The current study builds on prior work examining the association between futurelessness and commitment institutional rules among correctional populations. Using cross-sectional data from a sample of 413 people incarcerated in United States jails from 2018 to 2019, this study employs Ordinary Least Squares regression to examine the association between futurelessness and commitment to institutional rules controlling for various importation and deprivation factors previously linked with institutional misconduct. Results provide support for the importance of futurelessness for commitment to institutional rules, suggesting that this finding is consistent across correctional environments. In addition, findings suggest that an index measure of futurelessness is a stronger construct for testing futurelessness than single-item measures used in prior studies. Consistent with prior literature on futurelessness, our findings suggest that among people incarcerated in jail futurelessness is linked to a weaker commitment to institutional rules.

目前的研究建立在之前的研究基础上，研究了惩教人群中未来感与承诺制度规则之间的关系。本研究使用 2018 年至 2019 年在美国监狱中被监禁的 413 名人员的横截面数据，采用普通最小二乘回归来检验未来感与对制度规则的承诺之间的关系，这些规则控制了先前与制度相关的各种输入和剥夺因素。不当行为。结果支持了对制度规则的承诺的无未来的重要性，表明这一发现在整个惩教环境中是一致的。此外，研究结果表明，与先前研究中使用的单项指标相比，对未来前景的指数衡量是测试未来前景的更强有力的结构。与之前关于未来无望的文献一致，我们的研究结果表明，在监狱中被监禁的人中，没有未来的人与对制度规则的承诺较弱有关。
