Coping with Imprisonment

Edited by Nicolette Parisi

From Chapter 1: “Imprisonment generates some degree of pressure in each and every inmate. Prison pressures may lead inmates to choose one or more strategies of coping with their environment. The array of interactions in prison is a mixture of both pressures and reactions to pressures. In this chapter, we begin by reviewing the prisoner's pressures. The second half of the chapter will focus on alternatives to ameliorate these pressures. Later chapters will present the results from studies of particular pressures and/or coping responses within prison.”
