Dig into the Attica Prison Rebellion, where prisoners took control of the facility in response to inhumane living conditions, and the violent retaking that followed.
--
On September 9th 1971, a spontaneous uprising began in a New York State prison. A group of prisoners overpowered guards, broke windows, started fires, and captured supplies, sparking the Attica Rebellion. Soon, over 1,200 prisoners had assembled with 42 hostages to demand better treatment and better living conditions. Orisanmi Burton details the revolt and deadly retaking of Attica prison.
Lesson by Orisanmi Burton, directed by Tomás Pichardo-Espaillat.

Something that wasn't mentioned in the video was that the prisoners didn't attack guards that treated them with respect (There weren't that many), so even when the prisoners were in power, they still had mercy unlike the majority of the prison guards.

This case is an argument for why empathy is humanity's best quality. You can't create a good community without viewing situations from different people's perspective, without imagining yourself in others' shoes. You can't build a good society by treating some part of it as less valuable. It's just a time bomb waiting to explode in a social uprising.

And they say that only communism hide bad history and only taught kids the "good" history. I am a Vietnamese and during my secondary school history lessons, my history teacher, a very senior teacher often told us her experience during and after the Vietnam war along with the normal topic in the book. From those lessons I learn that there is no good guys during the war. The American government often commit war crime such as burning down village, using chemicals weapon, napalm and bombing large cities. Meanwhile the NVA often torture Americans prisoners in the name of "justice", hiding among the civilian and conduct assassination of high ranking South Vietnamese officers and their family. After the war, there are the Khemer- Rouge incident and the border conflict with China along side the exterminating operation of the highlands minority. I also learnt that the whole thing could be avoided with the Americans not supporting the French in 1946. If the Americans had supported us to be independent in 1946, Vietnam would possibly be a democracy. We sided with the USSR because they were the only one willing to help us gain independent after WW2.

I'm not American/English and I've never heared of this event, thanks that you taught me something new today. :) We must remember that prisoners are still human, even though they might have done some bad stuff in the past (to a lesser or greater degree). I think that if it is deemed possible (because some people can't be rehabilitated), we should try to rehabilitate as many individuals, because we should try to find the root cause of why that person ended up in prison in the first place.

Prunning a prison requires the co-operation of prisoners. If you treat them poorly they will refuse to co-operate and mutiny. Criminals must pay for their crimes, but if they are not rehabilitated there is an increased chance of re offending. In the USA justice is harsh, they are given long prison sentences and the facilities are poor. Yet this does not deter criminals as the prison population in USA is very high. Maybe USA govt need a new approach to law and order.
