Summary/Abstract: The article deals with the prison subculture as a side and destructive phenomenon, which has been observed in our domestic penal institutions for years. Given the background of the traditional categorization of prisoners (“elite”, “non-elite”, “victims”), the article presents the image of prisoners called “dodgers” who – as there are not many of them – exist on the edge of a subculture world, making attempts to become a part of the present and significantly modified in recent years subculture structures, which are based mainly on financial relationships.
