TLDR
In this article, the authors used self-reported data of 494 inmates in the final phase of their sentence to analyze the variables related to the probability of receiving a sanction during incarceration in order to propose prevention measures and new hypotheses for future research.Abstract:
The study of prison misconduct and the use of sanctions is relevant to improve the safety and quality of life of those imprisoned people. Comparative literature departs from three theoretical perspectives on this regard: those that explain misbehavior as a consequence of the experience of incarceration, those that do it based on the characteristics of the imprisoned individuals, and those centered on the relationship between those who are serving a sentence and professionals, and with the penitentiary institution. However, in the Spanish context there is a lack of studies on this subject. This study uses self-reported data of 494 inmates in the final phase of their sentence to analyze the variables related to the probability of receiving a sanction during incarceration in order to propose prevention measures and new hypotheses for future research.read more

A General Strain Theory of Prison Violence and Misconduct: An Integrated Model of Inmate Behavior
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.
