Through literature review, this paper referenced studies that are relevant to how inmates adapt to prison life, social support, interaction in prison and the impact on the effectiveness of the prison’s correctional education. The research hypothesis is proposed with the recognition of the research variables and the research structure that coordinate with the research purpose and analysis of the relationship between relevant variables.
