If you mean incarceration:
Boredom and isolation rank far above what is shown in movies.
Not being able to see the sun (certain facilities) for long periods of time has a negative effect on mental and physical health.
The California Department of Corrections allows a diet of 2,000 calories/day... JUST enough to be "healthy" but so low as to keep you feeling weak.
The cold: Corrections Officers (COs) keep the temperature low to decrease resistance, anger and violence but it is also very uncomfortable. COs also punish by "burning you out" that is, leaving the lights on at night, leading to severe lack of sleep. Also in most indoor facilities, ALL the lights are NEVER off, making sleep constantly difficult. Always having to be on guard due to being housed with people who are violent, angry, frustrated, broke, unstable, scared etc.
Verbally/Physically abusive COs.
The granddaddy of them all - rape...though FAR more rare than depicted in the media.
If you mean once a convict is released:
Public assistance such as Unemployment is cut off.
Reporting to courts, Parole Officers, Drug/Alcohol/Anger programs interfere with employment and cost $.
Depending on the crime, finding new employment will be difficult...for some it will be near impossible.
Shame brought to family, friends, employers and the guilt they lay on you.
Being looked at/perceived differently by acquaintances and strangers alike.
Lingering reports in the media and public records regarding the crime(s) you were convicted of.
Severe punishment for a repeat offence. Say you are convicted of stealing a candy bay...that's Petty Theft - a misdemeanor that may only net a few days in jail. If you get caught a second time...that's Petty with a Prior - a FELONY which carries a maximum sentence of five years in prison (in California)
