A sincere, friendly prisoner who utilizes the time while incarcerated to develop and maintain positive and meaningful friendships.

A social prisoner establishes and maintains healthy friendships inside prison as well as outside. Often, social prisoners also make use of the time to learn skills and seek an education.

Prisoner of the Present

1. A person whose entire worldview is shaped by current events, stumbling along from one crisis to another.
2. Someone without a historical perspective or hope for the future.
3. The mindset that causes "knee-jerk" reactions to almost any kind of social or economic change.
4. A state of perpetual panic about "the world today."

Los Prisioneros 

Are a highly political rock band from Chile formed in the early 80's. They became the most outspoken and political rock band of south america. They broke up in 1991 after much mainstream (for once) success but reunited in 2001 and started touring, recording new music, etc. again. They are still very popular to this very day, and their last album "Manzana" has been a hit since it came out in late 2004.
