The Psychology of Incarceration: Part 2

The Psychology of Incarceration (POI) curriculum is designed to improve the social skills, problem-solving abilities, self-control, and self-efficacy of justice-impacted individuals. Based on criminogenic needs research, this curriculum challenges conventional views on incarceration and reentry. It draws from personal experiences to highlight how "prison symbolizes self-imposed limitations and freedom is a choice." Covering the journey from arrest to release, it provides insights into conditions, common reactions, and real-life examples to encourage personal accountability for successful reentry and recovery.
