A total sample consisted of 39 (N=39) inmates, 24 inmates (N<sub>t</sub>=24) from Tuzla's prison and 15 inmates (N<sub>RC</sub>=15) from Reggio Calabria's prison were explored. The following attitudes differences between Tuzla's and Reggio Calabria's inmates were investigated: the global attitude toward the life after prison, the attitude toward the behavior of social environment toward them, the attitude toward the adaptation to social environment, as well as the attitude toward finding a job after going out of the prison. Tuzla's inmates showed the tendency of showing bigger optimism in attitudes toward future life (life after prison) than the inmates from Reggio Calabria. The attitudes were significantly different between Tuzla's and Reggio Calabria's inmates regarding the behavior of their social environment, as welll as the attitude toward finding a job after going out of prison.
