Private Prisons in a New Environment
This chapter focuses on the current state of practice, policy, and research related to privately operated prisons in the United States. I begin with a brief overview of the history of the rapid growth in the private sector in the United States, followed by a discussion of costs of public versus private prisons. While costs are easily quantified, assigning the proper costs to the public and private sectors has presented much controversy in previou…
The effect of faith program participation on prison misconduct
The impact of work–family conflict on correctional staff
Work–family conflict (WFC) occurs when the work domain and family domain are incompatible with one another in some manner. A survey of staff at a private Midwestern prison measured four dimensions of WFC: time-based work on family conflict, strain-based work on family conflict, behavior-based WFC and family on work conflict. Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) regression results indicate that strain-based conflict was the only form of WFC to have a sign…
An Exploration Into Participation in a Faith‐based Prison Program
Research Summary: The current research investigates the faith, sociodemographic, psychological, and criminal history factors associated with the decision to volunteer for a faith‐based program. Operational records were combined with data collected from self‐administered surveys. The results of the logistic regression model were successful in identifying factors related to program participation, including factors not included in previous studies. …
The rewards and challenges of pursuing research in a correctional agency
Research produced within the setting of an operating agency runs the risk of being subverted by the operational priorities and political practicalities facing the agency. Researchers and managers at the Federal Bureau of Prisons (BOP) have successfully balanced the tension between the objectivity required of scientific research and the daily operations of their agency for over two decades. The discussion is framed by the challenges of conducting …

The influence of prisons on inmate misconduct
This article presents the results of multilevel analyses of prisoners' misconduct for the population of over 120,000 federal prisoners incarcerated in June 2001. Prior research has focused on individual-level explanations of inmate misconduct, but this study explicitly examines whether prisons vary in their influence on such misconduct. The study demonstrates that model specification makes a difference in our understanding of which variables are …
Growth and Quality of U.S. Private Prisons
Research Summary: Private prisons incarcerate 5.3% of the sentenced, adult population in the United States. The present study presents selected results from a 1999 survey of administrators who monitored private prisons in the United States (or U.S. territories). Among the findings of interest, the private sector experienced significant problems with staff turnover, escapes, and drug use. Where possible, private prison operations were compared wit…
Quality of prison operations in the US federal sector
An examination of the quality of operations at private and public prisons is essential to making informed decisions about the desirability of using private and public prisons. Previous studies have used survey data collected from staff and inmates to compare prisons based on the proportions or percentages of staff making favorable evaluations of different items. As argued here and elsewhere, the previous studies have been flawed by methodological…
