Yet these studies' relevance to inmate-oninmate victimization among older prisoners was limited because the examined samples came from a small number of prisons and these samples had few (if any) aging inmates, largely because of the low representation of older inmates (50 and above) in the general prison population.…”

Importation, deprivation, and varieties of serving time: An integrated-lifestyle-exposure model of prison offending

“…Some researchers found that the mismatch of inmate types and certain prison environments produced both victimization and offending at the individual level (Wright, 1991a(Wright, , 1991b. For example, Poole and Regoli (1983) showed that inmate characteristics were used to select individuals into types of facilities and suggested that certain facilities fostered the development of inmate codes that mediated the direct effects of inmate characteristics.…”

Predictors of self‐reported prison misconduct

“…At the same time, one may predict that those incoming inmates with juvenile or adult prison experience may be more likely to 'run the rackets' or victimize prisoners in other ways (Irwin, 1980).
