Drawing on our own work studying solitary confinement in California and Washington over more than a decade, as well as a growing body of solitary confinement research across multiple U.S. and international jurisdictions, we argue for the importance of understanding institution-level contexts, integrating qualitative observational and interview data with quantitative administrative data, and re-thinking assumptions about how solitary confinement is defined, deployed, and experienced. Better understanding what solitary confinement is, how it is used, and how it is experienced by those living and working in these spaces will generate new theoretical insights about how we study and understand punishment more broadly, as well as new policy insights with the potential to de-legitimize a perpetually harmful practice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Criminal Justice","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 102470"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144580818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using focal concerns and cumulative disadvantage perspectives, we explore whether compositional effects or facility-level differences in earlier discipline processing can explain facility-level differences in the use of DS. This study utilized a retrospective non-experimental, cross-sectional design to examine who receives discipline, for what, and for how long in Minnesota prisons. We use a sample of approximately 2600 incarcerated people's first formal discipline case. Findings tell us that, within Minnesota prisons, the differences in disciplinary outcomes are not solely the result of compositional differences in the people who are incarcerated or the types of cases that are seen.

Most efforts to reduce prison crowding have focused primarily on reducing admissions and expanding early release, often overlooking a critical subgroup: short-timers—individuals who enter prison with less than one year to serve. This study uses administrative data from the Nebraska Department of Correctional Services (NDCS) to examine whether short-timers are systematically excluded from rehabilitative programming—a practice known as warehousing—and how this exclusion influences behavioral outcomes that exacerbate inefficiencies in system processing, ultimately worsening crowding. Results show that short-timers are significantly more likely to be warehoused, even when they are willing to participate in treatment. They also experience higher rates of program withdrawal. Importantly, the combination of short-timer status and warehousing is linked to increased non-serious misconduct, indicating that lack of engagement elevates behavioral risk. These findings highlight the compounded effects of short stays and institutional practices, emphasizing the need for targeted reforms that expand access to programming, reduce misconduct, and support sustainable decarceration efforts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Criminal Justice","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 102480"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144696650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

One pattern is oriented towards conformity, and the other towards conversation. As hypothesized, in a sample of nearly 300 men and women categorized as at risk for recidivism, conversational communication was related to low feelings of threat to freedoms (i.e., reactance) and limited intended actions to restore freedoms (i.e., restoration), both of which predicted self-reported behavior to avoid associating with people who break the law and to avoid substance misuse. Conformity communication predicted increased reactance, which predicted increased freedom restoration and lower levels of behavior to avoid people who break the law as well as lower levels of avoiding substance misuse. Gender of clients did not moderate the significant effects, but for both women and men, conversational communication had the strongest positive effects for emerging adults. Overall, community supervision agents' use of conversational communication appeared to benefit clients regardless of life stage and gender.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":48272,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Criminal Justice","volume":"99 ","pages":"Article 102481"},"PeriodicalIF":3.3,"publicationDate":"2025-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144711747","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We critically assess the empirical foundations of these claims, highlighting methodological limitations and inconsistent evidence. We then draw on historical and international data focused on non-Western countries, which demonstrate considerable variation in the age-crime relationship across social contexts. Our findings challenge invariance and biologically determined bases of explanation. Evidence of substantial variation across countries and time periods underscores the importance of sociocultural context in shaping age-crime patterns. We theorize how macro-level sociocultural factors – age-graded expectations, social roles and lifestyle, social control and integration, opportunity structures, and life-stage stressors – operate across the life-course to shape cross-national variation in age-crime patterns.
