Jail expierience

My experience from going to the county jail for a tour was quite interesting and scary at the same time. before going into the jail i was very excited but then when the officer was talking to us about what we would be getting ourselves into made me a little nervous. While i was at the jail when the officer started talking to us about how society wants people that create felonies in jail. He said that we would rather avoid the problem which is the inmates and just have them in jail, that our society wants to keep them away from us but we don't do anything to help them get better when you have jails that when they discipline them they discipline them very badly. When he took us on the tour and we saw many of the inmates they were saying very rude and unnecessary comments. This reminded me of the labeling theory that we talked and read about in sociology class. I connected the inmates saying rude comments to the labeling theory because they are labeled by society to be criminals and bad people that they feel the need to act as society labels them to be which is yelling out rude comments.
