Abstract
This project assessed the impact of increasing inmate age heterogeneity on violent and assaultive behavior at two Federal Correctional Institutions. The project spanned a period of two and one-half years. The results indicated that the strategy may be viable for establishing and maintaining a relatively nonviolent institutional environment.Keywords
