Why are criminals housed together in prison?

243 views

Like for example, why are they housed in a cell by two, or eat together. If it’s just my false perception caused by Hollywood, then I get it, but doesn’t this allow more violence and plots of escape?

The main reason criminals are housed together in prison is for security purposes. By keeping them together, prison staff can more easily keep an eye on them and prevent any violence or escape attempts. Additionally, it is cheaper to house prisoners together than it would be to keep them in individual cells.
