“…As mentioned, a spate of research has indicated that incarcerated people import their social and criminal histories with them into prison such that their experiences during incarceration often mirror their experiences prior to admission (DeLisi et al, 2004, 2010, 2011). Recent scholarship has further demonstrated that serious, chronic offending prior to incarceration is tied to disproportionate levels of prison violence and misconduct (DeLisi & Butler, 2020; Logan, Long et al, 2022), which in turn corresponds with higher levels of victimization. Evidence of the potential victim–offender overlap among incarcerated veterans could also be attributed to differences in age and socioeconomic capital (e.g., educational attainment), both of which are reflected in MnSTARR scores.…”

Studies explicitly examining the antecedents of prison victimization are rare relative to other institutional outcomes (e.g., misconduct) and are virtually nonexistent for incarcerated military veterans. In the current study, we employed Firth regression models to predict victimization among a subsample of military veterans housed by the Minnesota Department of Corrections (MnDOC) using a target congruence approach. Inconsistent with prior theory and research, we observed no differences among veterans on the basis of race and physical or mental health disorders. We did, however, observe a relationship between an individual’s risk of recidivism as measured by the MnSTARR 2.0 and victimization whereby higher scores corresponded with greater odds of victimization. Implications for theory and correctional policy are discussed and directions for future research are given.

“…Such information could also be used to inform future decisions such as compassionate release. Of course, such considerations must be balanced against other indicators of risk, including the history of and propensity for violence [ 78 ], as well as the ability to maintain and provide safety and security to others. Incorporating knowledge of genetic risk for age-related morbidity into prison administration is particularly important because manifestations of genetic risk do not remain static over time; rather, they can be curbed or exacerbated, depending on the prison experience.…”

History of incarceration is associated with an excess of morbidity and mortality. While the incarceration experience itself comes with substantive health risks (e.g., injury, psychological stress, exposure to infectious disease), most individuals eventually return from prison to the general population where they will be diagnosed with the same age-related conditions that drive mortality in the non-incarcerated population but at exaggerated rates. However, the interplay between history of incarceration as a risk factor and more traditional risk factors for age-related diseases (e.g., genetic risk factors) has not been studied. Here, we focus on cognitive impairment, a hallmark of neurodegenerative conditions like Alzheimer’s disease, as an age-related state that may be uniquely impacted by the confluence of environmental stressors (e.g., incarceration) and genetic risk factors. Using data from the Health and Retirement Study, we found that incarceration and APOE-ε4 genotype (i.e., the chief genetic risk factor for Alzheimer’s disease) both constituted substantive risk factors for cognitive impairment in terms of overall risk and earlier onset. The observed effects were mutually independent, however, suggesting that the risk conveyed by incarceration and APOE-ε4 genotype operate across different risk pathways. Our results have implications for the study of criminal-legal contact as a public health risk factor for age-related, neurodegenerative conditions.

The Victim-Offender Overlap in Prisons and Associated Challenges for Prison Managers

Thus far, victimisation and offending in prison have been studied largely as separate phenomena. As a result, the overlap between these categories has received little attention, even though offending may increase the risk of victimisation, and vice versa. First, this chapter considers how and why the victim-offender overlap exists in prison by drawing on prior research, and examining the most appropriate theoretical explanations beyond the importation and deprivation perspective. In addition to situational dynamics of mutual assault and retaliation, the organisational nature of the illicit economy should be examined to understand the victim-offender overlap. The second part of this chapter discusses the victim-offender overlap—particularly in relation to the illicit economy—from a prison-management perspective, using interview data from 45 prison managers in Dutch prisons. The following three challenges are discussed: (1) prison managers are required to sanction addiction-driven drug use; (2) prison managers often sanction people who act under duress; and (3) the leaders ‘in charge’ of the illicit economy are difficult to sanction. As will be shown, increasing safety in prisons is not simply a matter of sanctioning misconduct.
