Interventon programs in prison

Prisons are one of the major places seen where masculinity thrives and is reconstructed into dangerous elements leading to toxic masculinity. Over the years, and with significant research and studies, models for batterer intervention programs have served as a way to transform men into non-threatening, non-judgmental listeners who are empathetic, honest, accountable, and egalitarian in their parenting, housework, and familial decision making. Here in this environment, prisons under specific controls can change men from patriarchal authoritarians bent on controlling women into pro feminist men. The Duluth model has been influential in mitigating the violence while in prison. It incorporates aspects of rehabilitation that focus on skill building through education and vocation. In concurrence with the rehabilitation philosophy is ideas of anger management therapy, communication therapy, and ways demonstrate assertiveness without being aggressive.
