Correctional research has traditionally relied on one of three approaches: 1) academic "experts" looking inward to prison organizations, personnel and inmates' 2) insiders (inmates and staff) looking out to inform the academic community; or 3) academics attempting to experience the correctional world. However, the most advantageous approach has rarely been utilized: team research by insiders and outsiders. This paper both advocates and serves to exemplify how academics and inmates can pool their expertise, perspectives and efforts to produce valid and valuable correctional research. An outline of such a team approach, identification of advantages and disadvantages, suggestions for team construction and authors' personal reflections of the process are discussed.Criminal Justice and Criminological (CJC) studies have received increasing criticism from within the ranks of educators and practitioners and from without by everyone from advocates to politicians for the field's apparent lack of influence on. and explanation of, the nation's socially unacceptably high rate of cnme. These cnacisms, jusufied or not. have ranged from qualitatively deficient CJC cumculums (Kom. 1992) to selective exclusion of controversial or mmonty issues

“…The centrality of male rape in prison is consistent with studies that suggest the threat of sexual violence dominates the prison environment and structures much of the everyday interactions among inmates (Chonko, 1989;Jones & Schmid, 1989;Maitland & Sluder, 1996, 1998McCorkle, 1993;Smith & Batiuk, 1989, Tewksbury, 1989a. It is difficult to determine whether these films reflect the prison experience or whether these attitudes are, at least in some part, imported into the prison based on cultural values about the nature of rape in prison that exist in the larger social structure.…”

“…Research also demonstrates that rape and fear of rape is a central defining characteristic of the prison experience, regardless of the actual rates of assault (Chonko, 1989;Jones & Schmid, 1989;Maitland & Sluder, 1996, 1998McCorkle, 1993;Smith & Batiuk, 1989, Tewksbury, 1989a. In other words: the threat of sexual violence dominates the prison environment and structures much of the everyday interactions that goes on among inmates.…”

Perhaps more than other institutions, correctional facilities require vigorous scrutiny: They are uniquely powerful institutions, depriving millions of people each year of liberty and taking responsibility for their security, yet are walled off from the public. They mainly confine the most powerless groups in America-poor people who are disproportionately African-American and Latino. (p. 77) Oversight of prisons is, according to the Commission on Safety, "underdeveloped and uneven" (p. 78). Until this is corrected, prisons will continue to thrive on values repugnant to a humane society.Since the demise of the judiciary's aptly named hands-off doctrine some 40 years ago (Krantz & Branham, 1997), lower federal courts have provided the most oversight of state and federal correctional institutions (Feeley & Hanson, 1990;Feeley & Rubin, 1998;Robertson, 2000). The U.S. courts of appeals, at first blush, are particularly well suited for judicial oversight because they exercise mandatory jurisdiction over appeals from the federal trial courts and the U.S. district courts (Hellman, 1999). Moreover, few cases (1%) progress further because of the U.S. Supreme Court's highly selective use of certiorari (George & Solimine, 2001).Scrutiny of jails and prisons by the 13 courts of appeals has been circumscribed by three developments. Intended to remove frivolous lawsuits from the channels of litigation, the Prison Litigation Reform Act of 1996 (Pub. L. No. 104-134) has dramatically reduced the number of prisoner civil rights filings. During 2005, the year of the most recent tally, there were 2,653 private prisoner civil rights appeals
