No Hope for Parole

Disciplinary Infractions among Death-Sentenced and Life-Without-Parole Inmates

JON SORENSEN

ROBERT D. WRINKLE

University of Texas-Pan American

The disciplinary records of 93 death-sentenced and 323 life-without-parole inmates were compared to those of 232 life-with-parole inmates. Disciplinary infraction levels across the groups were similar, differences disappearing when other variables were included in a multivariate regression. Death-sentenced and life-without-parole inmates were not more likely than life-with-parole inmates to commit acts of violence (i.e., murders or assaults). It was concluded that restrictive policies that are based on the assumptions of a disproportionate amount of violent behavior by death-sentenced and life-without-parole inmates should be reevaluated.
