With explosive growth in prison populations, deteriorating conditions "inside," and a large number of mentally disordered felons, correctional mental health programs are inundated with demands for services. Based on the author's first-hand survey of state prisons, inmate responses to the harsh conditions are described and a link is suggested between childhood traumas of inmates and the traumas they experience in prison. Implications for correctional mental health services, as well as correctional policy in general, are offered.
随着监狱人口的爆炸式增长、“狱内”条件的恶化以及大量患有精神疾病的重罪犯，惩教心理健康项目面临着大量的服务需求。基于作者对州立监狱的第一手调查，描述了囚犯对恶劣条件的反应，并指出了囚犯童年创伤与他们在监狱中所经历创伤之间的联系。同时还提出了对惩教心理健康服务以及总体惩教政策的启示。
