- Twelve in-depth interviews conducted with female correctional officers (COs) are utilized to answer two research questions: How do female COs view other women in corrections? and In what ways do these viewpoints influence the female CO position? Results indicate that participants viewed other women in corrections negatively. These viewpoints influenced the female CO position by furthering the 'ultramasculine' nature of the prison that rewards masculinity and discourages femininity.
