Through individualized interviews, a RepGrid, in which elements and constructs were planned in advance, was applied to 18 parti cipants The selected elements denoted warmth and competence, according to the Stereotype Content Model. The analysis of the cognitive structure, conflicts and self-definition allowed identify relevant differences among inmates and in how their identities are construed throughout the process.
