Nick Berger Super Max Prison
The Super Max Prison has good intentions for severe punishment of criminals however, it may have taken everything to the extermities. The rules set at this prison have cut off all contact that the prisoners have to the outside world or even life itself. By not allowing a prisoner to interact or even see outside, he will learn nothing more because the ways of knowing are completely cut off. They will never know anything by language once they enter the prison because they do not interact with other people or watch television. They have no way of using their language to know certain events or ideas. Perception, which is another way of knowing is also shut down because by sitting in a closed off room for 23 hours every day, the prisoner has nothing to perceive because he comes in contact with nothing else or anybody else besides the few objects that are in his cell. I believe that this prison has gone too far in trying to punish these prisoners because it leaves them with absolutely nothing rather than the usual less than they had before.
