Description

Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Law - Criminal process, Criminology, Law Enforcement, grade: 1.0, University of Ljubljana (Fakultät für Angewandte Sozialwissenschaften), language: English, abstract: An individual coming into prison represents a form of sanction that society inflicts on the individual for the deviation of its moral and juridical laws. While a deprivation of liberty causes several consequences for the imprisoned people, both during detention as well as after release, it is not seldom that the psychological consequences are the most serious ones. The circumstances of living in a place where one's safety and human dignity is likely to be threatened on a daily basis are usually challenging to the maintenance of a sound mental condition. The size of the challenge varies from prisoner to prisoner and occurs in many forms. The special social environment a prison consists of is likely to cause the process of "prisonization" to happen within the prisoners. It's causes and impact are subject to this term paper.
