Explain the syndrome of isolationism and withdrawal common to correctional management in the past and the present. What contributes to this tendency, and what are its effects?
What will be an ideal response?
Answers will vary but should address the tendency to conceal prison life and its realities from the public at large. Answers should also address the impact these behaviors have on the perpetuation of stereotypes and on the failure of the general public to understand the realities of the correctional system, which undermines support for necessary changes. This tendency is the result of both the public's desire to avoid discussion of the correctional system and a lack of effective communications leadership from within the correctional system.
