Document Summary
The norms values, belief system that facilitate the operation of the prison. Standards we feel ppl should be abiding by. How we feel the institution should be run. Many say that high levels of prisonization, leads to recidivism. You become so used to that way of life that it becomes difficult. Diff btw cultures and the subcultures with subcultures within it are the sets of ideas. Subcultures take the ideas from the culture and alter them in some way. Subculture: takes its norms from the larger culture, but turns them upside down . Normative culture: official rules, standards enforced within prison itself. Both work simultaneously and govern behavior of those residing or working within that place. Prisonization socialized into the subculture involved in prison subculture. Provides prisoners with sense of cohesion, solidarity, and a front against the institution that"s why it develops. Don"t interfere with interests of others: (most important) don"t rat.
