Guilty prisoners are usually addictive types of persons. Most are gamblers who are ridiculously superstitious. To most of them sports are not sport, it's gambling and their particular superstition might be that if they eat potato chips during the game, their team will win. Perhaps they learn slowly or reject the lessons presented to them. Related to the previous trait is the irrational, often self-damaging tendency of many guilty persons to substitute grand, dangerous responses for simple straightforward ones.
Many guilty persons deal with problems by preferring very extreme reactions.
Guilty persons simply reject obvious and simple solutions for ones which are circuitous, often violent or risky. Lastly, guilty men are usually gossips. It's very strange to see grown men engage in such gossip and very few men other than guilty ones, engage in such name-calling activity. The general rule is that intellectuals tend to talk about ideas, bright persons talk about events, ordinary men talk about activities and ordinary women talk about other people. Not all guilty men share this syndrome.
