Sources of Stress in Prisons There are an uncountable number of sources of stress in prison. The worst source of stress to prisoners is the unlawful policies and practices inflicted on them.

Human beings have a penchant for division, creating endless us versus them scenarios in the mind to justify any conduct or decision that would be otherwise unacceptable.

In criminology (the study of the behavior patterns & the mindset of the criminal) one learns how to recognize & apprehend a criminal. When someone is arrested, he is diagnosed, in different ways, as criminally insane (i.e. anti-social, narcissistic, etc.). The mentality of the criminal is acquired at a very young age, in most cases. This is wh...
