This journey has gone a long ways with when I first started this project. Beginning of paper, my question was why did Jeffrey Dahmer only choose African American men to rape and what made him want to do this to people. As I started finding out more about Dahmer, I realized that if I stuck to that question, I wouldn’t get a major answer because no one besides Dahmer himself could’ve told us why he chose those particular men. After that, I kept on searching for more and more information and what might I want to answer about Dahmer. That is when I found documents about when he was in jail, how he got killed, and what the prison had to do with his killing. I realized that talking about Dahmer and the connection with the institution would be something I would be interested in. My research question was now, what policies and rules were changed at the Columbia Correctional Institution after Jeffrey Dahmer was killed there. My understanding of this question is over the level of what I thought it would be when I started out. The information I found about when he was there and what happened was excellent. Not only did I find the sources, they were primary sources that came from the institution itself and workers who were there at the time of the happening. Once I did all my research, I got the answer to my question. Columbia Correctional Institution changed the visibility, listening, and monitoring capability to enhance security. Adding special procedures for inmates was also something they started doing. Different areas of the prison got different changes to help enhance the safety of inmates. Not only did they change rules within the institution, but also a bill was passed saying that anyone convicting “murders would be imprisoned for life with no possibility of parole under a bill” (1).
