                                  %KINDS OF PRISONS 871206

     Prisons  can be made of all kinds of realities.   The
commonly  recognized  prisons  are made  of  concrete  and
steel.  Prisons can be made of intellectual and scientific
materials.   Prisons can be made of religious and business
realities.    Prisons  can  be made  of  vocabularies  and
concepts.      Most   any  reality  can  be  used   by   a
collusive/addictive   system  to  fashion  a   fashionable
prison regarded as a good place to live.

     Prisons keep people from fulfilling their integrative
potentialities.  Many  prisons  are  regarded  with  great
respect in  spite  of  their disintegrative  consequences;
they are regarded as  essential to the maintenance of  law
and   order  according  to  apparently proper   principles
of   control.  Prisons  control  how people behave  rather
than    liberate   them  to  fulfill   their   integrative
potentialities.

     Prisons differ in the manner of control.  It  may not
be  clear   who  is    in    control  of  the  controlling
processes;      and   in  fact,    often  the   power   of
control  may  be  vested in   a  confused   assemblage  of
persons,      none  of  whom  is really  in   control  and
accountable  for being in control.     Those who  are most
evidently    in    control   of  the   prison     may   be
imprisoned   within   the  prison  which  they  apparently
control.    Prison guards   are often imprisoned in  their
prison's habits  of  mind  and heart along with  the  more
evident prisoners.
