Incarceration is a disheartening and frustrating experience for the men in prisons. The inmates suffer from the feelings of deprivation and frustration. It inflicts upon the inmates both physical as well as psychological punishment. Both have an enormous effect on the inmates and do not differ greatly in their cruelty. Imprisonment creates conditions that attack the inmate’s personality and his feeling of self worth. It deprives the inmate from his liberty, goods and services, heterosexual relationship, autonomy and security. The inmates have to live isolated from family and friends and submit to the coercive rules within the prison. The inmates are forced to live in a very meager environment where they feel deprived since none of their wants are satisfied. These adversities have tremendous impact on the psychology of the prisoner and his self is systematically mortified. The present paper intends to understand the pains of incarceration suffered by the life convicts in a high security prison.
