Abstract
Using self-report data from American state prisoners (N = 14,499; 79.8% male) and negative binomial regression, this study found prisoners with preadmission dual serious mental and substance use disorders reported greater diversities and numbers of disciplinary infractions in general compared to inmates without dual disorders. Findings were mixed for diversity and number of assaultive infractions. Variety and numbers of charges for infractions in general and assault were strongly associated with previous and current incarceration experiences with assault victimization. The article concludes with suggestions for corrections policies such as screening for dual disorders, PTSD, and assault victimization, and future research.
