Dear MEL Topic Readers,
What is it really like to be in prison?
A prison is a facility in which inmates are
confined and denied a variety of freedoms under the authority of the state. In some
prisons, people are held in custody as detainees before or without trial, and in
other cases, legally convicted criminals are held to serve their prison
sentence as prisoners. In either case, those who are in prison are deprived of
liberty against his or her will.
You might have seen prisoners in movies or dramas,
but have you ever thought about what the life there is like? Though conditions
like the facility, cleanliness, and treatment may differ widely by prison or
country, prisoners are stripped of their identity on arrival. They have very
little freedom in everyday life. They need to ask permission for nearly
everything they want or need to do. They are surrounded by fellow inmates,
convicted criminals. It is not easy to get by physically and mentally. In the
meantime, there, one may find something that they have never thought of or tried
for. Here are some stories of former inmates in the UK.
Read the article and learn about the changes
some prisoners made during their prison term.
