Does house arrest impede the working alliance between probation officers and their clients? A comparison of home detention and probation cases
For serious offences, or for offenders with significant prior criminal histories, home detention offers an alternative to incarceration. House arrest nvolves a restrictive curfew that many offenders perceive as punitive, but probation officers must still establish rapport and secure compliance. One tool for assessing the therapeutic relationship, or working alliance, is the Working Alliance Inventory (WAI). This study compares WAI scores between …
Can housing safeguard the homeless? A longitudinal analysis of violent victimisation, housing, and mental health status of the homeless
Utilising a routine activity and lifestyle theory framework, this study examines victimisation over time of a localised homeless population with mental health conditions that was part of a 24 month Housing First (HF) At Home-Chez Soi project in the Canadian Prairie City. Negative binomial regression equations to account for severe skews in the victimisation data were estimated at baseline, 12 months and 24 months. In most cases, net of demographi…
Prison Misconduct and the Use of Alternative Resolutions by Correctional Officers in Therapeutic Communities and Other Custody Units
This mixed methods study uses official records and interviews with inmates and staff to compare misconduct in therapeutic communities (TC’s) and the use of alternative resolutions (in lieu of formal charges by correctional officers) to other prison units. Prisoner misconduct has been studied using individual self-reports or aggregate prison rates, but unit level differences between TC’s and other prison wings are often overlooked. Restorative jus…
Did Covid-19 Affect News Media Representations of Prisons, Inmates, and Correctional Officers? A Look Prior and Postpandemic
This study examines news media representations of Canadian prisons pre and post-coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Of interest was how media framed coverage of punishment and prisons with respect to discrete, event-driven traditional myths (prisons are dangerous, inmates are violent, correctional officers are cruel) versus more systemic, reform-oriented stories (more rehabilitation needed, racialized peoples over-represented, prison conditions …
Canadian Prison Environments: A Mixed Methods Analysis
The current study uses a mixed methods approach to assess quality of prison life in Canada's Atlantic provincial correctional institutions. Questions from the Measurement of the Quality of Prison Life were adapted to create scales to assess prisoner climate dimension perceptions, with open-ended questions providing qualitative data. Across eight prison sites, statistical analysis revealed between prison differences and confirmed that prison sente…
Behind the Walls: Inmates and Correctional Officers on the State of Canadian Prisons
In this system, you can’t trust anybody. Like, even on the streets, I’ve never trusted my own brother. But now, in Ni-Miikana, I’m starting to get that trust back. You just gotta be careful what you say in here, and you’ll be all right. Despite falling crime rates, more rights for inmates, and better training for correctional officers, Canada’s prison population is on the rise, and outbreaks of violence continue to grab headlines. Applying Erving…
