Max Weber - Party


When you are in prison you are affiliated with where you are from.  SFV or San Fernando Valley is one of many valleys represented in California's corrections.  Weber describes parties as structures always struggling to be at the top or dominating the system.  Well, in prison this occurs more often than not.  Your race as well as where you are from can determine your position on the prison yard.  This, I believe, is very political in origin. Weber states that parties not only exist in politics but in social clubs as well.  They can be represented by ones class or status.  All of these factors including personal experience can play a role as to your own personal and political position on a prison yard.
