Abstract Restorative justice (RJ) is oriented to respond to crime in ways that would repair individual, relational, and social harm. This study examined the relationship between type of offense and public attitudes toward RJ, in addition to the psychological mechanisms undergirding this relationship. We examined a model of three offense types (sexual, violent, and property) and their differential effect on support for RJ. Moreover, we examined whether this relationship was mediated by incremental beliefs, i.e., that human character is malleable. We also explored two control variables previously found predictive of attitudes toward punishment: perceived seriousness of the offense and fear of crime. Participants (N = 608) read a definition of one offense and completed a survey regarding incremental beliefs, fear of crime, perceived seriousness of the offense, and support for RJ. The findings indicated main effects of offense type on attitudes toward RJ. Additionally, differences between offense types were found in incremental beliefs and attitudes toward RJ, such that for both variables, sexual offenses were rated the lowest followed by violent and property offenses. An indirect effect of offense type on attitudes toward RJ through incremental beliefs was also found, but not through fear of crime or perceived seriousness.

Abstract Inmate misconduct threatens two critically important functions of prison life: offender rehabilitation and facility safety. While many offender change programs focus on empathy development as a tool for reducing inmate misconduct, few studies elucidate how an inmate’s communication competence plays a role in the empathy-misconduct relationship. Drawing upon the Risk-Needs-Responsivity (RNR) framework, we conduct a multi-site investigation of prisons in a US state to assess the association between inmates’ self-assessed levels of interpersonal communication competence (ICC) and the incidence of inmate misconduct, net of controls and demographics. Results reveal higher levels of interpersonal communication competence are related to fewer major behavioral infractions but have no observed relationship with minor infractions while incarcerated. Empathy measures had no effect on either type of infraction. Theory and policy implications of our findings for correctional practice are discussed.

Abstract Narcotic offenders with substance use disorder (SUD) have become a severe burden around the world including Sri Lanka. Prisons and other rehabilitation centers are threatened by overcrowding, due to recidivism, rearrest, and re-incarceration of narcotic offenders with SUD and limited capacities available in these centers. The therapeutic community (TC), owing to its comprehensive approach, long history of use, proven efficacy, and more importantly its relatability to Asian culture, has made it more appropriate for narcotic offenders with SUD sentenced to imprisonment, to subdue SUD while serving their prison sentence. TC is a rehabilitation intervention found by Tom Main in 1946 and a proper understanding of its core concept and elements is important when implementing a TC program. However, challenges are inevitable that need to be overcome when implementing a prison TC program. This paper intended to provide an insight to consider TC as a rehabilitation intervention for the imprisoned narcotic drug offenders with SUD. A special reference is provided to Sri Lanka, given its current requirement for an appropriate rehabilitation model for the prison community suffering from SUD.

Abstract Extending the ‘what works’ tradition in correctional research, realist evaluation approaches champion the need to understand the nuances of program implementation and effectiveness, asking “what works, for whom, in what circumstances, in what respects, and how?”. This highlights the importance of understanding how programs work in ‘real world’ settings, and not simply whether or not they produce a positive outcome overall. Informed by this approach, the current study employed focus groups and interviews with corrective services programs staff in Australia, to explore factors that impact program success and key program implementation considerations. Findings reveal system-, program-, and individual- level factors that appear to impact program success, largely by constraining program delivery. Identified implementation considerations included program design and delivery, and staffing and resources. By examining the nuances of program delivery, this study provides a better understanding of the ‘real-world’ operation of custodial sex offender treatment programs, and adds important context to reported outcome studies.

Abstract This paper reports on the implementation of evidence-based MISSION-CJ case management across multiple drug courts in Erie and Niagara County, NY. Participant outcomes, including substance use, housing, employment, mental health symptoms, and criminal justice involvement were assessed at intake and 6-months for 209 individuals. Overall, significant improvements were observed for nights in jail, committing any crimes, past 30-day alcohol and drug use, anxiety symptoms, housing, and employment. Results suggest that MISSION-CJ can successfully be implemented across multiple court settings, and may be a valuable add-on to drug court programs to address unmet mental health needs of participants.

