چکیده

administer effectively the "promise of punishment", that is, discipline, isolation, and rehabilitation, given budgetary constraints and the prevalent view in free society (and even in the Penitentiary Administration itself) that criminals, once tainted by the experience of prison, were inevitably doomed to become social pariahs. The most stimulating chapter in the book, although the most scantily researched, deals with the "New prison subcultures" (Chapter 3). Here the author raises the fascinating issue of the prisoners' challenge to authority and their assertion of individuality in a totally dehumanizing environment. Whether it was through the evolution of an incomprehensible argot, flamboyant tattooing (a practice that criminal anthropologists maintained demonstrated criminals' atavistic and "savage" propensities), pornographic drawings, homosexual relationships, or even occasionally riots, prisoners found ways of undermining disciplinary measures and of ridiculing the official morality of the prison system. O'Brien gives a striking demonstration of how the penitentiary had the effect of refining deviance, rather than correcting it. Ruth Harris St Antony's College, Oxford
