Episode 11-Prison Psych

Welcome to Spooky Psychology with Megan & Lauren. In this episode we will be discussing the psychology of the prison system. We touch on topics such as solitary confinement, what the process looks like of a prison intake, socialization in prison, nutraloaf, and much more. We also want to hear from you for our next episode where we will interview people who have worked in the prison system.    Hey guys! Megan here. If you listened to our last episode you know we have been actively looking for sponsors. I am so excited to let you know that spooky psych officially has its first affiliate link! A few weeks ago I reached out to therabox to ask if they would be interested in collaborating with us. Therabox is a subscription box designed by therapists to work on self care. It has a few different relaxing products (I've gotten scrubs, face masks, nail polish and lots of other products) along with 1 therapist designed happiness boosting activity. In addition to the subscription boxes they have a standalone shop where you can buy older boxes and individual products. I started getting these boxes a few months back and i love them. Below is one of the boxes I received. If you are looking to improve your self care please consider checking them out, using the link below. Be sure to use this link as any purchases made through it will help support Lauren and I and help us keep this podcast going.
