Example sentence #1
In his report "The Psychological Impact of Incarceration: Implications for
Post-Prison Adjustment" written for the Nation
Policy Conference, Dr. Craig Haney, professor of Psychology from the
University of California- Santa Cruz writes “Prisons do not, in general,
make people ‘crazy.’ However, even researchers who are openly skeptical about
whether the pains of imprisonment generally translate into psychological harm
concede that, for at least some people, prison can produce negative,
long-lasting change… the more extreme, harsh, dangerous, or otherwise
psychologically-taxing the nature of the confinement, the greater the number of
people who will suffer and the deeper the damage that they will incur.”
Example sentence #2
In his report “Making
Rehabilitation Work: American Experience of Rehabilitating Prisoners” Iain
Murray, Director of Research for Statistical Assessment Service in Washington
DC writes “Criminal offending and re-offending is a tangled web woven from a
complex set of circumstances and choices… The best rehabilitation programs
recognize this problem, and seek to untangle the web appropriately.”
Example Paragraph
As soon as a criminal is convicted and sentenced to a long, or short term prison stay, that criminal is bound to undergo sevear psychological changes. There are many factors that contribute to these changes. In his report "The Psychological Impact of Incarceration: Implications for Post-Prison Adjustment" written for the Nation Policy Conference, Dr. Craig Haney, professor of Psychology from the University of California- Santa Cruz writes "The combination of overcrowding and the rapid expansion of prison systems across the country adversely affected living conditions in many prisons, jeopardized prisoner safety, compromised prison management, and greatly limited prisoner access to meaningful programming."(3) Due to these harmful factors, prisoners across the country have begun to show a pattern of negative effects. Haney continues, "At the very least, prison is painful, and incarcerated persons often suffer long-term consequences from having been subjected to pain, deprivation, and extremely atypical patterns and norms of living and interacting with others."(4-5) Harsh Punishment in prison in one of the main factors contributing to negative psychological effects among criminals. In his report “On the Effectiveness of Prison as Punishment” professor and Chair of Interdisciplinary Studies, Dr. Stuart Henry writes “…punishment, especially in its severe form has several negative effects:
1. Avoidance or escape
2. Alienation of those punished, to the point of inaction
3. Aggressiveness, both targeted and generalized, by those punished
4. Conditioning of the punishers through rewarding them for behavioral change
5. Reproducing punishment behavior in those punished”
