This article explores the importance of social bonds in facilitating an investment in prosocial behavior amongst female prisoners working as HIV peer educators. Female prisoners can lack strong prosocial attachments to both individuals and institutions prior to incarceration. Absent this bond, little prevents the female prisoner from recidivating. Prison provides an opportunity to fashion new attachments that will assist in the reintegrative process. One way to create strong bonds of attachment, particularly for women, is through working as an HIV peer educator while incarcerated. In order to measure attachment levels, interviews were conducted with 49 female prisoners who worked in two HIV prison-based peer programs during their incarceration. Female peers developed strong attachments to one another. Such attachments were formed while incarcerated and were maintained upon release, thus serving to bolster support for newfound prosocial identities.

所有人都在抵抗线上：第一站，在基于HIV监狱的同伴计划中生产亲社会的监狱附属物

本文探讨了社会纽带在促进作为艾滋病毒同伴教育者的女性囚犯亲社会行为方面的投资的重要性。女囚犯在被监禁之前可能对个人和机构缺乏强烈的亲社会依恋。缺乏这种联系，几乎无法阻止女囚犯下沉。监狱提供了塑造新附件的机会，这将有助于重新融入社会。建立牢固的依恋纽带的一种方法，特别是对女性而言，是在被关押期间作为艾滋病毒同伴教育者。为了衡量依恋程度，对49名女囚犯进行了采访，这些女囚在被监禁期间曾在两个基于艾滋病监狱的同伴项目中工作。女同伴彼此之间建立了强烈的依恋关系。
