TY - JOUR PY - 1999// TI - Inmate experiences and psychological well-being JO - Criminal justice and behavior A1 - Wooldredge, John D. SP - 235 EP - 250 VL - 26 IS - 2 N2 - This study examined how inmate psychological well-being is influenced by participation in institutional programs, frequency of visitation with outsiders, and experiences with victimization during incarceration. Participants were 581 adult inmates from three Ohio correctional facilities. Support was found for the hypotheses that healthier attitudes correspond with greater program participation, more frequent visitation, and no experience with victimization. The policy implications of these findings are presented.
