Bi-level analyses from 1,740 officers in 45 prisons revealed that officers' sex and race mattered for shaping an officer's pride with co-workers, consideration of transferring to another facility, and perceptions of co-workers' job satisfaction, but only as they were linked to perceptions of sexism and racism. Perceptions of safety also mattered. Yet, levels of inmate crime and victimization were irrelevant for shaping attitudes. Positive attitudes were also more common in facilities housing higher risk populations, and in facilities for men. 31 references (Publisher abstract modified)
