Wormith, J. Stephen

Criminal Justice and Behavior, v7 n3 p341-56 Sep 1980

The results of this study support the use of trained volunteers in systematic controlled activities with prisoners. On the institutional measures, prisoners who participated in discussion groups with trained volunteers showed more positive change than did prisoners exposed to untrained volunteers. (Author/CS)
