Historical, logical, systematic-structure, specific-sociological methods were used in the preparation of studies. Analytical-synthetical methods were used in the search and analyzing of the literature; contrastive analysis helped to determine the essence of the concepts of traditional and prison folklore. Results: comparative analysis of traditional and prison folklore (their aims, forms, subject matter) has made it possible to reaffirm the hypothesis that inspite of fundamental changes of the modern society, prison folklore continues to use traditional folklore perverting its values, adversely affecting the mind of the young generation.
