N2  - This analysis focuses on misconduct rates and inmates’ perceptions of safety at 10 low-security prisons. Performance measures derived from two different data sources, inmate survey data and agency records of inmate misconduct, are compared. The findings demonstrate that the rankings of the prisons with performance measures derived from inmates’ perception of safety correlate with measures obtained from official misconduct rates. These findings provide evidence regarding the validity and reliability of inmate survey and official misconduct data when assessing conditions of confinement.<p />
