Prison life and life after prison
In Chapter 12, we learn that prison isn’t easy. Prison life is dependent on several factors such as learning correctional rules and regulations, adapting to a new life that is heavily supervised, and being away from family and friends, among other things. Not only are inmates tasked with learning all the prison rules and regulations, but they must also learn about informal rules set forth by other inmates. These informal rules are also known as “prison culture” or “prison subculture.”
For this week’s DB, I want you to first listen to this interview with actor and formerly incarcerated individual, Danny Trejo. You may know Danny from the film, Spy Kids or TV show, Breaking Bad. But, did you know that he spent some time behind bars at a California prison?
Interview link: https://www.npr.org/transcripts/593446805Links to an external site.
Instructions:
1. Listen the interview with actor and formerly incarcerated offender, Danny Trejo.
2. Pay attention to when Danny talks about prison culture and how prison (informal) rules were like. (This will be around the 4:57 time stamp).
Now tell me:
1. Based on the readings, lecture, and the interview with Danny Trejo, tell me: What is prison culture like? Describe it to me.
2. Based on the readings and lecture, is social support important to reduce recidivism? In addition, what are some ways in which social support can help formerly incarcerated offenders during prison and reentry? Provide and explain at least two examples of how social support can help formerly incarcerated offenders during prison and reentry.
As a reminder, be sure to fully address all parts of the prompt using the reading and lecture material to support your answers. A one sentence explanation or bullet points will not receive full credit. You must answer each of the prompt’s questions in detail.
For example, “According to Rennison and Dodge (2021) prison culture is … For example, Danny Trejo talks about how in prison, there are informal rules that …
Based on the readings, social support can help formerly incarcerated offenders in reentry by providing people with ….”
Then, you provide reasons and examples of how social support can assist formerly incarcerated individuals during prison or reentry.
As always, please remain respectful and civil in your posts.
