Violence Isn’t Only Physical: Mental Violence While Incarcerated

You see the heading violence and I bet you are thinking something physical, I am heading in a different direction and have viewed some extraordinarily mentally and emotionally violent people that have inflicted untold damage to many. The violence people experience mentally during incarceration is individual to all, but I propose that not a single person leaves incarceration without the additional and possibly more damaging scars of mental violence. The mental violence that occurs in prison and the damage inflicted, regardless of their mental and emotional strength is a paramount story to why many things happen here. The mental damage and anguish on the loved ones of those inside is also immense and is something I will discuss later in this essay.
