Data concerning three characteristics thought to have anti-rehabilitative consequences were examined for categories of inmates at diflerent states of their institutional careers at a Federal hospital devoted to the treatment of narcotic addicts. Findings suggest that residence in this therapeutically oriented institution actually generated counter-rehabilitative attitudes and commitments. This outcome appears to have been the result of general socialization rather than of specific induction into an inmate society. Furthermore, participation in therapy seemed to have had little eflect in countering the process.
