Answer to Question 1

The adopted style indicates that women associate with other prisoners and enjoy their associations. A majority of these women get along with corrections officers. The convict style model involves spending time with only one or two others, yet they like to associate with other inmates like the women in the adopted style. The convict style has difficulty getting along with corrections officers. The isolate style is characterized by preferring to be alone when not locked down. They are typically alienated from other prisoners, and this makes them feel no control over their environment.

Answer to Question 2

Fictive families and same-sex relationships are the two social structures in women's prisons. Fictive families are make-believe families that consist of mothers, fathers, grandparents, aunts, uncles, and cousins. The mothers typically provide emotional support for the younger offenders. Same-sex relationships are typically homosexual relationships where one female is viewed upon as butch and the other female takes on the femme role. The butch role is expected to be strong and in control, and the femme takes on the docile role. Ward and Kassebaum found that women in prison cope by establishing homosexual alliances. Giallamnardo found that some women form fictive families in prison. Hefferman found that the fictive kinship was present.
