Rehabilitation and social behavior: Experiments in prison
Open accessAbstract
Despite the economic and social significance of crime reduction and criminals' rehabilitation, research evaluating the effects of incarceration on behavior is surprisingly scarce. We conduct an experiment with 105 prison inmates and complement it with administrative data in order to explore several aspects of their social behavior. We first perform a comprehensive analysis of behavior in three economic games, finding evidence of discrimination against a sample from outside prison. In addition, our regression analysis reveals that inmates generally become less pro-social towards this out-group the longer they remain incarcerated. Finally, we introduce and evaluate a priming intervention that asks inmates to reflect on their time spent in prison. This intervention has a very sizeable and significant impact, increasing pro-sociality towards the out-group. Hence, a simple, low-cost intervention of this sort can have desirable effects in promoting rehabilitation and integration into social and economic life after release.

Balafoutas et al. (2020) show that a simple intervention asking inmates to reflect on incarceration increased social aptitudes.
“Balafoutas et al. (2020) randomly asked inmates to reflect on their incarceration and show that this simple intervention increased the inmates' social aptitudes.”
From Prison Rehabilitation Programs: Efficiency and Targeting (2021) · cites this paper as Balafoutas et al. (2020)
Section 3.3 (Priming) says inmates were randomly assigned to write either about their time in prison and its effect on their social behavior or about a neutral topic. Section 4.3 (Effects of the priming intervention) reports increased trust, reciprocity, and cooperation toward people outside prison, but not toward other inmates. The paper measures choices in economic games, not a general increase in inmates’ social aptitudes. (LLM, conf=0.86)

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
