The Control Model in a Mega-Prison: Governing Prisons in Taiwan

Through an examination of regime and authority structures, this article explores the successful management of a large inmate population in one Taiwanese prison and demonstrates that the control model borrowed from the West appears to work better in Taiwan than in the U.S. Through observation, sampling, examination of documentation, and extensive interviews of staff and inmates, a picture emerges of a management system that, perhaps ironically, appears to better exemplify George Beto's Texas control-oriented philosophy of prison management than that in Western facilities.
