The contribution of the Correctional Institute for Women's activities towards the development of interpersonal communication as perceived by the inmates was examined. To arrive at this aim, 30 CIW inmates were asked to answer self-assessment questionnaires pertaining to components of interpersonal communication. From these respondents, 10 were individually interviewed. Results indicated that inmates have a high level of interpersonal communication skills. Moreover, these respondents confirm that the facilitator, the content/process and the activities that the Institute provides them are contributory to the development of their skills in disclosing themselves to others, listening, maintaining a positive self-concept, effective resolution of conflict, and clarity of expression.
