentenced more than 5 years were, though not brutalized, extensively harmed by the newer form of imprisonment. This form of penalizing the prisoners led to a future problem and the prisoners found it very difficult to coup up to the society outside the prison walls once they were released. It is obvious that there are no specific grudges against these prisoners and the newer form of penalties are all well researched and impeccably implemented but the end words keep proving against these prisoners. This could be termed as discrimination against the prisoners serving a longer sentence than 5 years but in reality it could be expressed as an experiment gone wrong.

Like most community linked organization, or in other words, organizations dealing with a lager number of members there bound to be some form of discrimination whether one likes it or not. But the ideal situation is to place the discrimination under a certain amount of check in order to yield a long termed fruit for the organization or, more often than not, to survive. Down the line of history there has not been a single instance in any society over every strata of governance where discrimination was not a part of the machinery. This is true for every imperial, capitalist, socialist, communist, dictatorial, anarchist, feudal or fundamental state. And prisons are no different devoid of their location - Algeria or America.

In American prisons this discrepancy comes out in different forms. They have their own priority based on the every sect of human differences. This can include age, sex, sexual preference, color, creed, belief, social stature- anything and maybe everything that could be taken into consideration. "Rules established by Supreme Court decisions were insignificant. We were able to demonstrate that escalation of punishment and the incapacitation of more and more "criminals" had little or no impact on crime rates. We also discovered that the majority of persons sent to prison in this punitive binge were charged with unserious felonies, crimes that would have received short county jail sentences or probation before the punitive era, and that the binge disproportionately incarcerated African Americans, other nonwhites, and women.
