The article presents information on the paper "Convict Control of Convicts," by Hans Reimer. The convict control of convict behavior is definitely related to the conflict situation between officers and convicts. The life of a criminal, in and out of prison, is characterized chiefly by conflict with society and its agents. The new man in a prison soon learns the necessity of responding to the prison situation according to the dictates of the rest of the convict body. In any penal institution it becomes necessary to assign important administrative tasks to inmates.
