Abstract
The Public Offender Counseling Inventory was developed to assess counseling outcomes in prisons. The instrument was written to be relevant to the special needs of inmates. The Public Offender Counseling Inventory was factor analyzed, and three major factors were obtained, labeled Confidence in Interpersonal Involvements, Counseling Readiness, and Self-Reliance. A test-retest reliability study was also performed on this instrument. This instrument was successfully utilized to assess the results of groups conducted with female prisoners with drug problems.Keywords
