One word... delusional.
It is never a good idea to "trap" people as you put it...it is one thing to ask people's opinions and be open to what they say but another thing to just want to stir up people's thoughts in a non-productive fashion as the word "trap" implies. I don't think the stigma is always ill-placed on the prisoner but I do think they can prove the stereotype down through their deeds once they have been released, but many don't do that so the stereotype is often appropriate. As far as the prisoner's wife being stigmatized, I don't think that is right, but it is what happens when you choose to stay in a relationship with someone in prison. But you too can break that stereotype of the "prisoner's wife" by your actions of showing that you are a good person who is doing good deeds in society. Stereotypes never change unless the people that are being stereotyped break the mold of said stereotype and prove to the world that they aren't what people say that they are. That might sound harsh, but that is how I see things.
