Theories of prison violence and behavior are often divided
into the indigenous and importation model. This paper
utilizes Irwin and Cressey’s importation model and integrates
it with elements of Miller’s theory of a lower-class subculture
explaining prison violence. The paper also examines other
relevant theories of violent subcultures to enhance the
argument that most prison violence is not indigenous to the
prison but is brought to the institution as part of a pre-existing
value.
