No boundaries
Name of the game
Erik Fitzsimmons (EF) - Inmates
are serving time. That is all they have on their hand is time.
During that time,

4. they are studying staff and other inmates. Individuals with
antisocial
personality disorder can be con artist, liars, and have no regard
for other
people’s feelings. They are looking for weakness in people’s
character to gain
what they want out of any situation. According to Ni (2015),
“Psychological
manipulation can be defined as the exercise of undue influence
through mental
distortion and emotional exploitation, with the intention to seize
power,
control, benefits and/or privileges at the victim’s expense.
(para. 1). Many inmates believe that staff is not smart and can
be easily manipulated. Many say
they are gullible and the stories about prison would make you
think this maybe
true. Inmates have been known to get guards to bring in
contraband, women have
been impregnated both inmates and staff, and staff have tried to
help with
prison escapes. This inmate is good at gaining the trust of
people he wants to
deceive. This inmate has anger issues he

5. uses that to bully. He uses aggressive manipulation to display
negative
emotions to get others to do what he wants. He shows no
boundaries in getting
what he wants, he can be the nice boy next door, the suave
talker, and the joker.
For inmates this is just the name of the game. Knowing how to
manipulate staff
is a way of life.
difficulties Faced while working with
this inmate
Difficulties with antisocial behavior are manipulation and
deception to get what they want including money and power.
This means they can either be truthful or untruthful through
conning
Accomplished through stealing and using aggressive behavior
Repeated assault and physical fights
Lack of Remorse
Individuals with antisocial personality disorder are good cons.
Juan Vega can manipulate situations and use deception to get
what he wants. He does this by showing aggressive behaviors
and stealing. Officers should be aware of this before attempting
to extract information or dealing with this individual. Another
important thing to note is the repeated assault and physical
fights this person may engage in. They can be impulsive and
problematic. Lastly, Juan lacks remorse and showing empathy is

6. not their strong suit. He also lacks financial obligation and
irresponsibility at work. (Smith, 2019). These are things to
consider when working with individuals with antisocial
personality disorder as they all share these common factors of
impulsivity and a lack of remorse for others.

special strategies for
management of this inmate or offender
Psychotherapy and talk therapy
Family Therapy
Medication to reduce aggression or impulsive behavior
Consider other issues like substance abuse
Psychotherapy and talk therapy are some ways to manage the
negative behaviors and build some interpersonal skills they
lack. This is through talking with a therapist. The therapist will
set goals that are attainable. One of the goals are reducing
impulsive behavior. This is beneficial as it will reduce the
chances of committing crimes and getting arrested. The family
therapy is used to educate them about what sort of things to
expect and how to handle them (Smith, 2019). Other
medications can be taken to deal with aggression or impulsive
behavior associated with antisocial personality disorder.
Substance abuse is usually a factor with inmates who have
mental illness.
