The case discussed at the beginning of chapter 11 involved two men who murdered a correctional officer in an attempt to
escape from prison. As was noted, one of the men, Eric Robert, said he wished that he had killed more officers during his
escape attempt.
Answer the following questions.
1. Which theory of prison subculture – deprivation or importation- do you believe best describes Robert’s murderous rage?
2. Did Robert bring his attitudes toward correctional officers with him to prison?
3. Did Robert learn to resolve conflict by using violent means after he arrived in prison?
4. Can both perspectives (deprivation and importation) be used to form an integrated explanation of Robert’s violence?
5. Considering Irwin’s four role orientations: doing time, gleaning, jailing and disorganized, what role would you say Eric Robert played?
