Violence in Institutions: Understanding, Prevention and Control

MAY CONTAIN MARKUP

Marnie E. Rice, Grant T. Harris, George W. Varney and Vernon L. Guinsey

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “From the outset, it was intended to provide maximum security in that patients were to be prevented from escaping. Some of the precautions that were part of "maximum security" in the early days were learned from other institutions, and were incorporated into the architecture and the hospital routine from the beginning. In the early years there were some escapes and some suicides, which led to such increases in security as safety screens for windows, posting staff around the yard, guardhouses, lear gas guns, and reduction of the size of the outside work gang.

As in most maximum security psychiatric facilities, the patients in Oak Ridge today are a diverse group. Some of them have only been sent on a warrant of remand for 30 or 60 days for an assessment prior to retuming to court…”