Abstract Contact between incarcerated parents and their children can help maintain family relationships. However, links between parent–child contact and child behavior problems are understudied in young children, especially the contexts in which visits and other forms of contact occur. Data were collected from 157 parents incarcerated in one of two jails regarding contact with their young children (age 2–6), as well as children’s behavior problems. Findings indicated that jail site moderated the association between visit frequency and child behavior problems. At the jail that offered both on-site video and Plexiglas visits, with no security procedures for the on-site video visits, more frequent parent–child visits were associated with fewer child externalizing problems; however, in the jail that offered primarily Plexiglas visits, more frequent visits were associated with more child externalizing problems. Additionally, more phone calls related to more child externalizing behavior problems. This research has implications for policies and practices regarding contact between incarcerated parents and their young children.

Abstract Inside-Out courses bring together traditional campus-based students and incarcerated students to learn alongside one another in a correctional setting. This novel approach to the delivery of educational programming has recognized benefits for both inside and outside students. This past year, the COVID pandemic prevented non-essential staff, such as college instructors, from physically entering correctional institutions. While most colleges and universities continued to provide educational services to its campus-based students virtually, they were prohibited from doing the same with their incarcerated students. The majority of correctional institutions have been resistant to using this technology because of security concerns, even though with proper planning, such programming can be provided successfully and safely. Although most Inside-Out programs were canceled during the Coronavirus pandemic, this article profiles one program that was able to continue virtually through the use of internet-based services at the Westchester County Department of Correction. Data from this feasibility study suggest that a virtual pedagogical approach has the ability to create positive learning experiences for inside and outside students. Results imply that increased programmatic opportunities could be available to more correctional institutions, even post-COVID, if correctional staff are open to the implementation of internet-based technology and willing to work collaboratively with outside program providers.

Abstract The purpose of this pilot program evaluation is to examine the effectiveness of a developmentally-informed treatment model for adolescent sex offenders. To accomplish this, 62 adolescents receiving treatment as usual were compared to 68 adolescents receiving a specialized developmentally-informed treatment (i.e., Forward-Focused Model). A total of 130 adolescents who offended sexually and who were confined in secure residential treatment were included in the analysis. The specialized treatment emphasized the promotion of prosocial development and included cognitive behavioral interventions specifically adapted to meet the developmental needs of adolescents. Clinical interventions were delivered individually and in group therapy with an emphasis on identification and treatment of complex needs (i.e., trauma-related symptoms, substance misuse, serious mental health disorders). Recidivism was evaluated at three years following release from long-term residential treatment (i.e., incarceration). Treatment as usual participants recidivated at almost double the rate of those participating in the Forward-Focused Model while the sexual recidivism rate for adolescents in the Forward-Focused Model was 2.9%.

Abstract Mindfulness-based interventions have been increasingly recognized as a way to promote the mental health and well-being of individuals experiencing incarceration. However, little is known about the ways in which experienced mindfulness teachers who volunteer in correctional settings facilitate programming. Using a constructivist grounded theory approach, this study explored the teaching practices of volunteers who currently facilitate mindfulness programs in correctional settings. A total of fifteen volunteer meditation teachers along with three former group members were interviewed. The researcher utilized interview data to construct a grounded theory which conceptualizes the systemic barriers volunteers and participants face, empowering facilitation strategies, and facilitator and group characters which impact the learning outcomes of participants. The results of this grounded theory illustrate culturally responsive mindfulness facilitation strategies counselors can use with individuals who are incarcerated. Suggestions for future research and implications are presented.

Abstract Families of incarcerated individuals face a multitude of social, financial and emotional costs. Family members, particularly women, have to go through an emotional upheaval as they experience stigma, its severe consequences with respect to the particular sociocultural context and, the shame and pain of dealing with the incarceration of a loved one. It disrupts family ties and leads to uncertainty creating a void in place of the incarcerated individual augmenting the risks, vulnerability and fragility of the family. This paper aims to assess the issues faced by the women of these families in the context of political turmoil and violence, highlights the socio-economic aspects of incarceration, institutional constraints on visitation and discusses the changes in family dynamics as a result of it. The paper also brings forth the protective role played by religion and faith in the lives of these women. The paper is based on interviews conducted with the women of families with incarcerated individuals. The paper emphasizes the ripple effect of incarceration on all the domains of lives of their families.
