Social Relations among Inmate Addicts

Department of Sociology, Loyola Marymount University, University of California (Los Angeles)

In an attempt to treat a relatively neglected aspect of the inmate social system, this paper analyzes friendship patterns among inmate-addicts sen tenced to a NARA program in a federal penitentiary. Two important features of these relationships are the fact that most of the friendships were not indigenous to the institution but instead were developed prior to confinement and that, second, these friendships became the basis for con tractual arrangements which enabled the inmates to cope with the thera peutic stresses imposed on them.
