女性受刑人之親密關係與情誼之探究

女性受刑人常是被遺忘的一群，多數的研究以男性受刑人爲主，研究結果常無法概化至女性受刑人上，而女性受刑人的適應有其特殊性，並面臨不同的問題，而我國獄政的發展與國外相較有非常大的差異，在不同時代背景與環璄脈絡下所發展出的我國女性監獄之研究不僅缺乏，也往往被忽視。因此本研究採用質性研究法的敘事分析法，對一所台灣女性監所之女性受刑人之研究對象採立意抽樣，共有15名受訪者，以半結構方式進行深度訪談，資料分析則採用類別－內容之分析方式；研究結果發現因單一性別的環境有利於同性戀行爲的發展而導致同性戀的普遍性；參與同性戀者的心境可分爲：我倆沒有明天、各取所需及大玩時間遊戲；而在虛擬家庭上則可分爲輩分的稱謂及基於利益而結合。受刑人間的友誼則可分爲對他人的不信任、表裡不一、維持表面上的和諧、少數知心好友及獨善其身等五類。

The female inmates are often a group of forgotten part due to the majority of prison research focusing upon male prisoners. The research outcomes are often unable to generalize to female inmates and their prison settings. However female inmates always face challenges and predicaments in prison. Also, the particular types of prison subcultures among female inmates may well be developed. The most obvious types of subculture are homosexuality, pseudo-families and interpersonal relationship. This study includes a total of 15 female inmates from a female prison in Taiwan. The research method engaged in an in-depth, semi-structured qualitative approach. Throughout the course of this study, these women voiced a number of homosexual motivations and popularity, make-believe, and kinship. The findings reveal that the sole sex environment could easily lead to homosexuality development. The participants' homosexual attitudes divide into game playing, economic manipulation and loneliness. Pseudo-families may come from an economic factor and have the characteristics of polite name and rank. In Final, interpersonal relationship can be divided into five categories: untrust to other people, thinking in one way and behaving in another, developing surface harmony, making a very small number of friends and doing their good time.
