This PAI-SP module enables correctional psychologists and staff to generate an interpretive report that identifies offenders’ risk of institutional misconduct during incarceration, describes offenders’ psychosocial needs, and estimates how offenders are likely to respond to incarceration and rehabilitative programs.

Features and Benefits

• A Staff Management Summary provides an integrated summary of the offender’s PAI profile in terms of his or her specific psychological functioning and institutional management factors.

• Profiles contrast the offender’s test scores with those of (a) the PAI community sample, (b) approximately 1,200 incarcerated offenders from multiple correctional facilities around the country, and (c) offenders of the same gender.

• The Addictive Characteristics scale helps identify individuals at risk for substance use problems; three validity scales aid in identifying location-specific random responding and help identify inconsistent responding that is specific to correctional settings.
