The presentation will discuss the various attitudes and behaviors that inmates go through as they adjust to prison life. This will involve examining the stages of the adjustment process, the challenges they face, and the strategies they use to cope with their new environment.
The Etextbook provides valuable insights into the psychological impact of prison life on inmates and the coping mechanisms they develop. However, in order to gain a more comprehensive understanding, it is important to consider additional perspectives from outside sources.
For this presentation, I conducted research and found a study from the National Institute of Justice titled "Inmate Adjustment to Prison Life: The Role of Social Support and Institutional Climate" (https://www.ncjrs.gov/pdffiles1/nij/grants/239353.pdf). This study explores the role of social support and the prison environment in inmates' adjustment process, shedding light on the importance of relationships and the organizational culture within prisons.
By integrating information from the Etextbook and this external source, we can gain a deeper understanding of how inmates adjust to prison life and the factors that influence their experiences. This presentation will highlight the key findings from both sources and provide insights into the complex nature of inmate adaptation in correctional facilities.
