The impact of inmate characteristics on perceptions of race relations in prison

Article Abstract:

Seven hundred seventy five former Texas prisoners were interviewed shortly after their release about race relations in Texas prisons. Perceptions of race relations depend on the age and race of the prisoner involved. Young inmates are more likely to become involved in conflicts. Hispanic perceptions of race relations are more closely related to white perceptions than black perceptions. Level of education of prisoners was not a significant factor in race perceptions.
