The present investigation reports upon various aspects of incarceration within a jail setting. In the first study, variables that were associated with the occurrence of institutional misconducts were documented by comparing a group of inmates committing misconducts with inmates having no history of misconducts. A number of personal and demographic differences were observed between the groups, but no relationship between crowding and the occurrence of a misconduct was found. The second study investigated the effect of incarceration and sentencing upon the inmates' anxiety level. Sixty-one inmates formed four groups varying on two independent variables: pretest and sentence. Significant effects due to incarceration and sentencing were absent.
