Answer: The offender's social standing is injured by the punishment

Explanation: Incarceration simply means being imprisoned. Incarceration is one of the most common punishment or judgment pronounced on guilty offenders. Through incarceration, the inmate or offender is being stripped or restricted of several acts of freedom, especially the fact that such person will be isolated somewhere away from members of his social group who he or she shares close relationship with and spends time together.

Also, an incarcerated inmate will be hard hit by Shame, reduced ego or a taint in the individual's social standing or class. Even if after serving the terms of his sentence, it has become a lifelong achievement that such person has been jailed in his lifetime.
