Abstract

This study was based on antisocial behaviour, prison conditions and their influence on the development of a stable identity among child prisoners, in other to investigate this aspect, it lead to the formation of items to investigate aspects of prison conditions and how they influence the formation of a stable identity of child prisoners. This therefore led to the formation of the research question anti social behaviours and prison conditions influence the building of a stable identity of child prisoners. From these, five objectives were generated from the following indicators, overcrowded nature of prisons, health care service, physical and sexual abuse, solitary confinement, and social support. A sample of 40 was used for the study from two prisons in the south west region of Cameroon and the purposive sampling techniques was used to select the participants. The instrument used for the collection of data was a questionnaire which composed of a likert scale section and an open ended section. And for this study a survey design was used and data was analysed using descriptive statistic, mean estimation and thematic analysis. Using the percentages of statistical data, Findings revealed that the overcrowded prisons, physical and sexual abuse, solitary confinement, and social support could all negatively influence the formation of stable identity among child prisoners while health care service could not be link directly to a negative effects.
