Criminal activity happens before incarceration and institutions are expected to correct the off ending behaviour. In the current article, I explore prison culture through the lens of a participant observer with 9.5 years of direct cultural immersion. Prisoner culture is unique and the prison environment has an impact on what a prisoner views as possible within the carceral space, but prisoner culture also impacts what information is transmitted about prison. I introduce a trifurcated classifi cation theory of people in prison as: Active Persistors, Passive Desistors, and Dedicated Desistors.","PeriodicalId":90234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prisoners on prisons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43182996","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Proponents of the strengths-based paradigm argue that the formerly incarcerated are far more than a collection of needs and risks. Rather, we bring unique skills to the reentry process that can be utilized to engage in generative activities that serve to diminish the stigma of a criminal history and to promote post-release success. Drawing on my own journey from prison to practicing attorney, this article contemplates the legal profession as one such generative activity. By serving clients at risk of criminal justice system involvement and organizing to promote experiential diversity at law schools and in the bar, many formerly incarcerated attorneys are engaged, often subconsciously, in ongoing stigma/shame management at the micro and macro levels respectively. For these reasons, this paper contends that the legal profession ought to be considered a viable, realistic option for formerly incarcerated students, as they possess the empathy to excel as attorneys and to use the law as a means of transforming their own self concept.","PeriodicalId":90234,"journal":{"name":"Journal of prisoners on prisons","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-07-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47093889","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Since 2008, I have been a life sentenced prisoner. This refl ective auto-ethnographic study draws on lived experience, informal observations, and personal communications to help unpack some of the many factors that play a role in prisoner rehabilitation and its continued failure. A core part of this study is the role of masculinity within the prisoner experience. Within the prisoner experience is the continued impact of powerlessness, disenfranchisement, and social exclusion that operates to reinforce negative masculine pressures. There is a need for radical change in the way prisons are conceptualized in media and political spheres.
