ABRAMS Far West Laboratory LARRY M. SIEGEL Institute for Social Rehabilitation The effects of the Transcendental Meditation program in a maximum security prison were studied via cross-validation design. Each of two experiments involved the pre- and postmeasurement of a treatment and a control group with a 14-week treatment interval. All subjects were administered the Eysenck Personality Inventory, the State- Trait Anxiety Inventory, the Buss-Durkee Hostility Inventory, and a survey of sleep patterns and smoking habits. Parallel significant differences between the Transcendental Meditation and control groups across all the inventories were found via MANCOVAs, indicating reduction in anxiety, neuroticism, hostility, and insomnia as a function of the treatment. A large component of the criminality problem in the United States is the result of recidivism. A recent estimate of the recidivism rate was 57% (U.S. Department of Justice, 1975). This Authors' Note: Transcendental Meditation® and TM® are service marks of World Plan Executive Council - United States, a nonprofit, educational organization. The development and implementation of the program was only possible through the combined efforts of CRIMINAL JUSTICE AND BEHAVIOR, Vol. 5 No. 1, March 1978 © 1978 American Association of Correctional Psychologists
