Vulnerable Prisoner Masculinities in an English Prison
In: Men and masculinities, S. 1097184X1988896
ISSN: 1552-6828
Scholarship on prison masculinities to date has primarily centered on the most revered, dominant, or hegemonic forms, with little attention to how subordinated prisoners negotiate masculinities at the bottom of prisoner hierarchies. This article, drawing from a wider qualitative study on "revolving door" imprisonment, charts the shift from normative to subordinate masculinity for a group of men housed in a segregated Vulnerable Prisoner Unit (VPU) in an English prison. I show how these men, influenced by their previous prison status and criminal history, adopted different—more costly and high-risk—situationally adaptive strategies in negotiating their masculinities at the bottom of prison hierarchies. Exploring their subordinated prison identities reveals the dynamic, relational, fragile, and spatial elements of their masculinities. I conclude by suggesting that a greater focus on subordinated carceral masculinities adds a much-needed divergence from the preoccupation with hegemonic or dominant prison masculinities. This divergence offers researchers a new opportunity to shape and to inform policy debates on how, in extreme environments like the prison, alternative ways of "being a man" might be opened up to those who have suffered at the most brutal end of prison hierarchies.

Self-Governing Prisons: Prison Gangs in an International Perspective
In: Butler , M , Slade , G & Dias , C 2018 , ' Self-Governing Prisons: Prison Gangs in an International Perspective ' , Trends in Organized Crime . https://doi.org/10.1007/s12117-018-9338-7
This paper finds qualified support for the use of Skarbek's (2011, 2014) governance theory to understand the emergence of prison gang-like groups in Kyrgyzstan, Northern Ireland and Brazil. However, Skarbek's (2011, 2014) governance theory has little to say about how many prison gangs emerge and how they organise comparatively outside the US context. This paper argues that variation in the number of gangs and their monopolization of informal governance can only be explained by considering importation and deprivation theories alongside governance theories. These theories factor in variation in prison environments and pre-existing societal divisions imported into prison, which affect the costs on information transmission and incentives for gang expansion. In particular, the paper pays particular attention to the wider role social and political processes play in influencing whether monopoly power by prison gangs is supported and legitimized or not.

Minors in prison: prison stories and storytelling ; Mineurs incarcérés : récits de prison et prison des récits
Our study tried to return and analyse 20 biographical stories of imprisoned minors, in minor neighbourhoods of two arrest houses and a prison centre. The data collected allowed us to shift the eye, from a question about the 'passing to act' and the 'sense of punishment', to an analysis of biographic reports to prison and the institutional functioning of juvenile neighbourhoods, the exercise of power within them, and how to deal with them as a detainee. The methodological framework provides data on the ordinary, banal and daily experience of detainees, both from a biographical and institutional point of view. In this context, like our previous work at the stopping house [1], the 'miners' district was seized as a crossing point, a point to which individual destinies converge. This point of passage is not meaningless for the actor; as a specific episode of existence, detention forces the locked actor to 'biographical work', during which past, present and future experiences are receding, and where self-thinking is to be redefined.

The article presents the characteristics of the language used in the prison employees and inmates. There is a nonverbal language, gesture that is learned by imitation two social categories in the everyday interaction. And there are two types of verbal language - one official and one secret slang. In the universe of prison three languages intertwine not possible without each other. To understand the functioning of an institution's total language understanding is essential, for it is vital for human interaction flow, understanding and functioning of formal and informal rules for the two categories internalization of social values.
