Synthesized answer
The passages provided do not contain specific evidence from the book. They only state the book's thesis: that the institution, not the illness, is the most important factor in shaping a mental-hospital patient, and that patients' reactions resemble those of inmates in other institutions [Passage 1]. No examples, data, case studies, or other forms of evidence are included in the given text.
To answer the question fully, one would need additional passages from the book that detail the observations, comparisons, or research Goffman uses to support this thesis. The current passages only summarize the central argument, not the evidence behind it.
