... your usual criminal is ill equipped for introspection or penitence. Placed in solitary he is completely without the inner resources to both deal with it or benefit from it.

Insightful. One more insight please - the press never reports on extrovert criminals - the only time we hear of a personality trait is when the extroverts in the press gush over the fact that a given criminal was a 'loner'. They never report on criminals who hang out in bars with friends etc... What's your take - introvert to extrovert - who fills the prisons?

I’d never given the introvert v. extrovert much thought. Usually, the quiet one’s gave little trouble, so they were less prominent in the mind than the loud, obnoxious, continual trash talking trouble makers.

I’d say, the extroverts are a majority, as the prison cultures I’ve seen rewarded a certain amount of exhibitionism and self promotion.
