Sad New Research Proves Prison Doesn't Actually Rehabilitate Anyone
How do people change from being in prison? Research shows that prison effectively teaches people to distrust others, become paranoid and alters their personalities. The Swedish and Dutch prison systems focus more on rehabilitation and collaboration, and their prisoners are far more able to reintegrate into society.
Though you hopefully don't treat your people like prisoners, are you really rewarding collaboration or creating an environment of distrust? For anyone interested in management, incentives and performance, studying some of this research from prisons is fascinating because it's all about human behavior and how we react to our situations.
