The process in which inmates become assimilated to the prison subculture is called Prisonization.

Prisonization is the familiarization of the inmates to the social life in prison community. This represents the negative psychological effects of imprisonment.

Prisonization is the process where the inmates adhere to an informal inmate code, accepting values supporting criminal behavior to survive in the facility.
