Name of the game
Erik Fitzsimmons (EF) - Inmates are serving time. That is all they have on their hand is time. During that time, 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 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 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.
