Answer (3)
Degrade is the word that would best fit in the sentence.
Degrade is to have something gradually removed or diminished, therefore it can replace "take away" the rest of the words do not fit into that particular sentence.
The best word to complete the sentence is 'degrade,' which reflects how imprisonment can lead to a loss of self-respect for prisoners.
