' The deprivations of the prison culture (as described by Sykes) intensify the effects of immersion.

Conclusion: The possibility of redemption for the redeemable; redeeming the incorrigibles -- and managing the unredeemable
Prisons have three main goals: to redeem the redeemables; to manage the incorrigibles (the unredeemable, such as those serving life terms) and convert at least some incorrigibles into being redeemable (through rehabilitation). To aid in the process of redeeming those who are redeemable, many prisons today have half-way houses and offer opportunities for prisoners to learn meaningful trades, so when they return to life on the outside they are more, rather than less acclimated to the norms of daily society. However, particularly from the point-of-view of a corrections officers, managing incorrigible prisoners and limiting the physical harms prisoners can do to others is paramount, and this goal cannot be subsumed to the rehabilitative function of prison....
A final goal, that of converting the apparently unredeemable, may be achieved through psychologically supportive programs such as therapy or encouraging the prisoners to make amends to the community, by doing public works or engaging in charitable efforts that teach prisoners a skill yet help the community as a whole.
The threat of punishment is one of the primary ways in which correctional staff enforces order amongst the unredeemables. Behavior modifaction through offering incentives for good behavior is extended to almost all inmates. However, programs that allows inmates opportunities for self-reflection and charity and socializes the inmates to behaviors that have use beyond that of the environment of the prison are likely to be the most successful for the groups of prisoners who will eventually be released from the totalizing atmosphere of prizonization.

The result is that a multilayered system which is inherently designed to maintain and improve our public health standards has instead become almost entirely designed by its profitability. The best opportunity we have for reversing this trend is the applying of pressure that only the federal government can bring to bear. Greater regulation of pricing, coverage and standards of care will shift the focus back to quality health outcomes
Edu). While this example just discusses one manner in which a given policy can empower a healthcare marketing strategy, social marketing is currently so engrained in our culture that its powers are truly widespread.
