Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Despite the positive benefits of maintaining pro-social connections during incarceration, individuals who are incarcerated often experience extensive external barriers that inhibit their ability to develop and nurture their connections with others. Drawing on Social Bond Theory, the present study analyzed seven years of prison newsletters to explore how incarcerated individuals describe their experiences with interpersonal relationships. Results noted various challenges in developing and maintaining connections during incarceration. Findings also highlighted the vital role of interpersonal connection in facilitating positive life improvements and providing motivation for desistance from crime. Contributing to a stronger understanding of the complexities experienced by incarcerated individuals, results from the present study hope to inform policies, programming, and resources advocating for greater opportunities for connection within prison.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
