Who knows? Almost all felons are coached prior to intake, you get an assessment, which is a joke, because it is often done by grad students, or even undergrad, for work credits in Social work, sociology, psychology, mental health counseling. Few, to none have forensic experience.
So, everyone lies, the bigger pity party, the better. That way, you can blame whatever you are incarcerated for, on someone else, usually a terrible childhood.
Sorry if I am so jaded and cynical. Usually, children who had really bad childhood experiences, don't magically end up married to doctors or going to college.
They often have severe mental health issues, often with bad teeth, due to neglect, vision and hearing problems due to continuous beatings. I have seen these people, and they are a wreck. It isn't hard to tell that they were lucky to be alive.
And, another cynical perspective, many children, male and female have had negative childhood experiences. They don't all end up in prison.
