TY - JOUR PY - 2014// TI - Prison architecture and inmate misconduct: a multilevel assessment JO - Crime and delinquency A1 - Morris, Robert G. A1 - Worrall, John L. SP - 1083 EP - 1109 VL - 60 IS - 7 N2 - Researchers have not yet devoted sufficient attention to the effect of prison architecture on inmate misconduct. Using data from the population of male prisoners in Texas, the authors explored the association between two prison architectural design types (as determined by satellite imagery) and inmate misconduct. The results from multilevel statistical analyses suggest that architectural design is associated with nonviolent misconduct but not violent misconduct. Policy implications and directions for future research are discussed.
