From a half-remembered pub conversation with a prison officer, many years ago:
The lowest-status prisoners are those convicted of sexual offences involving children, with other sexual offenders a bit higher up the status scale. (That, according my source in the pub, is always true even though the gravity of the offences might be vastly different. So, for example, someone serving a one month sentence for voyeurism involving kids is considered to be of far lower status than someone serving a life sentence for multiple rapes against women).
Just above sex offenders come bag snatchers and pickpockets.
Domestic burglars are also 'low status', whereas as offenders who've stolen vast quantities of luxury goods from warehouses are 'high status'.
Those convicted of drug offences fall into two categories, with drug addicts who were simply dealing to help fund their addiction definitely being very much 'low status', whereas those involved in shipping vast quantities of drugs across the world being very much 'high status'.
Muggers are 'low status', whereas those who've been involved in the armed robbery of banks are 'high status'.
Anyone from the upper echelons of organised crime is always very close to the top of the tree in terms of prison status but the most highly-regarded offenders are those who've killed police officers, as long as they did so in the pursuit of crime. (A terrorist who's killed a police officer might be far lower down the scale).
