Results indicate that, in general, residents perceived the staff-resident relationships to be involved and positive, and felt that much effort was placed by the facility on vocational training and preparation for eventual release and community adjustment. Residents also felt they had input into correctional planning and programming efforts. Scores on (1) personal problem orientation and (2) system maintenance were within the normative range, but indicated that residents felt less positive about their autonomy and about staff use of controls. Both adjusters and maladjusters showed overall positive perceptions of the social climate, although maladjusters showed a nonsignificantly more negative attitude toward system maintenance variables (order, staff control, clarity, and organization). 16 references.
