The relationship between maintenance of the criminal code and group denial in a substance abuse population: its effect on treatment

Article Abstract:

The so-called Criminal Code, self-maintained rules of conduct preventing prisoners from reporting drug use or other transgressions of fellow inmates, produces a form of group denial that inhibits successful substance abuse treatment. Prisoners sometimes use anonymous notes to report on other inmates. Relapses occur because treatment programs such as group therapy are hard-pressed to overcome the denial produced by the prisoner culture. Prisoners make treatment progress when they accept responsibility for their own individual lives and actions.
