Prisons are mostly filled with social deviants and like other correctional institutions, deserve organized information (provision) centers such as library. A study on library resource needs and accessibility by prison inmates was conducted at Kuje prison, Abuja and Kaduna prison, Kaduna, Nigeria, both of which have functional libraries. A sample of 898 inmates was randomly selected from all the convicted inmates in the two prisons. A total of 106 inmates were selected from Kuje prison and 792 from Kaduna prison. A well-structured questionnaire was used to collect data from the inmates. All the 898 inmates responded. A total of 786 (87.9%) males and 112 (12.4%) females were involved in the study. With regards to the educational level attained by the inmates, 347 (38.6%) had Junior Secondary School Certificate while 323 (30.0%) had Senior School Certificate both accounting for 74.6% of the sampled population. In areas of information needs, 94.5%, 96.1%, 98.7%, 99.4%, 100%, and 100% of the respondents indicated that information on current affairs, survival and coping, educational support, legal aid, skill acquisition, and health, respectively were highly needed by the inmates. Out of the 12 information resources listed, only newspaper, novel, handbook and manual, and bulletin were readily accessible with percentage accessibility of 60.7, 7.8, 6.8, and 1.9, respectively. One major reason adduced by the respondents for limited access to information resources was the very strict rules and regulations in the prison. Providing more library resources and granting the inmates more access to the library would assist in character reformation and rehabilitation of the inmates.

Objectives: This study investigated quality of life in Korean juvenile inmates with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and the impact of behavioral and emotional problems on quality of life. Methods: In total, 200 inmates were evaluated using the Korean version of the Mini-International Neuropsychiatric Interview (K-MINI) and the Korean version of the Kiddie-Schedule for Affective Disorders and Schizophrenia-Present and Lifetime (K-SADS-PL-K). We extracted the inmates with ADHD and evaluated their quality of life, behavioral problems, and emotional problems with the Pediatric Quality of Life Inventory (PedsQL) and the Korean Youth Self Report (K-YSR) scale. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation analysis, and multiple regression analysis were conducted. Results: Among the 200 total inmates, 68 were diagnosed with ADHD by the K-SADS-PL-K. Most of the correlations between PedsQL scores and K-YSR items were significant. Multiple regression analysis showed that PedsQL could be predicted by affective problems (among the DSM-oriented scales of the K-YSR) and attention problems (among the syndrome scales of the K-YSR). Conclusion: Our results demonstrate that, among juvenile inmates with ADHD, quality of life was negatively correlated with most behavioral and emotional problems. Meanwhile, the significant influence of affective and attention problems on inmates' quality of life suggests the necessity of comprehensive treatments for this group.

이 연구는 여성교정직원들에 대한 남자수용자들의 성고정관념적 인식과 태도를 조사하고, 남자수용자들의 성고정관념적 인식과 태도가 이들의 교정시설에서의 적응문제, 특히 스트레스의 수준에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 경험적으로 분석하고자 하는 목적이 있다. 이와 같은 연구의 목적을 위해 전국의 교도소에 수감되어 있는 남자 수형자들을 대상으로 설문조사하여 수집된 219명의 데이터를 사용하여 분석하였다. 연구의 분석을 위해서 연구 가설 4개를 세워 각 연구가설에 따른 분석의 수행결과, 남성수용자들의 여성교도관에 대한 성고정관념적 인식은 그리 높지 않은 것으로 나타났다. 이어서 남성수용자들의 수용생활 중의 스트레스의 수준에 여성교도관들에 대한 성고정관념적 인식이 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 남자수용자들의 전체 남녀교정직원에 대한 인식과 태도는 이들의 수용기간 동안의 스트레스 수준에 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 결과는 남자수용자들이 여성교정직원들을 여성으로 인식하기보다 전문적인 교정직원의 일원으로서 남녀의 구별없이 인식하고 있는 것으로 이해된다. 이 연구의 결과에 대한 논의와 정책적, 학문적 함의 및 후속연구에 대한 제안 등이 결과와 논의에서 더욱 논의되었다.

