TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined whether imprisonment may increase subsequent levels of offending, but it was not clear why this was the case, and drew on general strain theory (GST).

TL;DR: The authors proposed a general strain theory (GST) framework for explaining prison violence and other forms of misconduct, which enriches the deprivation model by revealing three distinctive categories of strain, and incorporates the coping model in its emphasis on how social support, social capital, and human capital can blunt the effects of potentially criminogenic strains.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined the psychological effect of victimization and perceptions of threat and coercion arising from the prison environment and found that coercion and social support are related to posttraumatic cognitions and trauma symptoms; however, social support does not provide a moderating effect.

TL;DR: Effects of the Georgia Cognitive Skills Program, a replication of Ross and Fabiano’s Reasoning and Rehabilitation, were examined for parolees randomly assigned to treatment and comparison groups and survival analysis found slightly lower recidivism rates for experimental participants than comparisons.
