The Interrogation Room Analysis

The interrogation room is seen from two opposite views. The suspect sees it as the end. The place where their life either comes crashing down, or a place to provide information that could lead to an arrest. The detective sees it simply as his work space. Both views see the Out, however. The imaginary window to the outside world somewhere in the room. The suspects see this as the thing that will help them through this time of their life. It is what will help them answer every question in a believable manner, and every excuse that will come off as legitimate. Most guilty suspects are looking for the Out the moment they walk into the interrogation room. Detectives wait for suspects to try and find a way to use the Out to their advantage, and then they start asking the real questions. They ask the questions that someone would only answer truthfully if they were truly innocent, or if they were looking for a way to ease some of the potential consequences they might face. The intended audience of this passage ranges from those that are fascinated by criminal law and the interrogation process, to psychologists studying the behaviors of suspects while they are in the interrogation room. The purpose of this passage is to inform readers of the different behaviors of suspects in interrogation rooms, and how many suspects seek the Out before being asked questions
