Jailmonster

A term describing individuals who, outside prison walls, appear to be good, normal, even kind people—but once incarcerated, transform into monsters capable of extreme cruelty, violence, and atrocities against other inmates. The Jailmonster phenomenon reveals that character is not always stable across contexts; the prison environment can unleash capacities for violence that were dormant or invisible in free society. Sometimes extended to prison guards who similarly undergo a transformation behind bars—becoming torturers and abusers in a context that enables and rewards such behavior. The term captures the disturbing truth that monstrosity is not always an intrinsic trait but can be a product of environment, power, and impunity. The "monstro de cadeia" is not a different species; they are people placed in conditions that make monstrosity possible—and often, rewarded.
"He was a quiet neighbor, a good father, never in trouble. Then he went to prison for a minor crime. Inside, he became a monster—raping, killing, terrorizing other inmates. Jailmonster: not a different person, but the same person in a different world. The question isn't who he was; it's what prison made him. And that question haunts anyone who believes in simple good and evil."

Serial Monogamist 

Someone who jumps from one relationship immediately into another one.

Serial monogamists can not stand to be alone and often suffer from vast commitment and insecurity issues.

Because they jump into relationships immediately after the previous one has ended, serial monogamists typically don't take the time to reflect on their behavior or why their previous relationships failed; thus, they end up making the same relationship mistakes over and over again.
Person 1: Damn, Dustin already has a new girlfriend?! It's only been two weeks since he broke up with his fiance! I think he's a sociopath.

Person 2: No, he's a serial monogamist...
