Analysis of Factors Associated with Guard-Prisoner Hostility at the U.S. Disciplinary Barracks

By Charles A. Hines

A major problem facing the Armed Forces today is the correctional and rehabilitative treatment of military offenders. With this in mind, all personnel charged with the task of rebuilding and resocializing prisoners must be capable of performing effectively in treatment-oriented facilities. For nearly one hundred years, the United States Disciplinary Barracks has been charged with the responsibility of rehabilitating long term military prisoners. Throughout the years, this task has been accomplished with distinction, often setting the pace for the nation. The success of treatment programs will depend to a large extent on the competence of guard personnel. Because guards have the most contact with the prisoner, their opportunity to positively or negatively affect rehabilitation must be recognized. The purpose of this study was to identify the guard least capable of performing effectively at the Disciplinary Barracks. The degree to which a guard expressed hostility toward prisoners or the operational environment, as measured by a questionnaire-survey was the primary determinant for ineffective performance potential.
