Discuss why the prison environment is not typically ideal for treatment programs

What will be an ideal response?


The prison subculture can undermine treatment efforts, particularly in state
institutions. Security staff may be distrusting of treatment personnel, and many may see
such staff as “soft” on the inmate population or as being easily conned by inmates.
There is often a schism that exists between treatment and security staff and this can be
a source of substantial stress for many correctional treatment specialists.
