Abstract

Background: To investigate how the independent variables: veteran status, brain injury, drug use, and alcohol use predict risk for rule violations and assaulting jail or prison staff while incarcerated. This study used aggregated and disaggregated data to demonstrate relationships between exposure and outcomes. Methods: Cross-sectional survey data was collected from the Survey of Inmates in State and Federal Correctional Facilities (SISFCF), 2004 (n = 14499). Chi-square, Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH), and logistic regression were conducted to determine the relative contribution of the independent variables in predicting rule violations and assaulting jail or prison staff while incarcerated. The research study tested a number of hypotheses that are listed in the hypotheses section of the research study. Results: The findings from the logistic regression conducted in this study demonstrate a significant relationship between veteran status, alcohol use, and brain injury status and the dependent variable: found guilty or written up for jail or prison rule violations while incarcerated. Conclusion: Alcohol use and brain injury present serious risks for maintaining public health and safety of incarcerated veterans and non-veterans. Daily or almost daily consumption of alcohol was the strongest predictor of jail or prison rule violations. Therefore, researchers and practitioners should continue to develop interventions and policies for reducing alcohol consumption of individuals in contact with the criminal justice system.
调查有脑损伤史、酗酒史和吸毒史的在押退伍军人违反监狱规定的情况
背景:调查自变量:退伍军人身份、脑损伤、药物使用和酒精使用如何预测在监禁期间违反规则和袭击监狱或监狱工作人员的风险。本研究使用汇总和分类数据来证明暴露与结果之间的关系。方法:横断面调查数据收集自2004年美国州和联邦惩教机构在押人员调查(SISFCF) (n = 14499)。采用卡方、Cochran-Mantel-Haenszel (CMH)和逻辑回归来确定自变量在预测违反规则和袭击监狱或监狱工作人员时的相对贡献。这项研究测试了一些假设,这些假设列在研究的假设部分。结果:在本研究中进行的逻辑回归研究结果表明,退伍军人身份、酒精使用和脑损伤状况与因变量之间存在显著关系:在监禁期间被判有罪或因违反监狱规则而被记录在案。结论:酒精使用和脑损伤对在押退伍军人和非退伍军人的公共健康和安全构成严重威胁。每天或几乎每天饮酒是监狱或监狱违规行为的最强预测指标。因此,研究人员和从业人员应继续制定干预措施和政策,以减少与刑事司法系统接触的个人的酒精消费。
