| Abstract: | Studies have shown that incarceration presents a greater intervention in women’s lives compared
to men. This chapter focuses on the comparison of perceived legitimacy and relations between
female and male prisoners in Slovene prisons. Results of statistical analyses based on a national
sample of prisoners (252 male prisoners and 20 female prisoners) highlighted the differences
between female and male prisoners’ feelings of obligation to obey the prison staff and
internalisation of subcultural norms, while no statistically significant differences were identified
with other tested factors: legitimacy, trust in authority, procedural justice, distributive justice,
effectiveness of the prison staff, cooperation with the prison staff, relations with the prison staff,
and relations with prisoners. It seems that female prisoners are more willing to obey prison
workers and are less inclined towards prison subculture. Findings indicate that the quality of
treatment of prisoners is invariant in all Slovenian prisons. The implications of these findings are
discussed.
