“…The strongest evidence for the importation model relates to the robust relationship between prior criminal history and subsequent violations of prison rules and prison offending (Cao et al, 1997;Gendreau et al, 1997;Gaes et al, 2002;DeLisi, 2003;Byrne and Hummer, 2007;Walters, 2007; cf.

“…Appropriate assessment of a given inmate's risk for violent or disruptive behavior is essential to ensure the safety of the prison environment. The assessment of violence risk involves consideration of factors associated with an increased likelihood of violence to guide security classification and placement (Austin, 2003;Byrne & Hummer, 2007). The need to assess risk for violence is of similar or greater concern to drug courts and other diversion programs.…”

This study examines the relationship between psychiatric symptoms and violent/disruptive behavior among 192 inmates who participated in prison-based substance abuse treatment. Participants came from two sites able to provide narrative reports of disciplinary actions in the Criminal Justice Drug Abuse Treatment Studies' Co-Occurring Disorders Screening Instrument study. In multivariate logistic models, a lifetime history of thought insertion/control ideation (OR, 11.6; 95% CI, 1.8-75.2), antisocial personality disorder (OR, 3.3; 95% CI, 1.2-8.9), and disciplinary action related to possession of controlled substances or contraband (OR, 4.9; 95% CI, 1.9-12.3) were associated with increased risk for violent or disruptive behavior while in prison, whereas lifetime phobic symptoms (OR, 0.2; 95% CI, 0.1-0.54) and high school graduation (OR, 0.4; 95% CI, 0.2-1.0) were associated with a decreased risk of violence and disruptive behavior in general. We conclude that, among inmates in substance abuse treatment, symptoms that increase risk for violence or disruptive behavior include thought control/insertion ideation and disciplinary infractions related to controlled substances, contraband, or failure to participate in assigned programs, as well a history of antisocial personality disorder.

“…Although inmate-on-inmate victimization appears to be a common occurrence that undermines prison safety and inmate rehabilitation (Bowker, 1980; Byrne & Stowell, 2007; DeLisi, 2003; Gibbons & Katzenbach, 2006; Gilligan & Lee, 2004; Hochstetler, Murphy, & Simons, 2004; McCorkle, 1992), correctional officials have a duty to protect prisoners from such victimization (Buchanan, 2007; Byrne & Hummer, 2007; Ross, 2005). Failure to protect prisoners can create a civil liability for correctional officers under the Eighth Amendment (see Farmer v. Brennan , 1994) if prisoners who are victimized by other prisoners “can show that officials knew of substantial risk of harm [victimization] and recklessly disregarded that risk” (Ross, 2005, p. 160).…”

The growing number of older prisoners in state and federal prisons has fostered an important discussion in literature regarding the potential benefits of age-segregated living arrangements for older inmates. This article begins with a brief review of the reasons for America's aging prison population. Thereafter, it uses a multidisciplinary literature review to clarify a 4-point rationale for age-segregated prisons: (a) cost savings via centralized health care for older prisoners; (b) the reduction of civil liabilities for correctional systems that centralize disability services as per requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; (c) the advancement of prisoner safety for older inmates; and (d) the promotion of rehabilitation by advancing treatment opportunities with a group that is most likely to desist from future criminal activity (in part) due to age-related desistance from crime. Conclusions focus on age segregation within the historical context of segregation in prison based on sociodemographic characteristics.
