“…Therefore, these behaviors may not constitute a risk factor per se . In contrast, they may rather capture individual skills and coping strategies that are needed to deal with the psychological effects of imprisonment (61). Finally, the IPB factor consists of items such as “tends to feel he is inadequate” and “tends to feel empty or bored.” Correlational analyses indicated rather weak associations between internalizing behavior and the risk measures.…”

Predicting Offenders' Institutional Misconduct and Recidivism: The Utility of Behavioral Ratings by Prison Officers

2018

Measures of current behavior are rarely incorporated into risk assessment. Therefore, the current study used a behavior rating scale to assess prison officers' observations of inmates prison behavior and examined the contribution of these ratings for risk assessment. Prison officers rated 272 sexual and violent offenders in three different correctional treatment facilities in Berlin, Germany. Factor analysis revealed three psychologically meaningful factors measuring externalizing, internalizing and adaptive prison behavior. The construct validity of the three factors was established through correlational analyses with standardized risk assessment instruments. Externalizing and internalizing behaviors were significant predictors of violent recidivism after release. In addition, externalizing was a significant predictor of institutional misconduct, whereas adaptive and internalizing behavior predicted whether an inmate was granted privileges (e.g., minimum-security confinement). Logistic regression analyses indicated that externalizing behavior ratings added incrementally to the Level of Service Inventory-Revised for the prediction of institutional misconduct and violent recidivism. The results indicate that prison officers observe important prison behaviors and that behavioral ratings can improve risk assessment.

“…These self-perceived strengths indicate their preparedness to start a job, take orders at work, respect schedules, assume responsibilities and work on a team. Such qualities show some beneficial effects to mitigate the destabilizing effect of the prison environment ( Wormith, 1984 ; Zamble and Porporino, 1988 ; Zamble, 1992 ; Johnson and Dobrzanska, 2005 ).…”

“…In order to avoid this destabilizing effect, it is important to stress one of the main instruments for acquiring values, knowledge, competencies, skills and attitudes: education. Incarceration can be a turning point for some people ( Johnson and Dobrzanska, 2005 ), an opportunity to increase pro-social attitudes and improve emotional well-being ( Wormith, 1984 ; Zamble and Porporino, 1988 ; Zamble, 1992 ). The activities inherent in the prison routine – such as work, educational or sociocultural activities, and the relationships established with the prison staff – are positively related to feelings of autonomy and well-being of the male and female inmates ( Goodstein et al, 1984 ; Gover et al, 2000 ; Liebling, 2004 ; García-Vita and Melendro Estefanía, 2013 ; Van der Laan and Eichelsheim, 2013 ).…”

Dropout, Autonomy and Reintegration in Spain: A Study of the Life of Young Women on Temporary Release

et al. 2020

This study analyses the psycho-educational and social paths of women prisoners after the time they drop out of school as minors, based on different variables related to autonomy and their preparedness to face temporary release. Methods: Qualitative and quantitative methods were used to analyse a national sample of 310 women prisoners (30.1% of the population) in 31 prisons through a mixedmode questionnaire and interview. We analysed the significant association of variables related to dropout and obtained a log-linear model that relates dropout to recidivism and Roma culture. Work experience was analysed using the McNemar test, and variables influencing the participant's job at the time of the study were analysed by applying cluster analysis. Results: Young women comprise 66.6% of individuals who drop of the education system as minors (primary 49.3% and secondary 22%). They drop out between the ages of 7 and 17, and have traits of greater vulnerability than those who stayed in school until adulthood. In this population, we find a significant association with various factors: belonging to Roma culture, having family members in prison and delinquent recidivism; and higher unemployment (43.4%) and low income before entering prison. This situation is increasing today. In prison, these women had more connection to education/training, which can improve their employability. They also encounter difficulties with personal security, decision-making, personal/professional dependence, planning for the future, administrative matters and handling information and communication technologies, jobseeking skills, etc. Their self-perceived strengths are, however, assuming responsibility, taking orders, respecting schedules and timetables, working on a team and feeling prepared to start a job, as well as having optimistic convictions about the future. Conclusion: The vulnerabilities and risk factors studied have a negative influence primarily on processes of personal, social and job autonomy in female minors who

