This study aims to analyze prisoners' experiences of prison drug-treatment programs in Sweden. How do they describe their personal relationships with the prison staff and with other prisoners in the wings? How do they describe the social climate and the control in drug-treatment wings? How could differences between these wings be understood?
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The data consist of observations and face-to-face interviews with male and female prisoners in three Swedish prison drug-treatment wings. Analytical concepts used are roles, relationships and rituals.
The prisoners' relationships with prison officers seemed connected to what kinds of rituals the prisoners and staff engaged in. In all three treatment wings, the staff and prisoners were involved in natural rituals. This was most frequent in the women's prison with a 12-step program. The prisoners were frustrated with control measures but were mainly positive to the measures as preventing drugs from coming into the wing.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: Only three prison wings, however in varying prisons, have been studied.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: These results gives a useful prisoners' perspective on the development of drug-prevention and treatment in different kinds of prisons.
本研究旨在分析瑞典囚犯在监狱戒毒治疗项目中的经历。他们如何描述自己与监狱工作人员和其他同犯之间的个人关系？他们如何描述戒毒治疗翼的社会氛围和控制？如何理解这些翼之间的差异？
设计/方法/方法：数据由对瑞典三个监狱戒毒治疗翼的男性和女性囚犯的观察和面对面访谈组成。使用的分析概念是角色、关系和仪式。
囚犯与监狱官员的关系似乎与囚犯和工作人员参与的仪式类型有关。在所有三个治疗翼中，工作人员和囚犯都参与了自然仪式。这在有 12 步康复计划的女子监狱中最为常见。囚犯对控制措施感到沮丧，但主要对这些措施表示肯定，因为这些措施可以防止毒品进入翼区。
研究局限性/影响：仅研究了三个监狱翼，但在不同的监狱中。
原创性/价值：这些结果为不同类型监狱中预防和治疗毒品的发展提供了有用的囚犯视角。
