Abstract

The thesis was that six-week long classes on change primarily based on the Transtheoretical Model using biblical examples and taught at the Laramie County Detention Center in Cheyenne, Wyoming would lower inmates' resistance to change. Research indicates this would reduce the likelihood of recifivism. The University of Rhode Island Change Assessment Scale was used to measure inmate attitudes toward change. The results indicated that inmates experienced attitude changes at the 90% confidence level, although caution is needed when considering the results given the small sample size.
