This survey provides nationally representative data on inmates held in state prisons and federally-owned and operated prisons. Through personal interviews conducted from October 2003 through May 2004, inmates in both state and federal prisons provided information about their current offense and sentence, criminal history, family background and personal characteristics, prior drug and alcohol use and treatment programs, gun possession and use, and prison activities, programs, and services. Prior surveys of State prison inmates were conducted in 1974, 1979, 1986, 1991, and 1997. Sentenced federal prison inmates were interviewed in the 1991 and 1997 surveys.

"Exposure to early childhood trauma is associated with difficulties in self-regulation, aggression, and criminal behavior. In the United States, one in six male inmates report having experienced physical or sexual abuse before the age of 18. Less than half of juvenile justice institutions offer mental health services, and 57.5% of serious juvenile offenders meet criteria for at least one mental health problem. This research will use secondary analysis of the 2004 Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities to examine the relationship between abuse experiences and offending behavior, similarities between offenders and their victims, and access to mental health treatment before and after incarceration. This research will add to the existing body of literature on trauma and offending behavior and highlight the need for trauma-informed care, greater access to mental health treatment for high-risk populations, and early intervention programs for children with exposure to trauma"--Abstract.

The purpose of this study was to examine the differences between female and male prison inmates using the Survey of Inmates of State and Federal Correctional Facilities, 1997. Variables examined included current offense, criminal history, drug use history, victimization history, program participation in the institution, disciplinary infractions in the institution, family history and interaction with family while in prison. Results indicate that male inmates have worse criminal histories and longer sentences. Female inmates have, more extensive drug use histories, greater victimization histories, more program participation in the institution, and more criminality in their families of origin than do males. Moreover, males had more numerous disciplinary infractions in the institution and more serious infractions. Females had greater interaction with family while in prison than do males. Implications for future research and correctional practice are discussed.
