Elítélt fogvatartottak a státusz-hierarchiában

Abstract

The study compares the positions achieved in the prisoners’ status hierarchy by the female offenders committing a killing of a newborn and by male offenders convicted for pedophile acts. The paper analyses the possibilities of the vulnerable offenders convicted for the crimes mentioned above to change position within the ranking inside the institution, and in this context the study makes comparison between the male and female prisoners’ situation. The basis of the writing is the range of personal conversations carried out by the author with the persons charged with the delicts above, as well as conversations with prisoners sentenced for “other” crimes and labeled as credible sources in the prisons.
