Prison has the potential to do both.
Which path someone takes depends on the person, the environment, and the opportunities that they're exposed to while they're in there.
Yes.
I mean, one thing that can happen is that the consequence becomes less intimidating.
Once someone, for example, has been to prison, they know what the worst case scenario looks like.
They've experienced it, they've learned the routines, adapted to the environment, they've met certain people, and they've discovered that they can survive it, especially when they've only had to serve one and a half years.
Years of a three-year sentence, for example.
And to some, it's a better alternative than being on the outside on the streets, because it provides all of their basic needs.
They have shelter, food, clothing, and even medical needs all in one place.
And of course, prison is still an inherently stressful, restrictive, and dangerous place to be.
Having worked there myself, I mean, I've seen that firsthand.
It's a very
Very negative place.
But for some individuals, particularly those who already come from chaotic, violent, or unstable lifestyles, like Ivan, it's not an environment that necessarily feels foreign to them, not in the way it would to someone who came from a more stable environment.
Fear is one of the strongest deterrents we have, but fear depends on things like uncertainty.
And once uncertainty is replaced with more familiarity, fear can lose some of its power to some people.
It's not uncommon for people leaving prison to put considerable effort into their appearance.
Think about it.
They're trying to rebuild their lives.
They need to find employment, form relationships, and re-enter society.
