The use of segregation continues to be at the forefront of debates on the most effective way to address violence in prisons. Concern over the negative impact of these placements has prompted correctional administrators to employ alternative strategies to reduce their segregated populations and address serious misconduct. Few studies, however, have explored the impact that these strategies have on future behavioral outcomes. To address this gap, the current study explores the effectiveness of a disciplinary segregation program reserved for those who engage in violent misconduct during their incarceration. This study employs a quasi-experimental research design to estimate the treatment effects of placement in a disciplinary segregation program on subsequent levels of institutional misconduct during a one-year follow-up. Results from this study reveal that placement in the disciplinary segregation program had no effect on subsequent levels of serious in-prison misconduct amongst participants when compared to their matched counterparts. Our findings suggest that scholars and practitioners should work to build a response to in-prison violence that starts with what is known about the causes of violence and what effectively modifies attitudes and behaviors. Future research should include rigorous measures of both program process and implementation to better identify effective forms of intervention.

隔离的使用仍然是关于解决监狱暴力的最有效方法的辩论的前沿。对这些安置的负面影响的担忧促使惩教管理人员采用替代策略来减少隔离人口并解决严重的不当行为。然而，很少有研究探讨这些策略对未来行为结果的影响。为了弥补这一差距，当前的研究探讨了为那些在监禁期间从事暴力不当行为的人保留的纪律隔离计划的有效性。本研究采用准实验研究设计，以估计在一年的随访期间，在纪律隔离计划中安置对后续机构不当行为水平的治疗效果。这项研究的结果表明，与匹配的同行相比，纪律隔离计划中的安置对参与者随后严重的监狱内不当行为水平没有影响。我们的研究结果表明，学者和从业者应该努力建立对监狱内暴力的回应，从已知的暴力原因开始，以及如何有效地改变态度和行为。未来的研究应包括对计划过程和实施的严格措施，以更好地确定有效的干预形式。我们的研究结果表明，学者和从业者应该努力建立对监狱内暴力的回应，从已知的暴力原因开始，以及如何有效地改变态度和行为。未来的研究应包括对计划过程和实施的严格措施，以更好地确定有效的干预形式。我们的研究结果表明，学者和从业者应该努力建立对监狱内暴力的回应，从已知的暴力原因开始，以及如何有效地改变态度和行为。未来的研究应包括对计划过程和实施的严格措施，以更好地确定有效的干预形式。
