THE AUTHOR BELIEVES THAT A PRISONER'S DEGREE OF PRISONIZATION OR HIS ASSIMILATION OF THE FOLKWAYS, MORES, CUSTOMS, AND GENERAL CULTURE OF THE PENITENTIARY ARE INFLUENCED BY VARIOUS FACTORS.

Abstract

SUCH FACTORS INCLUDE LENGTH OF SENTENCE, INDIVIDUAL DEGREE OF SOCIALIZATION, CONTINUANCE OF POSITIVE RELATIONSHIPS OUTSIDE PRISON WALLS, RELATIVE INTEGRATION INTO PRISON PRIMARY GROUPS, CHANCE PLACEMENT WITH PERSONS OF SIMILAR ORIENTATION, AND PARTICIPATION IN ABNORMAL SEXUAL ACTIVITY....TWH
