Abstract
Abstract A large-scale, nationwide evaluation of co-corrections was carried out in which a wide range of data was collected over a 4-month period including incident reports, the Correctional Institutions Environment Scale, and other measures of both inmate and staff attitudes as well as a plethora of background and behavioral measures. Preliminary analyses show that although there appears to be a decrement with increasing size, the co-correctional environment seems to be more facilitative of growth than the single-sex institutions. Evidence also points to the conclusion that co-correctional institutions are more humane and safer for both staff and inmates. Further, more extensive study with better controls is undoubtedly needed. Especially needed for comparison purposes and generalizability are minimum-security single-sex female institutions.
