Authors:Isabel S. Silva, Pedro Marques, Andreia Nisa, Sandra Carvalhinho, Ana Gil, Oscar Silva, Ana Bartolo Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Research is still needed to promote the development of structured art-based programs in prisons to strengthen socio-emotional skills. “Free Spirits” emerges as an innovative intervention that involves artistic and participatory co-creation dynamics in theater and music. A mixed-method quasi-experimental study was conducted in a Portuguese prison. Using self-report measures (emotional regulation, resilient coping) and a Go/No-Go paradigm (inhibitory control), quantitative data were collected pre- and posttest. A focus group was used to obtain participant’s perceptions. The results suggested the effectiveness of the intervention in promoting more adaptive emotional management strategies and in the improvement of inhibitory control.

Authors:Tereza Trejbalova, Carolyn B. Sufrin, Bethany Kotlar, Jennifer Saunders, Ellen Mason, Jenna Sherman, Rebecca J. Shlafer Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. The death penalty debate intensifies when condemned women are considered, at least in part because of the associations society holds between womanhood and motherhood. Consequently, the concept of motherhood inherently permeates every condemned woman's sentence. Using qualitative document analysis, we examine how pregnancy is accounted for in the death penalty statutes and execution protocols. In half of U.S. states, exceptions exist in the statutes preventing executions of pregnant people, but pregnancy is rarely mentioned in execution protocols. The findings highlight aspects of reproductive injustice. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2024-08-02T11:49:00Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855241263499

Authors:Mackenzie Freeman, Walter S. DeKeseredy, Elizabeth Moberly, Beth Currence, Jessie Haring Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Complex trauma history is one of the incarcerated girls’ most salient characteristics, and two of the most injurious outcomes are suicide ideation and attempted suicide. However, to the best of our knowledge, not one published study has thus far focused on the suicide experiences of rural girls in detention facilities. Guided by theoretical perspectives on females’ pathways into crime and using data derived from in-depth semistructured interviews with 39 girls housed in two West Virginia detention centers, the main objective of this article is to help fill a major gap in the extant literature on rural girls in conflict with the law. The key themes that emerged from qualitative data analyses are sleep deprivation, substance use, and a history of sexual and physical abuse.

Authors:Zachary Buckner, Kimberly Kaiser Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Offender readiness is important to the success of substance abuse and therapeutic programs. Prisons provide a variety of programs, including reentry, vocational, and creative programs that have been shown to improve reentry success. And yet, the concept of program readiness has not been examined in these contexts. We explore the development of a broader measure of program readiness. Toward this goal, we developed a preliminary generalized program readiness measure for correctional programming more broadly. Results supported a two-factor measure, desire for help and recognition of program needs. These findings support continued research and development of a generalized program readiness measure.

Authors:Shanhe Jiang, Eric G. Lambert, Monica Solinas-Saunders, Jianhong Liu, Jinwu Zhang Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. This study surveyed 322 officers at two prisons in China to investigate the influence of job demands (i.e., role overload and routinization), job resources (i.e., training, job autonomy, instrumental communication, and supervision), and demographic characteristics on workplace fear of victimization. Ordinary least squares (OLS) regression analysis indicated role overload was related to higher levels of fear, while training and job autonomy were related to lower levels. Routinization, instrumental communication, and supervision had nonsignificant effects. Male officers were more likely to report higher fear of victimization, as did staff at one of the two prisons.

Authors:Amanda L. Wiese, Thomas B. Sease, Kevin Knight Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. This study investigated the effect of therapeutic community programming and aftercare treatment completion on rearrest rates in the Southwest United States across 25 years. The asymptote of rearrest trajectories did not occur until 10 years post-release, although this varied by risk classification. Treatment receipt was not related to 25-year rearrest trajectories. However, people classified as higher risk were more likely to be rearrested than those classified a low risk while controlling for treatment receipt. Aftercare completion extended the time to arrest; individuals completing an aftercare program were less likely to be arrested, and high-risk participants that completed aftercare showed a similar rearrest trajectory as low-risk participants.

