  Spirits In Prison   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14)
The preaching to the spirits in prison here was done in the days while Noah was building the ark and all the while preaching righteousness unto them the people in the prison house of sin.

Spirits who have yielded themselves to the devil forfeit their liberties and become slaves to Satan and the power of sin.

An LDS friend of mine was trying to explain the concepts of spirit paradise and spirit prison, and she said spirit prison is nothing like purgatory.
She described it as a glorious place where spirits would wait for the second coming and be taught about the Gospel by those in spirit paradise.

 Christ's Message to the Spirits in Prison, An Analysis of 1 Peter 3:18-19
The translation "by the Spirit" does not allow for the parallel with "in the flesh." Christ clearly was not put to death "by the flesh," but He was put to death "with reference to" His human/earthly existence.
Those who take "Spirit" in the previous verse to refer to the Holy Spirit naturally understand this as the antecedent of "which"; hence, the instrumental force "by whom" or "by which" or "through whom." It was suggested above that the Holy Spirit is not primarily in view in the phrase.
It may, however, not be this complicated; some understand the "spirits in prison" to be those "sons of God" themselves.

 Tertullian : An Address to the Martyrs. Library of the Fathers 10, Oxford (1842), pp. 150-157.  Tr. C. Dodgson
Let us, that are to obtain an eternal one, consider our prison as a wrestling-ground, that, having been daily exercised in all kinds of hardships, we may be brought forth to the course before the judgment-seat; for virtue is built up by hardness, but by softness is destroyed.
For for this cause He first said that the spirit is ready, that He might shew which ought to be subject to the other, to wit, that the flesh should serve the spirit, the weaker the stronger, p155 that from it it may itself also receive strength.
Let the spirit confer with the flesh about the common salvation of both, not now thinking of the grievances of the prison, but of the contest and fight itself.

 On "Hard Rock Returns to Prison. . . ."
The picture of Hard Rock as a kind of hero to other prison inmates is established early in the poem through a retelling of the legends circulated about him; the straightforward chronology of the poem sets up the mystery of how he will react after his "treatment" in the hospital.
The poem identifies with those who wait; they are hopeful that Hard Rock's spirit has not been broken by surgery or shock treatments, and the lines crawl almost to a stop with disappointment in stanza four.
New and Selected Poems, "Hard Rock" presents the modern, prison version of the "bad" or "mean" "nigger," meaning a man who fights racism and oppression; Hardrock is a tragic figure since the modern technology of brain surgery has destroyed the character that beatings and prison could not.

Although some prisoners are receiving adequate mental health services from "competent and committed mental health professionals," prisons operate under "rules designed for punishment" — not treatment.
The HRW authors found that "many individual prison systems indicated they were unable to calculate the portion of their medical budgets devoted to mental health services." Mental health treatment, medications, and additional correctional staff for inmate supervision do not come cheap.
