Why is it difficult to initially adjust to prison?
What will be an ideal response?
When inmates arrive at prison, they are stripped, searched, showered, and assigned living quarters. The treatment seems harsh and inhumane, and men often become depressed when they begin to contemplate their sentence and the dangers of prison life. They quickly have to learn the ins and outs of prison in order to survive. They need to adopt a defensive lifestyle to avoid victimization. Most inmates find that the challenges of incarceration increase the difficulties of prison life along with their already limited resources.
