1) right now I have a keyboard in front of me, this indicates my lifestyle which is centered around tech, I have religious books next to me, this indicates I am quite religious(this doesnt mean that everyone who reads religous texts are religious. dont get angry at me lol), I  am surrounded by legos which shows what a lego fan I am. I am also drinking a homemade smoothie right now which indicates I enjoy healthier drinks more than coffee or sugary juices.

2) A cultural stereotype is we are super religious, these situations exist because our ancestors played big roles in our religion. this can impact a group of people by making them follow a certain religion, this can impact people positiviley or negatively    

Explanation:

Intensive management unit refers to a prison within a prison for some of the state’s most violent and dangerous offenders.  it is generally defined as holding someone in a cell, typically for 22 to 24 hours a day, with minimal human interaction.

IMU facilities are also used as housing for inmates who themselves are in danger.

Since Dan Pacholke – founder of the Sustainability in Prison Project and former Secretary for Washington State Department of Corrections implemented IMU facilities in prisons in the 1980’s, things have become quieter. Disturbances died down in the general population. Places became safer because those inmates who were most violent or disruptive could be isolated.  

Restrictive housing has become a common tool for responding to all levels of rule violations, from minor to serious but being held in restrictive housing can result in significant negative effects. Solitary confinement can have lasting psychological effects on human beings and is now considered as cruel.

National and international organizations, including Human Rights Watch, have taken significant steps to reduce the use of restrictive housing.
