2. Based on the movie, pick out and describe how each of the following theories of punishment were exemplified in the movie.

3. A few times in the movie older inmates were said to be "institutionalized" . Brooks Hanlon was , and Red also thought he may have been. What does that concept mean and how could that be a bad thing at the time of parole.
