Concentrating on inmates in a medium security institution, kinds and degrees of alienation were related to the duration of incarceration as well as to the extra-prison variables of race and marital status. In contrast to our a priori expectations, the results indicated that the amount of time in prison was inversely related, at statistically significant levels, to our measures of meaninglessness, powerlessness, normlessness, and social isolation. The implications of race and marital status for differentiating inmate alienations were explored in conjunction with the duration of imprisonment.
