-This fieldsite works for examining this subculture because you get a chance to actually interact with the inmates and understand them as themselves and as their characters.
-We observe that even in this subculture there is a system of hierarchy within the cast. We also observe the way in which the inmates transform into their character and the connections they have with the parts they "play."
-One value of this subculture is being true to one's character. The inmates clearly value the connections they have with the characters they "play." Some of the norms are the rehearsals the inmates have.
-An interview technique used in understanding the subculture was realizing why certain players played certain parts. The researcher also chose not to find out the crimes of the inmates until the end so as not to judge them while interviewing the subculture. He also asked them their ideas and opinions of the play and its characters in order to receive different feedback on the play.

I totally agree with your answers. I do believe that the inmates were really intouch with there characters and they understood what the character was going through which was just about the same with what they was going through. Great blog!
