"The Challenges of Psychological Survival" Prison conditions can mentally and emotionally collapse a person into suicidal thoughts and action. A complete relinquishment for living. Those same noxious circumstances hone's an environment that provoke's and constructs inmates unto becoming more desensitized, belligerent, barbarous, and dehumanize. The mental health effect is a catastrophical issue that typically leads to a life-long diagnose of P.T.S.D., similar to military veterans returning from war, that ultimately cater's to the prison recidivism, that supports government officials objective to expand, privatize, and to capitalize on institutional equity. Though the supreme challenges for psychological and physical liberation and survival goes beyond prison grounds, the contributing factors within those grounds are equally grave. Their are (3) three components that boost those disputes, and they are; 1) the inmate individually 2) the prison administration and staff 3) the inmate population. Each one of the three components plays a role that either instigates the challenges that contribute's to the current inferno, or subside's the contrary. The most important role, 1) the inmate individually, stands as the consequential dispute of all. The individual inmate perception influences his or her perspective, which pivots toward an action. Their perception and perspective have been assembled from an adoptive belief system swayed by their guardians, relative's, community, peer's, and media/entertainment, which begun during their formative and adolescence years. Prison either worsens those already established behavior traits, or revive a resurgence within the inmate. 2) The prison administration and staff are the key component beside's the inmate themselves, that influences the inmate's rehabilitation or stagnation. The prison administration and staff are the guardianship of the inmates, which has a moral and morale responsibility to them. They are the force that creates, enacts, influence, and enforces the standards that the inmates are upheld to. How they conduct themselves and abide to their own conduct policy, dictate's the security of the prison facility as a whole, which effects every inmate/non-inmate interaction. The main purpose of the prison administration and staff is to be alert, courteous, and professional in their dealings at all times, with conduct that will not reflect discredit on themselves or the department. They shall be responsible to enforce laws, regulations and procedures which govern the actions and activities of the inmates. Their to afford inmates with every reasonable opportunity and encouragement to participate in rehabilitative activities that's considerate to the needs, interests, and desires, of the inmate. 3) The inmate population has a responsibility to create a healthy and thriving environment that cultivates rehabilitative encouragement amongst the diversity of inmate's. They have the responsibility to treat other inmates and employee's with respect, and refrain from behavior which might lead to violence or disorder, or otherwise endanger's facility, outside community or another person. The inmate main objective is to obey all laws, regulations, and local procedure's of the facility, and to rehabilitate themselves by learning how to identify and change destructive or disturbing thought patterns, which have a negative influence on behavior. By each individual inmate focusing on that alone, the inmate population will provide a support system that constitutite's a safe, secure, and uplifting community. Though self-preservation is human nature's main objective in regards to survival, but to conquer the challenges of psychological survival in prison, there must be a collective effort by all partaker's within the prison facility for there to be an adequate relief.
