Schelling Take the Reason Prisoner Produced by Sankar Viswanathan, Greg Weeks, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "Take the Reason Prisoner" by John J. McGuire is a science fiction novel written during the early 1960s. The story explores complex themes related to criminal justice and psychological manipulation within a futuristic prison setting. The central character is Major General James J. Bennington, who faces political machinations and moral dilemmas as he begins his role as the new warden of Duncannon Processing Prison. At the start of the narrative, we are introduced to General Bennington during a welcoming party hosted by political figures who seem more interested in their own agendas than in the welfare of the prisoners. As he navigates the convoluted prison system, Bennington becomes increasingly aware of the ethical issues surrounding the conditioning methods used on the inmates. He is especially concerned about the influence of Dr. Thornberry, the prison's chief psychologist, who advocates for using psychological conditioning to manage the prisoners. As the story unfolds, Bennington grapples with the reality of his new position, witnessing the flaws and dangers of a system that claims to rehabilitate while also raising questions about the morality of such measures.
