I'm not one of the "official" researchers here, but like to support students as they do their research projects, so I'm going to jump in on this one. I'd encourage you to do a Medline search and additional searches in psychology literature, etc. that your librarian can help you with. But I am aware of a couple of things that might interest you. There has been some research in the UK. Check the article and the bibliography that is online from the BSA. The bibliographical references in that article may provide additional bibliographic references for you if you can get ahold of the articles. The article I know about from the BSA is: Stammering in prison by Karen Bryan PhD Reg MRCSLT http://www.stammering.org/prison.html I also remember an old report by Van Riper at short course on stuttering, for the Michigan Speech and Hearing Association, October 21-22, 1971, where he told the story of "James" who had a severe stutter. James had spent 11 years in prison in Maryland. A couple old resourses were cited in Van Riper's handout. You might be interested in an historical perspective if you can track down the articles: "Hearing and Speech Behind Bars," Hearing and Speech News, Volume 39, Number 4, July-August, 1971, pp. 4-7. and Tippett, Davis and Mills, article (CVR didn't provide the title) in Western Michigan Journal of Speech Therapy, Volume 8, Number 1, March, 1971, p. 8
