A member asked:
How does being in prison affect someone's mental health?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prison: Prison tends to aggravate mental health conditions, and make them worse. The only thing prison really does is re-traumatize prisoners and make them in to angrier, more resourceful criminals.
