Abstract
From a 1979 nationwide self-report survey of 11,397 inmates in state penal institutions, 5,385 of them black, a profile of black inmates based on comparisons with their white counterparts is constructed. Areas of analysis include: personal characteristics, drug use, current offense and sentence, probation and incarceration history, conformity to prison rules, prison recreation and work activities, and interaction withfamily members andfriends outside ofprison. Implications for racial discrimination in the prison setting are explored, and the need for treatment, facility, and program reform is noted.
