There might be an impact experienced by the inmates of the Milford prison, the correctional authorities/other staff members at the prison and the inmate being assisted to reenter into prison with mental illness. This is because the mentally disturbed inmate might not be able to adjust with other inmates. The mentally disturbed inmate might not be welcomed by other inmates in a positive manner because there might be inhibitions in the minds of the other inmates. The other inmates might have the fear of being beaten up by the mentally disturbed inmate.
