Based on the class lectures and discussions, videos we watched in class and the articles provided under this assignment develop a well-organized 2-3 page double spaced essay that discussed the causes and impact (short-term and long-term) of the Attica riots. Please make sure to address the following issues in you essay:
• what caused the riot • why the Attica riot is so well known and has become a "battle cry" for prisoners • what were the short-term impacts of the riot on prisons, corrections offices and
the overall prison system • what were the long-term impacts of the riot on prisons, corrections offices and
the overall prison system • what lessons were learned from the riots (if any) • what was the successes and failures relate to the riot • how does Attica of the 1970 compare with Attica of today • what if anything still needs to be done today to fix things? Be specific in your
suggestions.
