Answer the following statement true (T) or false (F)
Suppose you are incarcerated in a state prison. You are curious about the inmate subculture and inmate code that you keep hearing about and ask some other inmates about it. You also ask them to explain why they think an inmate subculture forms. One inmate, Frank, explains to you that all the things that inmates are deprived of when they are incarcerated, such as freedom, personal liberty, heterosexual relationships, and security, force inmates to create their own subculture. However, another inmate, Carl, disagrees with Frank. He argues that this subculture does not develop in prison; rather, he argues that inmates already hold the values of the prison code on the outside and bring them to prison with them. The process of developing the inmate subculture that Carl is referring to is the:
A. incapacitation model. B. prisonization model. C. deprivation model. D. importation model.
