Some 105,300 offenses against prison discipline were punished in 1995, 4 percent less than in 1994. The 207 offenses per 100 of the average inmate population amounted to a decline of 8 percent from 1994. The most common offenses were disobedience/disrespect and unauthorized transactions, which included possession or unauthorized use of illegal drugs. Violent offenses accounted for about 12 percent of offenses; this proportion was similar to that of the previous 5 years. Inmates charged or convicted of offenses of robbery or burglary committed a disproportionate number of disciplinary offenses. The most common punishments in male correctional institutions were additional days and stoppage or reduction of earnings; additional days and forfeiture or privileges were the most common punishments in female correctional facilities.
