Effects of Determinant Sentencing on Institutional Climate and Prison Administration: Connecticut, Minnesota, Illinois, 1981-1983
This data collection examines the effects of determinant
sentencing on prison climate and administration. Three data collection
periods are covered in the dataset. Parts 1-3 contain data taken from
a total random sample of offenders housed at five prisons over all
three data collection periods. Part 4 is an additional sample from the
state of Connecticut of inmates serving determinate sentences,
collected during the third period of data collection. Parts 5 and 6
comprise indeterminate sample data from all three data collection
periods, while Parts 7-9 contain determinate panel sample data from
all three collection periods. There were six questionnaires used in
collecting these data, covering inmates' feelings about their arrest,
court case, and conviction, their feelings about the law, physical
problems developed during their prison term, how their time was spent
in prison, family contacts outside prison, relationships with other
prisoners and guards, involvement in prison programs, and criminal
history.
