The average Texas inmate could afford a five-minute phone call every three months, but this is just one example of severely limited interactions (Worely et al., 2010). The prison population and, ultimately, society are negatively affected by the lack of contact or freedom in prison. Additional concerns include the impact of elected isolation, inappropriate relationships and spies. Limited services, lack of quality relationships, and institutionalization effects are hypothesized to create psychological problems for those who must reenter society. Allowing a certain level of enjoyment and contact with the outside world may be sufficient to encourage prisoners to refrain from joining prison gangs or disturbing prison facilities. Other improvements may range from allowing tobacco use or increasing contact with outside contacts. If prisoners cannot enjoy simple pleasures and freedoms while incarcerated, it is unrealistic to expect them to maintain civilized attitudes during incarceration or upon release. Additional Readings The two additional readings used the same data set from the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, which had high levels of superfluous relationships between inmates and staff (Worley et al., 2003; Worley et al., 2010). The research initially contacted 508 prisoners who had committed boundary violations between 1995 and 1998, but there were only 82 positive responses (Worley et al., 2003; Worley et al., 2010). Ultimately, 32 inmates were chosen to participate in an unstructured interview that included 11 general relationship questions (Worley et al., 2003; Worley et al., 2010).
