Prison Reflection Essay
On 07/16/2017, at approximately 1803 hours, I saw a group of inmates front of cell 21 in Durnago 5 B pod. I immediately went inside the pod and saw Inmate Mendoza-Zamora, Luis T364150 and Inmate Fluker, Roy T313174 were involved in a fight in Durango 5 B-pod cell 21 located at 3225 W. Gibson Ln. Phoenix AZ 85009.

Both inmates were escorted to the Durango Medical Clinic separately by myself (Officer Mahmud B3801), where they refused to be evaluated by RN Michovich CH022.

I watched the video on 07/16/2017 at approximately 1815 hours, where it shows that at approximately 1803 hours inmate Fluker and Inmate Mendoza were exchanging punches in cell 21.

I interviewed Inmate Mendoza at approximately 1905 hours. I read his Miranda Rights from my MCSO issued Miranda Rights Card to Inmate Mendoza and asked if he understood his right. Inmate Mendoza said, “Yes." I asked Inmate Mendoza again if he would like to voluntarily answer my questions. Inmate Mendoza said, “I don’t want to say anything." …show more content…

    Salinas V Texas

    Upon arriving at the station Salinas was brought into a room where the police would usually conduct interrogations. It was made clear to Salinas that he was free to leave at any time and his Miranda warnings were not read to him. In other words, it was clear that this was a “noncustodial interview.” The interview lasted approximately one hour. For most of the interview Salinas answered the officers questions, but when asked if his shotgun would match the shells recovered at the scene of the murder he instead fell silent, “looked down at the floor, shuffled his feet, bit his bottom lip, clenched his hands in his lap, and began to tighten up.”…

    Arizona's Morey Unit Prevention and Mitigation Analysis

    Riots and disturbances in prisons are not a new phenomenon in the United States and in the past decades there has been a continuation of these destructive and violent events. The prison riot at a phenomenon can be used in a number of ways. The term riot can be defined as the act of inmates taking control of a significant portion of a prison or correctional center for a significant period of time (American Correctional Association, 2010). Also, the term disturbance is considered a step down from riot because there are fewer inmates involved and there is no control or minimal control of a small portion of the correctional facility by inmates (American Correctional Association, 2010). One of the longest prisoner riots in the history of the United States occurred at the Arizona State Prison Lewis Complex in the Morey Unit. Located in Buckeye, Arizona the Morey Unit is designed to hold 800 prisoners of various security levels from low, medium, too high. This situation in the Morey Unit started in the early morning of January 18, 2004 in the kitchen where two inmates overtook civilian kitchen staff and correctional officers with prison made knives and shanks. The inmates who initiated this hostage situation was Steven Coy and Ricky Wassenaar, during this 15 day standoff two correctional officers were taken hostage, one female and one male. During the standoff the correctional officers were assaulted physically and sexually, but were eventually released alive. This riot and disturbance in the Morey Unit started as an escape attempt inmates Coy and Wassenaar, and when that plan got skewed it then turned into a long hostage situation, during which they were able to gain access to a guard tower with rifles and ammunition. The Morey Unit hostage situation could have been mitigated with four major methods of improved security measures, proper amount of staff and training, more experienced officers, and reduced overcrowding.…

    Arizona vs Miranda

    Miranda was not given a full and effective warning of his rights. He was not told of his right to remain silent and his right to counsel. Miranda was found guilty of kidnaping and rape and was sentenced to 20-30 years imprisonment on each count. During the prosecution, Miranda’s court-appointed lawyer, Alvin Moore, objected that because of these facts, the confession was not truly voluntary and should be excluded. In the end of 1966, The Supreme Court, in a 5-4 decision written by Chief Justice Earl Warren, ruled that the prosecution could not introduce Miranda's confession as evidence in a criminal trial because the police had failed to first informs Miranda of his right to an attorney and against self-incrimination. The Supreme Court of Arizona detailed the principles governing police interrogation. Arizona ruled that detained criminal suspects, prior to police questioning, must be informed of their constitutional right to an attorney and against self-incrimination.…

    Individual Lipsuit: Case Study

    The defendant presented to the evaluation session dressed appropriately in a jail-issued jumpsuit. His approach to the interview process was initially cooperative as he entered the interview room in the professional visitation section of the ADC. He was able to state his name, date of birth, and age. However, as the interview continued, his behavior grew less cooperative and increasingly guarded. He did not engage in reciprocal communication with the examiner. When questions were posed, Mr. Brooks would pause for several minutes staring blankly at the evaluator while processing the question posed. He would then respond, “Say what?” or “What you say?” Often, questions had to be repeated three times before Mr. Brooks would answer. Even then, his answers were not adequate responses to the…

    Typologies of Interrogation Deception

    Different ways of interrogations are used by officers to deal with suspects. Most often we do not know what is going on inside the interrogation room. The main purpose of the interrogation is to get possible answers that pacify their need of evidence to the case. Police are most criticizes of their way handling interrogations during custodial questioning which often uses deception to get whatever evidence needed. According to Skolnick and Leo there are eight types of interrogations deceptions. Interview versus interrogate which is the most subtle way of deception. Most often overlooked strategy the police always employ on suspects. By telling the suspects that he is free and can leave any time thus engages him to voluntary answering of questions that otherwise be considered an interrogation into a non-custodial interview. Miranda Warning, in order for a questioning to be custodial, police recite their Miranda rights. This routinely delivered phrase is always delivered in a recital flat monotone of voice that makes this warning a bureaucratic ritual. Police sometimes used this warning to soften up suspects. The Court in Miranda that police cannot trick or deceive a suspect into waiving Miranda rights. The misrepresenting the nature or seriousness of the Offense which police exaggerate, overstate or understate the offense in order for the suspect to compel in answering questions during custody. Role playing where police play the role of a compassionate friend, bother or father figure who understands the suspect’s situation in order to have their trust then later on seek the opportunity to let the suspect confess for the good of the investigation. Misinterpreting the moral seriousness of the offense is the heart of the interrogation method that propounded by Inbau, Reid and Buckley’s influential police training manual. Police interrogating the case offer suspects excuses or moral justification for their misconduct by providing the suspect with an external attribution…

    Effective Interrogation Techniques

    Interrogation has proven to be an effective means of seeking information since it involves giving a suspect an opportunity to express him or herself to prove their innocence. The suspects, however, should be informed of their rights and the consequences based on the information they provide. Failure to this, any information acquired from a suspect is regarded as inadmissible as evidence in a court of law. The United States constitution provides a legal standard into how interrogations are conducted through rights such as the presence of counsel and right against self-incrimination. Despite the measures put to guide interrogation procedures, interrogation techniques have evolved from establishing a rapport with the suspect to outright torture. However, effective interrogation techniques should obtain the required information while preserving the rights of the suspect.…

So I tried to explain to him ‘I’m sorry, there is just no way I can represent you if you have a criminal record”…
