Research summary: Reactions of Male and Female Inmates to Prison Confinement: Further Evidence for a Two-Component Model

Dec 31, 2012

The goal of the study was to address the limitations of previous studies on the Two-Component Model of inmates’ reaction to prison confinement, and present the analysis of the impact of confinement on both male and female inmates in a federal co-correctional facility. Overall, the findings provide further evidence in support of the Two-Component Model, and that the effects of prison confinement are similar on both sexes in direction but at different levels of intensity.

This research summary, prepared by the AIA Academy of Architecture for Justice (AAJ) in 2012, includes implications for design practice and is adapted from:
