Stereotypes In Prisons
There is a prisoner, he has been sentenced 25 to life for shooting and killing a man, he was 17-18 years old then. Now he is 33, he has a 16 year old daughter, a wife, 2 step daughters, and his first step grandbaby on the way. He is the most kindhearted men you will ever meet. Prison reforms people he went in and now he is in there and he has changed as a person. He has thought about his mistakes and changed himself for people say that people that go to jails and prisons will always be bad people. That is not the case. Emotional reasons are a big motivation for prison reformations. Being stereotyped hurts, no matter how strong and confident a person is. Prisoners are always being stereotyped as the scum of the earth. They have a family at
home that loves and misses them Family is a big motivation of the reformation of a person. They want to do better, they hate knowing that their family is hurting and they cannot be there to comfort them. They have endless time to think, and they have a mindset that they are going to do better. Self-worth is another factor for reformation. Being looked down upon is never a good feeling. People feel like a worthless human being. Change makes a person feel good, prisoners changing makes them feel good. Prisoners have help programs that give them assistance with while reforming. These people are never given a chance to prove themselves. They get depressed and suicide becomes a thought in their head, these people can and will change for themselves, their families, and their community. Attitude affects them as well. When you are a happy person your attitude will change and you will become more happy. They will smile more and show more pride knowing that they have did this to better themselves and they will not make the same mistake ever again. A few studies have shown that prisoners come out of prison to become a law abiding citizen and that more than half of the time prisons does correct a person and how they act. Their outlook on life changes and they think of how dumb their mistake was and they change their ways. Therefore prisons reforms their criminals into human beings. They become civil humans and live their live freely. Some are changed but still in prison for instance, my uncle. He has served 16-17 years of his 25 to life sentence. He is not a bad person. They all do not go right back to prison once they get out. People want to better their lives and so do prisoners.
