From the cover: “In articles written especially for this book nine social scientists explore the complex social relations between prisoners, guards, administrators, teachers, tradesmen, and professional personnel in prisons. Not only are their insights use- ful in solving the unique problems of prison organization, but the articles also provide a new perspective for under- standing larger societies. One question particularly challenged the researchers: What causes a prisoner to become "hardened" or rehabilitated or to remain unaffected by his prison expe rience: They found that an inmate's be- havior is shaped not so much by his own personality traits as by his relationships with other people and with groups. In fact, many traits of the individual inmates and staff members are properties of the organization - not of the person.”
