Phase I of this study consisted of file searches designed to determine the characteristics of female inmates at the Federal Correctional Institution -- Morgantown (West Virginia), so that program development might begin from a secure data base.

Section B examines the 10 MMPI scales in relationship to job skills according to race and the inmate's previous affiliation with a male. Section C examines the relationship between the 10 MMPI scales and the incidence of probation, parole, or C.T.C. violations.
