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 the
UKs 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. The book 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 while in prison. Young Men
in Prison 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 two-thirds of completed suicides occur within the
first month in prison.
