Abstract
A limited number of studies have examined disciplinary violations in female penal institutions. The purpose of this note was to compare female and male inmates on rates of disciplinary infractions over a four-year period. Data for this study were obtained from the Texas Department of Corrections. Two female and two male prison units were matched on the basis of unit size and security classification. Variations in the levels of misconduct across and within these subgroups were explored and are described.
