Recognizing the major scholarly contributions to criminology by the noted Irish criminologist, Ian O’Donnell, The Prison Journal invited seven contemporary corrections and punishment scholars to offer insights into O’Donnell’s new book, Prison Life: Pain, Resistance, and Purpose. Offering contextually rich descriptions of prisoner life, the text features four case study prisons—H Blocks, Northern Ireland; Eastham Unit, Texas; Isir Bet, Ethiopia; and ADX Florence, Colorado, in pivotal time periods and through an individual's custodial career in each institution. The symposium discussants focus on O’Donnell's conceptual framework—the degree of prison integration, system and staff regulation, and legitimacy—and how these reflect the key interactions between punishment and society across time and culture.

Authors:Lea Itzik First page: 177 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Israel's military prisons operate a rehabilitation program for imprisoned soldiers based on a psychosocial diagnosis. The program's essential aim is to help soldiers complete their service and avoid re-incarceration. This article describes the program, its function related to the integrative law court, and its role as the army's probation service. It further presents a unique perspective regarding military rehabilitation programs, demonstrating how rehabilitation leads to recidivism. It concludes with a recommendation for incorporating an organizational change in the program that involves redistributing the existing sections to operate under two different authorities.

Authors:Christopher Dean First page: 194 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Internationally, secure institutions face a range of challenges presented by detainees convicted or suspected of terrorism-related crimes and those interested or involved in groups that support ideologically justify violence (IJV). Currently, there is an apparent absence of a theoretically grounded but operationally focused paradigm (or conceptual lens) for understanding and preventing IJV within such settings. In response, this article presents such a paradigm, to inform and direct the implementation of coherent organizational policies and practices to address this issue. The paradigm, its theoretical basis, its implications for correctional policy and practice, and limitations are outlined and discussed.

Authors:Michael Weinrath, Rosemary Ricciardelli First page: 215 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. The current study uses a mixed methods approach to assess quality of prison life in Canada's Atlantic provincial correctional institutions. Questions from the Measurement of the Quality of Prison Life were adapted to create scales to assess prisoner climate dimension perceptions, with open-ended questions providing qualitative data. Across eight prison sites, statistical analysis revealed between prison differences and confirmed that prison sentence location did matter. The qualitative data emergent themes also produced several consistent concerns that Likert responses could not capture, ranging from primary needs to service desires. Research affirms the importance of studying prison environments and supports the use of mixed methods, as qualitative data can provide greater insight into the lived experience of inmates and better chart change that is beneficial to them.

Authors:Karen Booyens, Stephan Geyer, Andries Masenge First page: 239 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. The purpose of this study was to create a profile of the sentenced older adult male offender incarcerated in South African prisons. The findings of this investigation are based on face-to-face surveys with 88 older adult male inmates. In order to develop a comprehensive profile, the study explored offenders’ backgrounds, previous and current offenses, lifestyle patterns, physical and mental health, institutional living conditions, release, reintegration, and mortality in prison. These domains are discussed in detail, and recommendations are offered for the treatment and care of this offender group. The recommendations may be applicable to other developing countries in the Global South. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2023-02-17T06:33:15Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855231154799

Authors:Silvia Gagliardi, Orlaith Rice First page: 258 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. This article is an exploratory study of young adult incarcerees’ perspectives on the impact of “Gaisce,” a self-development program for youth in Irish custody. Drawing on 10 semistructured interviews with male participants and a review of previous studies of this cohort, the article highlights their perceptions of Gaisce's strengths and weaknesses, paving the way for further reflection on self-development programs in custodial settings. Taking place during COVID-19, the investigation provides unique insight into the experiences of young adults participating in such a program during a pandemic.

Vulnerability linked to offenders tends to focus on victims and society. Understanding prisoner vulnerability is important to better address the negative impact of prison life. This article reviews the evidence of vulnerability reported by male prisoners. Using the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analysis guidelines, 3039 citations were filtered. Data were analyzed using thematic analysis, highlighting four areas of vulnerability: uncertainty, environmental vulnerability, fear of harm, and loss of human connection. The article notes that basic principles for the treatment of prisoners are not met in many areas, indicating a need to shift conceptualizations of vulnerability.

Authors:Sarah Y. Moore, Tanya Erzen First page: 3 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Benefits of college in prison (CIP) programs often center on reduced recidivism and other post-release adjustment outcomes. This article argues for broader recognition of positive outcomes to include well-being, coping, and academic engagement for incarcerated students, noting the specific challenges for female-identifying inmates with backgrounds that often include high levels of abuse and violence. Using longitudinal data from female-identifying students in a CIP program and comparison data from a matched non-incarcerated sample, improvements in these outcome measures are demonstrated as incarcerated students remain in the program. Importantly, their measures of well-being, coping, and academic engagement were significantly better than the matched non-incarcerated sample for most measures. Further, the possible underlying mechanism for the findings is discussed, linking them to program characteristics that emphasize the development of community, agency, and personalized—in-person education—qualities that are in alignment with trauma-informed practices.

Authors:Matthew W. Logan, Joshua Long, Matt DeLisi, Andrea R. Hazlewood First page: 23 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Inmate misconduct is a focal concern among those who live and work in prisons, and is committed primarily by a few offenders with discernable backgrounds. The current study examines the most prolific rule violators (the top 1 and 10%) among a large sample of inmates housed across Ohio correctional facilities. We focus on the characteristics that predict membership into these categories and whether differences in their rates of occurrence exist between males and females. Findings show more similarities than differences between groups. Implication for theory and practice are discussed, as well as suggestions for future research.

Authors:Ayako Sasaki, Akemi Mochizuki, Daiki Yoshihara First page: 45 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. This study examined the prevalence and risk factors of abusive parenting among the incarcerated population in Japan. Using a national survey of incarcerated parents (95 women and 79 men), the results showed that incarcerated mothers are at greater risk of abusive parenting and that childhood abuse history predicted abusive parenting for mothers but not for fathers. On the other hand, intimate partners’ parental attitudes impacted the abusive parenting of both incarcerated mothers and fathers, but differing by gender. Special attention was given to gender differences throughout the study, aiming to guide gender-responsive parenting programs in correctional settings.

Authors:Reza Barmaki First page: 68 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Official narratives have often blamed the Aboriginal peoples of Canada for their over-representation in Canada's federal prisons. This article argues that the problem is partially due to the problematic design and application of risk-assessment tools that have produced dubious results for Aboriginal offenders. This, in turn, has resulted in a vicious circle, beginning with labeling Aboriginal offenders as high-security risk offenders, followed by the lowering of their chances of getting paroled, and ending in their long-term stays in federal prisons. This last stage, in turn, becomes justification for the other two. And so continues the circle. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2022-11-24T10:12:59Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855221139866

Authors:Annika Gunst, Irmeli Ryömä, Madeleine Andersson, Mari Laine, Patrick Jern First page: 91 Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Using paper surveys, we investigated sexual behaviors and desires of 181 inmates in a Finnish prison. Conjugal visits, sexual desire, and gender were the strongest predictors of sexual activity. Reports of coercive experiences were somewhat less prevalent than reported in international studies. Compared with population-based data, inmates reported fewer partnered behaviors, although their desires for these activities were similar. The masturbation frequency did not differ between the two populations; men generally masturbated more than they desired. Male prisoners who reported more masturbation also reported lower well-being. These results can be used to guide prisoners and staff on topics relevant to prisoner sexuality. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2022-11-25T08:34:42Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855221139867
