Based on ethnographic fieldwork in a U.S. men's prison, I investigate how this
social and cultural context structures relations between correctional officers
and inmates with severe mental illness. Utilizing interpretivist perspectives, I
explore how these relations are structured by trust, respect, and meanings
associated with mental illness. Officers' discretionary responses to mentally ill
inmates included observations to ensure psychiatric stability and flexibility in
rule enforcement and were embedded within their role to ensure staff and inmate
safety. Officers identified housing, employment, and social support as important
for inmates' psychiatric stability as medications. Inmates identified officers'
observation and responsiveness to help seeking as assisting in institutional
functioning. These findings demonstrate that this prison's structures and values
enable officers' discretion with mentally ill inmates, rather than solely
fostering custodial responses to these inmates' behaviors. These officers'
responses to inmates with mental illness concurrently support custodial control
and the prison's order.
