Reactions of male and female inmates to prison confinement; further evidence for a two-component model

Article Abstract:

Inmate volunteers at a US federal prison were studied at the beginning of their imprisonment and after four months to determine social and physiological reactions to imprisonment. Inmate moods did not change, but blood pressure decreased. Opinions of the prison grew more negative as time in prison increased, but stress levels decreased due to increased familiarity with prison routine. Reduced stress levels may also come about because of lessened concern with what is happening outside prison.
