This book examines how young men between the ages of 18 and 21 make
the transition to prison life and how they adapt practically,
socially and psychologically. Based on extensive research in
Feltham Young Offenders Institution, this book examines in
particular the role of social support, both inside and outside
prison, in relation to their adaptation, along with the constructs
of trust, locus of control, and safety. It concentrates both on the
successful adaptation to prison life and on the experience of
individuals who have difficulties in adapting; it pays special
attention to those who harm themselves whilst in prison. It is the
first study to provide an in-depth account of the psycho-social
experience of imprisonment for young adults. Understanding this
early stage of imprisonment is of major importance to policy makers
and practitioners in the light of the fact that up to a half of
completed suicides occur within the first month in prison.
