Using the questionnaires ‘Measuring the Quality of Prison Life’ (MQPL) for prisoners and ‘Staff Measuring the Quality of Prison Life’ (SQL) for staff, data were collected from all 32 closed prisons in Norway. Based on the assumption that prison officers’ working lives, their perspectives and values influence prisoners’ quality of life, the main focus in the paper is on the officers. Small prisons (fewer than 50 prisoners) obtain more positive results than medium-sized (50-100) and large (more than 100) prisons, on several dimensions measured. The relationship between officers and prisoners seems to be of better quality in small prisons than in medium-sized and large prisons. Officers in small prisons also report more positive relationships with senior management than their colleagues in medium-sized and large prisons. The results are discussed in light of previous studies on officers and prison working life dynamics. 551 ESTABELECIMENTO PRISIONAL 105266 AMBIENTE PRISIONAL 5106 PRISÃO 7821 TRABALHO PRISIONAL NORUEGA 420646 343.8 423247 EXCEPTIONAL PRISON CONDITIONS AND THE QUALITY OF PRISON LIFE PT RCP 343.8EXC 0 343_000000000000000_8EXC 2024-10-15 9654 480510 DGRSP DGRSP DGRSP9654 343.8EXC 2024-10-15 0 MO Oferta