Authors:Arthur J. Lurigio Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. The year 2023 marked the 50th anniversary of mass incarceration in the United States. For six decades, the U.S. incarceration rate has been near the top among all countries worldwide. In five major sections, this article offers a brief retrospective on mass incarceration. The first defines the nature of prison sentences. The second describes the current prison population's characteristics. The third examines the growth of the prison population, highlighting politically motivated policies and laws. The fourth provides a reckoning of the collateral damage caused by mass incarceration. The fifth and final section considers strategies to reduce imprisonment and its attendant harms. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2024-04-17T08:26:00Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855241240131

Authors:Jennifer Weger, Michael Weinrath, Steven Kohm Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. This study examines news media representations of Canadian prisons pre and post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Of interest was how media framed coverage of punishment and prisons with respect to discrete, event-driven traditional myths (prisons are dangerous, inmates are violent, correctional officers are cruel) versus more systemic, reform-oriented stories (more rehabilitation needed, racialized peoples over-represented, prison conditions harsh). In a pre-post COVID-19 content analysis of 182 stories, prison articles actually declined. Some traditional prison myths were still present and reinforced, but other myths were challenged and some were rarely seen. Discussions of prison reform were also frequently observed and grew during the pandemic. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2024-03-29T06:13:17Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855241240138

Authors:Bryce E. Peterson, Ki Deuk Kim, Rochisha Shukla Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. Contraband negatively affects the safety and security of correctional institutions. Extant research has relied on descriptive analyses or limited measures of contraband. Drawing upon established theories of institutional misbehavior—the deprivation model, importation model, and management perspective–the study examines facility-level and correctional population characteristic correlates of contraband in 301 prisons across six U.S. states. Findings confirm the relevance of individually examining risk factors by type of contraband, including drugs, cellphones, weapons, and total contraband. Lower security prisons, prisons providing substance use treatment, and those employing more women staff had fewer contraband drugs, weapons, and cellphones. Providing outside work opportunities and work-release programs also reduced contraband weapons. Citation: The Prison Journal PubDate: 2024-03-26T08:57:50Z DOI: 10.1177/00328855241240143

Authors:Ann De Shalit, Emily van der Meulen, Sandra Ka Hon Chu, Rhiannon Thomas Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. After years of advocacy by a range of civil society groups, supported by scholarly and empirical research, Canada's federal prison service implemented a needle exchange program at select carceral institutions in 2018. Since the program rollout, however, uptake has remained minimal. To understand why, we conducted the first independent and national study of the program, interviewing 30 people who were incarcerated at one of the prisons with a needle exchange. Our findings show that drug use stigma and anticipated or actual reprisal from correctional officers, particularly related to breaches of confidentiality for program participants, markedly impede access and utilization.

Authors:Jill Leslie Rosenbaum Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. This article draws on the author's 2023 Western Society of Criminology Paul Tappan Award address on her seminal work with adolescent girls in Flint Michigan. Echoing the major theme from that address, the article focuses on the need for practitioners and academics to collaborate and more actively engage in targeting programs relevant to the needs of young women. The Flint study identified great discrepancies between providers and girls regarding program relevancy and effectiveness, underscoring the importance of including adolescent girls’ voice in program development and evaluation, which is finally being addressed in contemporary programming.

Authors:Lukas Muntingh Abstract: The Prison Journal, Ahead of Print. South Africa has two fully privatised prisons, each housing some 3,000 prisoners. Their history has been mired in controversy from the start, and this has not improved over a period of nearly 25 years. Recent events affecting the security and integrity of the two facilities provide a useful opportunity to reflect on these private prisons as well as wider issues regarding private sector involvement in the prison system. The intersection of politics, organised labour, private sector interests, and corruption have in all likelihood rung the death knell for private prisons in South Africa.
