Revisiting the Walpole Prison Solitary Confinement Study (WPSCS)
In the last decade, scholars have expressed growing concerns about the credibility of some studies in the biomedical and social sciences domains that are broadly regarded as classics, that is, studies that are widely cited as the definitive answer on a topic and are in the public interest. In the current investigation, we directed our attention toward one such classic—the Walpole Prison Solitary Confinement Study (WPSCS)—which reported that inmat…
The Effects of Administrative Segregation
This essay considers debate over the extent to which some inmates should be isolated from others within prison, the impact of isolation on psychological well-being during confinement, and the implications for supermax prisons with 23-hour lockdown. The need for administrative segregation and solitary confinement is assessed in the context of improving the safety of individual inmates as well as preventing collective violence. These ideas are cont…
Quantitative syntheses of the effects of administrative segregation on inmates’ well-being
There is a widely held belief that the use of administrative segregation (AS) produces debilitating psychological effects; however, there are also those who assert that AS is an effective strategy for reducing prison antisocial behavior and prison violence. Given these conflicting opinions it is not surprising that the use of segregation in corrections has become a hotly debated and litigated issue. To clarify the competing perspectives, two inde…
The Prediction of Violence in Adult Offenders
Using 88 studies from 1980 to 2006, a meta-analysis compares risk instruments and other psychological measures on their ability to predict general (primarily nonsexual) violence in adults. Little variation was found amongst the mean effect sizes of common actuarial or structured risk instruments (i.e., Historical, Clinical, and Risk Management Violence Risk Assessment Scheme; Level of Supervision Inventory—Revised; Violence Risk Assessment Guide;…
Reducing Prison Misconducts
A meta-analysis was conducted to assess the effectiveness of correctional treatment for reducing institutional misconducts. Sixty-eight studies generated 104 effect sizes involving 21,467 offenders. Behavioral treatment programs produced the strongest effects ( r = .26, CI = .18to .34). The numbers of criminogenic needs targeted and program therapeutic integrity were found to be important moderators of effect size. Prison programs producing the g…
From Nothing Works to What Works
The authors explore changes over time in criminologists' “professional ideology”—a core set of underlying beliefs that focuses academic thinking along certain lines but not others. Until the late 1960s, criminologists believed that the scientific study of the causes of crime would form the basis of individualized treatments that would reduce offender recidivism. By the mid-1970s, this view had collapsed and had been replaced by a professional ide…
Predicting Prison Misconducts
A meta-analysis was conducted on 39 studies that generated 695 correlations with prison misconducts. Predictors of prison misconducts were grouped into 16 domains as follows: (a) personal characteristics ( n = 9), (b) situational factors ( n = 3), and (c) actuarial measures of antisocial personality and risk ( n = 4). Personal and situational variables were similar in their ability to predict prison misconduct. Within these two categories, antiso…
A Meta-Analysis of the Predictors of Adult Offender Recidivism
Meta-analytic techniques were used to determine which predictor domains and actuarial assessment instruments were the best predictors of adult offender recidivism. One hundred and thirty-one studies produced 1,141 correlations with recidivism. The strongest predictor domains were criminogenic needs, criminal history/history of antisocial behavior, social achievement, age/gender/race, and family factors. Less robust predictors included intellectua…
Does Correctional Treatment Work? A Clinically Relevant and Psychologically Informed Meta‐analysis
Careful reading of the literature on the psychology of criminal conduct and of prior reviews of studies of treatment effects suggests that neither criminal sanctioning without provision of rehabilitative service nor servicing without reference to clinical principles of rehabilitation will succeed in reducing recidivism. What works, in our view, is the delivery of appropriate correctional service, and appropriate service reflects three psychologic…

Some Norms and Validities of the Quick Test for Delinquent Samples
Forms 1, 2, and 3 of Ammons and Ammons Quick Test (QT) were given to three delinquent samples ( ns = 43, 65, 49). The Quick Test was correlated with the WAIS, Differential Aptitude Test, Revised Beta and Otis Em. The role of the QT in correctional diagnostics was discussed

Assessing the Intelligence of Aged Persons
Ammons and Ammons Quick Test (QT) was found to be applicable for intelligence testing with the aged. Normative data were presented for a sample who averaged 80.7 yr. Correlations among the three single forms and between the forms and the complete test were high (.80 to .93 for corrected IQs, .82 to .96 for uncorrected IQs). Performance on the test was not affected by socioeconomic status, institutionalization factors or anxiety level. The test's …
