How prisons deal with new inmates

Amy Worden, press secretary for the state Department of Corrections, said new inmates go through an evaluation process that lasts between weeks and months to determine which prison is best suited for each inmate. They evaluate the inmate's needs and programs, along with his health issues, she said.


The state prison system has geriatric inmates, and most of their prisons are compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act. There are also varying degrees of medical facilities across the system. For example, SCI Laurel Highlands offers nursing home-like care for inmates that need it and can even do dialysis on site.



At his sentencing on Monday, Cosby's defense attorneys worried that Cosby's age, vision impairment and declining health could make him a target.


"Incarceration would impose excessive hardship on him given his disability and his age," attorney Joseph P. Green said. "How does he fight off people who are trying to extort him for a walk to the mess hall?"


Worden said Cosby's situation wouldn't be different from other inmates. As part of the overall evaluation, evaluators will decide if Cosby should be in the general population or in protective custody......................

1. That doesn't look like a friendly place.

I hope he is miserable.

2. Realistically

any inmate in Riker's Island would pay a BJ and a pint of scotch to trade places. Fuck Him.

3. Cosby has never uttered any remorse as far as I know. He will have company

with others in prison who insist they are innocent.

BTW--the facility just opened this summer according to the video.

4. A sad end for him. Also an end he deserves.

6. Cosby claims* to be blind, so he can't see his surroundings anyway. It's good enough for him.

*although he was able to mysteriously recognize someone in the crowd outside the courtroom and acknowledge him with a finger point.

7. That is the brand new replacement for the old Graterford (State) Prison

It literally just opened a few months ago and prisoners have been transferred there in phases...
