List and define the three different lifestyles researcher Esther Heffernan found as indicative of lifestyle adaptation in female prisons
What will be an ideal response?
The square, the cool, and the life were indicative of three styles of adaptation to prison life.
Square inmates had few early experiences with criminal lifestyles and tended to sympathize with the values and attitudes of conventional society.
Cool prisoners were more likely to be career offenders. They tended to keep to themselves and generally supported inmate values.
Women who participated in the life subculture were quite familiar with lives of crime. Many had been arrested repeatedly for prostitution, drug use, theft, and so on. They were full participants in the economic, social, and familial arrangements of the prison.
