The Importance Of Contradictions In The Prison System
Carceral, the author of Welcome to Enterprise and the chapter Orientation shows, the first thing the administration does to the inmates is strip them of their humanity. They are constantly being transferred from prison to prison without the consideration of their family. They are treated like "livestock" by being brought into the prison through the loading dock door, and are even beat upon entrance into the prison (Carceral, 2006).
