The number of older inmates in New South Wales prisons has increased over the past ten years but it is unclear whether corrective services can cater for the increase. The current study reports the results of a qualitative study about ageing in prison. Eight prison chaplains from four corrective facilities in NSW were interviewed using a semi-structured interview schedule. The results of a thematic analysis revealed four main themes: , , and . The themes reveal a system that is not designed to cope with an ageing population. Inmates become resentful of what has happened to them rather than for the damage they have done to somebody else. The system lacks processes and programmes to enable proper rehabilitation. The issues raised by the chaplains in terms of services, the environment and the inmates decrease the possibility that an older inmate will adapt to the environment and successfully age in place.
在过去十年中，新南威尔士州监狱中老年囚犯的数量有所增加，但惩教服务部门是否能够应对这一增长尚不清楚。当前的研究报告了一项关于监狱中老龄化问题的定性研究结果。使用半结构化访谈提纲对新南威尔士州四个惩教设施的八名监狱牧师进行了访谈。主题分析的结果揭示了四个主要主题： 、 、 和 。这些主题揭示了一个并非为应对老龄化人口而设计的系统。囚犯对自己遭遇的事情感到怨恨，而非对自己给他人造成的伤害感到悔恨。该系统缺乏能够实现适当改造的流程和方案。牧师们在服务、环境和囚犯方面提出的问题降低了老年囚犯适应环境并在狱中成功安度晚年的可能性。
