Abstract
Objectives: The research aimed to investigate the ways of adjustment to imprisonment and recidivism. Method: 233 adult male prisoners in Israeli prisons completed a series of questionnaires. Results: Two ways of adjustment to prison life were identified: (1) addictive adjustment; (2) normative adjustment. Findings indicated that a perception of social affiliation, coping style and the characteristic of codependence correlated with adjustment to imprisonment and recidivism. Conclusions: Main contributions to knowledge include: (1) a high and medium level of codependence amongst Israeli prisoners (2) addictive adjustment is a common way of adjustment (3) recidivism is partially due to addiction to imprisonment, addiction to the criminal life style and addiction to a specific crime (sex crime).
