This can weigh on them and eventually deplete all hope which is how the psychological effects of jail harm people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Young black people may be told \u201cyou\u2019ll amount to nothing, just like your father,\u201d which implies a deep inherited weakness. \u201cIf nothing is expected of a people, that people will find it difficult to contradict that expectation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To avoid shame, people affected by incarceration (eg family members) stay silent, avoiding social discussion. Thus they underestimate the extent of incarceration, deepen the isolation of ex-offenders, and limit healing and mobilization of social action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, ex-offenders may seek those who understand them &#8211; other criminals &#8211; and join gangs. The psychological effects of jail turn into a cycle of criminal activity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Yet if black people really feel shame, why is gangsta culture celebrated?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Alexander argues that when people feel hopelessly stigmatized, they embrace the identity as the only viable route to self-esteem. Like \u201cblack is beautiful,\u201d this neutralizes the sting and neutralizes the pain. It is a similar effort to neutralize the psychological effects of jail.<\/li><li>This is an act of rebellion. \u201cI\u2019m seen as a criminal&#8230;so I\u2019m gonna treat you like I am one. I\u2019m gonna make you shake.\u201d<\/li><li>In popular media, gangsta life is celebrated by black people partially because they\u2019re excited to see their own on TV. Unfortunately, it perpetuates racial stereotypes for both black and non-black viewers. Draw an analogy to black minstrel shows.<\/li><li>Unfortunately, unlike \u201cblack is beautiful,\u201d celebrating criminality is self-defeating and perpetuates a disadvantaged position.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Other Effects of Incarceration<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Criminals are already disadvantaged in finding employment, with most dropping out of high school and being illiterate. The challenge of finding work exacerbates the psychological effects of jail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>40 states require parolees to maintain employment or possibly be sent back to prison. But almost all states allow private employers to discriminate on past criminal convictions or arrests. Licensing for some professions prohibits felons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The professions that are less customer facing and most willing to hire felons &#8211; construction, manufacturing &#8211; are disappearing due to outsourcing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Felons may have their driver\u2019s licenses expired or suspended, which exacerbates the job search and depletes the number of reasonably accessible jobs. They might spend more money getting to work than they earn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.realclearpolicy.com\/blog\/2016\/09\/02\/the_jobless_rate_for_young_black_men_is_a_national_disgrace.html\">Over 33% of young black men in the US are unemployed<\/a>; 65% of young black male dropouts are unemployed.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Keep in mind poverty and unemployment statistics usually don\u2019t include incarcerated people, so the true jobless rates may be underestimating by 20%.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Ironically, activism to remove questions about criminal history from job applications may backfire. Without this explicit information, employers may discriminate against non-criminal black people using proxies for criminality, like receipt of public assistance, gaps in work history &#8211; or effectively treat all black men as though they have criminal records.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nearly all states prohibit felons from voting while incarcerated. Most states withhold right to vote to parolees. In <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ncsl.org\/research\/elections-and-campaigns\/felon-voting-rights.aspx\">9 states<\/a>, ex-felons must apply to have voting rights restored, typically after they pay all fines.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>In contrast, half of Europe allow all prisoners to vote.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Furthermore, ex-offenders may be reluctant to vote because of fear of attracting attention with the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Others are told by parole officers that they\u2019re not allowed to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Naturally, many ex-felons never regain the right to vote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Theoretically, these votes may have influenced very close elections.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Insidiously, new prisons occur in mostly white, rural areas, which benefit from inflated population totals and thus representation in state government.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What are the psychological effects of jail?
