Summary: Congruence of assessments of psychosocial climate between
inmatesand prison staff was compared. Inmates assessed the climate asworse
than the staff did. The differences were smaller in openand semi-open type
of regimes. In two closed-type prisons thesignificant differences were
found for social relations, programorientation and the functioning of the
penal system. Thesocio-spatial dimensions were assessed similarly, as
extremelypoor. Climate as an indicator of potential conflict was
confirmedby riots in the closed-type prison in 1991.

Summary: Assessment of psychosocial climate showed significant
differencesbetween prisons, which could be only partly attributed
todifferences in the regimes between them. The results indicatedthat in
developing programs for open and semi-open type ofprisons more was achieved
in improving the standard of livingthan in their rehabilitative functions.
Poor climate in theclosed-type of institutions clearly indicated
considerableexposure to professioanl stress among the prison staff,
whichinterferes with the proclaimed resocialization programgoals.

Summary: Prison sentences are critically analysed in the light of
negativepsycho-social effects upon inmates, prevention of criminalactivity
and costs. Attention was drawn to alternatives whichattempt to reach the
same goals as prison sentences, but try toavoid their hindrances.
Alternative sanctions within a localcommunity are a good example of these.
However, alternativesanctions put forward new demands from courts,
probationservices and centers for social work.

score. Validation was done by testing hypotheses about thefactor structure
of subscale scores, properties of psychosocialclimate in particular penal

Title: Psychosocial clima in Croatian penal institutions -
changes over the period of five years

Summary: Psychosocial climate was assessed using the PSK-B scale in
5 Croatian penal institutions. The scale was administered to 475 inmates
who were serving the term in one of the prisons in June 1994. The results
were used to describe 13 dimensions of the penal climate. The results were
compared to to those gathered by administering the same scale in the same
facilities five years before. The major change in climate was evident in
one open type prison (Lipovica) and one closed type prison (Lepoglava). In
both cases the overall climate has decreased in quality. Lepoglava prison
was characterized by extremly poor climate during the first assessment
which led to major conflicts and incidents. The current decrease in quality
of the climate means that the climate in this prison became unbearable and
that immediate action is required.
