Two samples of inmates in Swedish prisons were compared to five control groups. Inmates exceeded controls on conscientiousness facets reflecting their environment. Also prison guards scored higher on items reflecting their environment. These findings are interpreted as an adaptation to the prison environment. Conscientiousness scores may not be used for predicting inmates' future offences.
