I don't mean the process of getting incarcerated, I mean getting used to being in controlled environments.

What a long word. And yet I still don't understand the question - I have always lived in controlled environments, unfortunately not air conditioned ones. I find the best way of dealing with a controlled environment is to end up in control somehow.

But I still don't really understand the question.

Define your parameters sonny. And keep your eyes straight ahead...

Fuckit I can't resist. Dud. Dud whatever you specifically mean: the *better*, more interesting the person, the tougher it is for them to accustomise to the institution. The institution itself is a numbing thing.

I'm not crazy. You're the one that's crazy.

So this is a question about modern existence generally then? Read some Foucault or something.

Well I know that the de-institutionalisation of mental patients in the 70s , meat to re-integrate them into society, flopped horridly.
