Answer:

-Negative psychological effects on prisoners -Bartol suggested that imprisonment can be 'brutal demeaning and generally devastating' for inmates. Accoridng to the ministry of justice, 119 people died by suicide, 25% of women and 15% of men experience psychosis (hallucinations) in prison -Significant because this statistic is equivilant to 9 times the size of suicide rates of the general population. Supports that oppressive prison regimes may be detrimental to the health of inmates, impacting the ability to rehabilitate inmates -Psychosis makes it harder for convicts to adjust to the outside world once they are released, making them reoffend.
