Overview

This study explores the social processes of institutional life, such as prisonization and general misconduct, from a multilevel perspective. According to the author, "an integrated theory of prisonization is developed that incorporates individual and contextual effects into one parsimonious design using multilevel data from over 1,000 inmates in 30 prisons across Kentucky, Tennessee, and Ohio." Gillespie teaches criminal justice and criminology at East Tennessee State University. Annotation (c)2003 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