It is recognized that one of the major issues in jail management is responding to the needs of a growing number of inmates with mental health problems. The purpose of this study was to assess the nature and severity of mental health problems among inmate population. The mental health status of 1,500 (1,337 responded) inmates of the 30 prisons located in nationwide area was examined using Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory (MMPI). And the scores on MMPI were examined in relation to some offender characteristics such as type of offence, treatment classification, frequence of discipline. The result indicates that the percentage of inmate population with scores over 70 on every sub-categories of the scale is higher than that of general populations reflecting high rate of deviation from average normal mental health. It seems likely that many of inmates are in need of specific mental health treatment services. The nature and severity of mental health problems varies depending on offender characteristics above mentioned. It is also notable that the inmates are heterogeneous in terms of mental health status, and that severe offences such as robbery, assault, and rape or sexual assault are highly related to the scores on 'antisocial' sub category. The study also reveals that there is a relation, if not causal, between mental health problem and frequency of discipline while in prison. Under basis of these findings, this study concludes that a number of inmates in our prison have mental health problems requiring mental health treatment services and suggests five key steps to effectively respond to the prevalence of mental health problems in prison at both the level of the clinical interventions and at the level of system structure and organization. Specially, the importance of collaborative service strategies of the correctional system with mental health systems are underlined.

Aim: To compare the effectiveness of self-examination, clinical examination and screening methods using 1% toluidine blue and Lugol's iodine in estimating the prevalence of lesions at risk of malignancy and oral malignant disease amongst the male inmates of Yerwada Central Jail, Pune. Material and Methods: Study was carried out on male inmates in two phases. In the first phase self-examination and clinical examination was carried out on 2,257 male inmates. 164 suspicious cases were subjected to phase II of the study out of whom, 82 participants were screened with 1% toluidine blue and 2% Lugol's iodine followed by biopsy procedure. Results: Sensitivity and specificity for self-examination with clinical examination was 92.2% and 96.6% respectively. Sensitivity, specificity, positive (PPV) and negative predictive values (NPV) and positive (+LR) and negative likelihood ratio (-LR) for Toluidine Blue were 88.1%, 66.6% 97.1%, 30%, 2.63 and 0.17 respectively while for Lugol's Iodine they were 94.7%, 83.8%, 98.6%, 55.5%, 5.67 and 0.06 respectively. Conclusions: Prevalence of lesions at risk of malignancy and oral malignant disease by self-examination was 7.8% and by clinical examination was 6.3%. Self-examination is an effective tool in early detection of oral cancer. Use of Lugol's iodine as a screening tool for oral lesions is highly effective in inmate populations.

The Korea now incarcerates a greater percentage of its Population than any other country : For 63,000 prisoners in 40 prisons and jails. Most inmates are mate. young, poor, and morbidity groups. Most are substance abusers with substantial physical and mental health needs. Corrections in general and correctional health care in particular have suffered negative consequence : severe overcrowding, insuffcient programs as the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome(AIDS). tuberculosis, and hepatitis. The large increase in the number of substance abusers and sick and terminally ill inmates has rendered our nation's prisons and jails physically or financially unable to deal with their current populations, much less the explosive increases the future holds. It is the magnitude of inmate health problems that threatens to overwhelm the substantial gains made in correctional health care over the past two decades. As measured by recognized standards of inmate health and health services, our correctional systems are in crisis. As a nation. we must respond to the problem of health problem with national strategies that do not overwhelm the capacity of our criminal justice system to care for its inmates.

Persons who are waiting for decision of the court concerning whether they are guilty or not after they are involved in the criminal case and detained in the special institution isolated from society, will desire to de found innocent and acquited or to be slightly punished. Inmates are the suspected persons and the accused persons who are detained in the correctional institution. They have the right to de assisted by lawyes in order to receive the favorable verdict in the court. However, the right of the poor and the ignorant, in reality, cannot be perfectly protected due to the imperfection and defect of the defense counsel system itself and its application. Therefore, as a means to guarantee the so-called access to the court, the fundamental constitutional right, the law libraries are established and the legal information services are provided to the inmates within the correctional institution in the advanced country such as the United States. In addition, the judicial precedent and the various kinds of professional organizations provide the managerial guide-lines for such libraries to enoughly collect materials and to provide the effective information services to the inmates. In order to furnish the management of the correctional institution of Korea with useful information, the legal information services, materials collected, and information service personnel of the law libraries within the correctional institution are minutely examined in this paper.
