Being placed in restrictive housing is considered one of the most devastating experiences a human can endure, yet a scant amount of research has been conducted to test how this experience affects core indicators of prisoner reentry such as employment and recidivism. In this article, we use Danish registry data, which allow for us to link penal conditions to postrelease outcomes, to show how the reentry outcomes of individuals placed in disciplinary segregation, which is placement in restrictive housing because of disciplinary infractions, compare with those sanctioned for in‐prison offenses but not placed in segregation. The results from matched difference‐in‐differences analyses show that Danish inmates placed in disciplinary segregation experience larger drops in employment and larger increases in the risk of being convicted of a new crime in the 3 years after release from a correctional facility than do Danish inmates who were sanctioned for a serious offense but not placed in disciplinary segregation as a result. Because being placed in disciplinary segregation, and restrictive housing more broadly, is so common, these results indicate that restrictive housing placement may be a key moderator of the effects of incarceration that merits more attention from criminologists, provided the associations shown here represent causal effects and generalize.

置于学科隔离中的长期后果†

被安置在限制性住房中被认为是人类可以承受的最破坏性的经历之一，但是进行了很少的研究来测试这种经历如何影响囚犯重返工作的核心指标，例如就业和再犯。在本文中，我们使用丹麦的注册表数据，该数据使我们可以将刑罚条件与释放后的结果联系起来，以显示因纪律违规而被置于限制性住房中的个人（与纪律处分者相比）的再入结果如何适用于监狱内犯罪，但不被隔离。匹配差异分析的结果表明，与丹麦囚犯相比，被关押在纪律隔离之下的丹麦囚犯在从教养所释放后的三年中，就业下降幅度更大，被判犯有新罪行的风险增加幅度更大。因严重罪行而受到制裁但没有因此而受到纪律隔离的人。由于被置于学科隔离和限制性住房更为普遍，这些结果表明，限制性住房的安置可能是监禁效果的关键调节器，值得犯罪学家更多地关注，前提是此处显示的关联代表因果关系和概括。
