This book distills thirty years of research on the impacts of jail
and prison environments. The research program began with
evaluations of new jails that were created by the U.S. Bureau of
Prisons, which had a novel design intended to provide a
nontraditional and safe environment for pretrial inmates, and
documented the stunning success of these jails in reducing tension
and violence. This book uses assessments of this new model as a
basis for considering the nature of environment and behavior in
correctional settings, and more broadly in all human settings. It
provides a critical review of research on jail environments and of
specific issues critical to the way they are experienced and places
them in historical and theoretical context. It presents a
contextual model for the way environment influences the chance of
violence.