“…Todėl kaip atsakas deprivacijos modeliui atsirado perkėlimo modelis, kurio šalininkai teigia, jog svarbesnis adaptacijos pataisos įstaigoje veiksnys yra ne pataisos įstaigos savybės ir su įkalinimu susijusios deprivacijos, o pačių nuteistųjų individualios charakteristikos, kurias jie atsineša į laisvės atėmimo vietą -jų turima patirtis, normos, įsitikinimai ir pan. (Gover, Mackenzie, & Armstrong, 2000;Wright, 1991). Abu modeliai yra sulaukę empirinio patvirtinimo ir šiuolaikiniuose tyrimuose jie suprantami ne kaip vienas kitą paneigiantys, o kaip vienas kitą papildantys (Dhami et al, 2007).…”

“…Patekimas į pataisos įstaigą siejasi su daugybe išbandymų ir neigiamų patirčių -nuteistiesiems tenka prisitaikyti prie naujos aplinkos ir taisyklių, susitaikyti su laisvės praradimu bei pasikeitusiu socialiniu statusu, priprasti prie privatumo trūkumo ir nuolatinio triukšmo, taip pat padidėja rizika patirti viktimizaciją (Windzio, 2006;Wolff, Shi, & Siegel, 2009). Pasak Haney (2002), patekimas į pataisos įstaigą kiekvienam asmeniui yra sunki patirtis ir, nors kai kuriems adaptuotis sekasi geriau, o kai kuriems blogiau, visgi tikriausiai tik mažai daliai nuteistųjų pavyksta išlikti neigiamai nepaveiktiems šios patirties.…”

Adaptacija pataisos įstaigoje – tai įkalinto asmens psichologinis ir elgesinis atsakas į pataisos įstaigos aplinką ir įkalinimo situaciją (Fedock, 2017). Sėkmingai adaptavęsi nuteistieji geba patenkinti savo pagrindinius poreikius, nekonfliktuoja nei su pataisos įstaigos administracija, nei su kitais nuteistaisiais, nepatiria stiprių neigiamų emocijų ir t.t. Manoma, kad nesėkminga adaptacija pataisos įstaigoje siejasi su mažesne motyvacija keisti savo nusikalstamą elgesį ir recidyvu (Loper, 2002; Zamble & Porporino, 1988). Nors nuteistųjų adaptacija pataisos įstaigose ir ją prognozuojančiais veiksniais užsienio mokslininkai domisi jau kelis dešimtmečius, Lietuvoje tokių tyrimų ypač trūksta. Šio tyrimo tikslas – nustatyti laisvės atėmimo bausmę atliekančių nuteistųjų adaptaciją Lietuvos pataisos įstaigose prognozuojančius veiksnius. Tyrime dalyvavo nuteistieji vyrai (N = 331) iš 5 Lietuvos pataisos įstaigų, jų amžius svyravo nuo nuo 18 iki 68 metų (M = 35,17, SD = 10,75). Adaptacijai įvertinti buvo naudojama Kalėjimo problemų skalė (Zamble & Porporino, 1988), Beck depresijos klausimyno antroji leidimo versija (Beck, Steer, & Brown, 1996) ir Beck nerimo klausimynas (Beck, Epstein, Brown, & Steer, 1988). Adaptacijos veiksniai buvo įvertinti demografinių duomenų anketa bei Kriminalinių nuostatų modifikuota skale (Simourd, 1997). Nustatyta, jog adaptaciją geriausiai prognozuoja kriminalinės nuostatos ir bendravimas su draugais arba partnere. Tirti veiksniai paaiškino iki 16 % adaptaciją vertinančių kintamųjų sklaidos.
