Abstract
This chapter offers in-depth coverage of psychology and law research investigating the perception of jailhouse informants in court. As we stated earlier, psychology and law research has made clear that testimony from a jailhouse informant can influence jurors in a courtroom as much as an incriminating confession made by a defendant. Moreover, psychological research has shown that it is extremely difficult to attenuate the influence of a jailhouse informant on jurors. Therefore, it is critical to understand when and why this testimony has such a powerful influence on courtroom judgments. To this end, this chapter reviews all past studies investigating the impact of jailhouse informants in court, offers unpublished data on this issue, and discusses future research trends investigating jailhouse informants.
