Correctional administrators are equipped with a variety of responses to manage problematic inmate behavior.

Using logistic regression, the present study examines the disproportionate placement of female inmates in mental health facilities. The results suggest that placement differences for male and for female inmates reflect both psychiatric need and differential responses to role-incongruent behavior.
