Are advantaged offenders defenseless against the harshness of prison life? Based upon a qualitative study of the prison adjustment of advantaged offenders--those who, prior to prison, possessed college degrees and held high status occupations with commensurately high incomes--this book challenges the "special sensitivity" hypothesis and concludes that these offenders adjust well to incarceration.

They also adopted effective coping strategies.
