最近对长期监禁的研究描述了一种基本不变的囚犯适应模式。使用的数据从一个定性研究的男子在英国服无期徒刑，我认为，适应可能实际上比这些研究意味着更多，因为囚犯的年龄时，被判刑，因为特定的罪行的情况。参与者对监狱的改造“提议”的参与取决于判决如何影响他们的生命历程以及他们对犯罪的道德后果的理解。这些发现完善了对适应的理解，并表明重新关注道德反身性可能会在未来的监狱研究中取得成果。
Recent studies of long-term imprisonment describe a largely invariant pattern of prisoner adaptation. Using data from a qualitative study of men serving life sentences in England, I argue that adaptation may in fact vary more than these studies imply both because of the prisoner's age when sentenced and because of the circumstances of particular offences. Participants' engagement with the prison's rehabilitative 'offer' depended on how the sentence affected their life course and what they understood to be the moral ramifications of the offence. These findings refine understanding of adaptation and suggest that a renewed focus on moral reflexivity may bear fruit in future prison research.
