Abstract
Abstract: Based in two Canadian male penitentiaries, this study explores the social organisation of prison tattooing, a widespread but under‐researched practice identified in some epidemiological studies as a risk factor for Hepatitis C and HIV transmission. Qualitative and quantitative data are drawn from interviews with five incarcerated prison tattoo artists and 36 penal tattooing participants, who are also prison drug injectors, the sub‐population known to report the highest prison tattooing rates. Unlike epidemiological studies, respondents' ‘everyday knowledge’ and experiential accounts illuminate the highest risk moments intrinsic to prison tattooing and possible points of intervention and advocacy for penal health care providers. The article argues for a sterile (‘safe’) prison tattooing programme to be available in prisons.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
