[QUOTE="skittles, post: 754822, member: 2484"] I worked in prisonover a 25 year period. I know howwell most guys adjust. Many ofthem like it! Copacabana I shook my head at your quote, its actually seemed to be true. I wouldn’t say my son liked it but he did well in prison. What I think he found is that the unambiguous black and white rules are what he needed.And there is no one to rescue him there. Out in the real world there is so much gray area, if you gave him an inch he would push it 10 miles, he couldn’t do that in prison and oddly he didn’t even try. he was actually a very good prisoner, went to all his programs, went to AA, managed to get along, And when he applied to change from a medium to a minimum security, he was accepted. this allowed him to actually take college courses off the prison grounds. Hes been out for a few years now, and is very unmotivated. he manages to work for a while and then lose his job and go on welfare, but he seems to be staying out of legal trouble and off the hard drugs, This is probably the best I can expect he’ll ever achieve but thats his life and he seems fairly content with it, and honestly compared to where he was before prison this is a huge blessing and I’m thankful for it.
