           Behavior Modification Programs:

           The Bureau Of Prisons'

           Alternative To

           Long Term Segregation


           Department of Justice







           One approach to handling problem prisoners
           is to keep them segregated--often for ex-
           tended periods--from the rest of the prison
           population. The Bureau has attempted to
           avoid such segregation by behavior modifica-
           tion programs which are aimed at making
           prisoners more amenable to institutional disci-
           pline and receptive to the Bureau's rehabilita-
           tion activities. However, the Bureau has not
           effectively managed these programs nor ade-
           quately assessed their overall operation and
           resu Its.
