Abstract: The behavior of 621 inmates housed in both solid (closed) fronted cells and open (bar) fronted cells were compared during a six month period in 1984. Inmate behavior was measured by involvement in prison disciplinary proceedings. The data for the study was collected from prison records. Behavior was measured in terms of overall, major, mid-range and minor rule violations. The analysis included factors such as: age, education, race, religion, prior criminal history, drug use history and type of crime. The study also reviewed the effect on behavior of participation in selected prison programs.
