Abstract


Research has shown that most inmates experience stress while incarcerated. If managed appropriately, distress can foster stress-related growth (SRG), a process of positive personal development. This study explores SRG among prisoner escorts (tamping)—well-behaved inmates who are not recidivists, demonstrate self-maturity during correctional processes, and are selected by officers to assist in coaching other inmates. Research on SRG in prisons is crucial as growth enhances self-functioning and adaptation. This study involved three informants, selected through purposive sampling, with criteria of being early adults and serving as tamping for a minimum one year. Data were collected through a preliminary questionnaire, followed by semi-structured interviews. A descriptive phenomenological approach and thematic analysis techniques were employed to examine their experiences and the formation process of SRG. The study identified a self-growth process, internal factors influencing self-growth (personal character and self-motivation to change), and external factors providing support (friends, family, and prison officers). Forms of self-growth include increased self-awareness, resilience, independence, compassion, new perspectives on oneself and others, greater respect for family, strengthened spiritual connection, and changes in life meaning and orientation. Additionally, a novel finding in this study is that prisoner escorts also experience an increase in work proficiency, which further enhances their rehabilitation process. The study suggests expanding informant criteria, conducting longitudinal research, and exploring related variables such as gratitude, self-forgiveness, and self-compassion. Further studies should also examine related issues such as choice, commitment, and social support, which may influence SRG outcomes in prison settings.
