Therapists working in a prison were subjected to what amounted to variable-interval punishment from the prison administrator. This technique allowed the administrator to show control and keep the therapists afraid of him. The experience is discussed in reference to the more positive 1992 findings of Myers, Boughner, and Wallbrown regarding prison administrators and staff; reasons for the differences are proposed
