Total Institutions and Deprivations
Keywords:
Total Institutions, Deprivation Model, Adaptations on prison subculturesAbstract
In defining his famous concept of Total Institutions, Goffman describes the key characteristics of totalitarian systems in institutions such as prisons. Should a person live in such a system, it affects the whole personality and strongly attacks the resident's identity. This article formulates a theoretical framework that helps to explain the Deprivation Model and Adaptations on prison subcultures. The Deprivation Models states that prison subcultures develop as a response to a number of deprivations that prison offers: Liberty, Goods and Services, Heterosexual Relationships, Autonomy and Security. This text shows how a variety of causal factors interact to create an institutional environment in which routine incidents can develop a radical form of adaptations like suicide.
