Abstract: Females and males travel different (i.e., gendered) paths into the criminal justice system and prison that are reflective of differences in socioeconomic status and degree of economic marginalization. Heretofore, assessments of the prison experience between the sexes have failed to account for differences in offense type (e.g., white-collar vs. non-white-collar) prior to incarceration—the effects of which could theoretically increase or decrease the likelihood of institutional maladjustment and reoffending.
