Content: Guards were explained by OJP Diagnostic Center & Brower (2013) as to have much respect for inmates who did not interfere with their activities. On the same note, OJP Diagnostic Center & Brower (2013) observed that the guards often tried to befriend with inmates who were productive, either in selling contraband or engaging in legal activities in the programs run in the favor. To gain the advantage of the guards creating a purpose for the prisoner, the prisoner needs to have some skills. The highly possible platform for the prisoner to gain the skills is through the programs run by the prison. To achieve the above, the prisoner has to assume the role of gleaning and later gain an advantage over the guards. Roles within the prison service
Konda, Reichard & Tiesman (2012) argued that to survive in prison meant being on a productive position that could amount to benefiting a group of stakeholders in the prison environment. When a prisoner gains a productive position, they are likely less to be touched because they serve a huge number of people who may offer to protect. Therefore, survival would mean that the prisoner either assumes the gleaning or the jailing role. The above two roles are better positioned for survival due to the socialization component that comes with them. The gleaning role prisoner is highly productive from legal point of view and may produce goods that might be of value to the guards and the inmates.
