Marcus has a history of violent outbursts and has served multiple short custodial sentences. He is currently imprisoned for causing grievous bodily harm (GBH). The prison warden wants to use evidence-based rehabilitation strategies to change Marcus's behavior. To manage his daily conduct, prison staff use a system where Marcus earns points for demonstrating self-control and cooperating with others, which he can trade for privileges. Additionally, to foster long-term rehabilitation, Marcus attends a weekly programme where he works with a practitioner to identify what triggers his aggression, learns relaxation techniques, and practices resolving conflicts peacefully through role-play.
