Abstract
ABSTRACT Boot camp prisons have been seriously criticized because of their failure to significantly reduce recidivism. Although they have not been successful in reducing recidivism, research shows that they can be successful in promoting prosocial attitudes and positive institutional adjustment. Still, there is evidence that they fail to promote long term change in criminal behavior. The author argues that shock incarceration programs have the potential to be successful if they move beyond their focus of coerced conformity to the inclusion of more complex, cognitive-based treatment programs.
