ANNOTATION: The impact of long-term administrative segregation (AS) on mentally ill offenders is examined. In particular, this study looked at which psychological domains are affected by long-term AS, the differential impact of AS on the mentally ill, and a comparison of psychological and behavioral symptoms of offenders in AS versus those in a general prison setting and a psychiatric care prison. Mentally ill offenders “did not deteriorate over time in AS at a rate more rapid and more extreme than for those without mental illness” (p. ii).
