Imprisonment

Prison systems and penal detention philosophies should be analysed and modified to bring an antiquated mindset into line with the thinking and expectations of contemporary societies.

Particularly heinous and sociopathical offenders are psychological disturbed individuals and should be as treated as Psychological Offenders. The behaviour of criminals, especially violent criminal behaviour should be analysed, diagnosed, categorised then modified by use of advanced psychiatric management techniques. The behaviour of such offenders can never be termed normal.

Present systems permitting violent sociopaths to congregate in an enclosed environment does not make good sense. It is antediluvian, so much so that avoiding seeking better solution amounts to gross neglect, since we acknowledge there are also enormous problems encountered in the day-to-day management of offenders.

Extremely difficult psychiatric behaviours have been modified and managed successfully in modern psychiatric facilities for more than fifty years. This is done firstly to assist the individuals to cope with their condition but also to enable carers in the administration to carry out their duties in safety.

Prisons are violent places for inmates and administrators alike, cesspools. Aggressive ways and means are used on both sides just to subsist, worse they have been created and tolerated by us for hundreds of years.

We regularly modify prisons as buildings of incarceration, applying ingenious advances in architecture and engineering. But we neglect to address the way we think about the people we place in these environments.

Human systems in prisons are far behind in applied and accepted modernity found in other social features such as medicine, education, transportation, and communications.

It is time we put advanced theories into practise.
