Full textAbstract:
"This dissertation seeks to investigate: (a) whether national human rights institutions are best suited to oversee the improvement of prison conditions; (b) why national institutions are in a better position than others working in this field to monitor the respect of prisoners' rights; and (c) some of the ways in which national institutions can achieve this objective. This will entail an examination of the nature of prisoners' rights and prison conditions and, thereafter, the general character and elements that define national human rights commissions in terms of organization and establishment. These elements will be considered with a view to finding out whether they offer any advantages that can positively influence the conditions of prisons and prisoners and if so, how. It is recognized that national institutions are not the only ones involved in seeking to improve prison conditions. It will be argued however, that even with the existence of the other bodies, there still exists the need for national institutions to be expressly mandated to inspect and monitor the adherence to standards on prisoners' rights. The argument will again be based on the examination of the unique characteristics that these institutions possess as distinguished from other bodies, and the potential these characteristics have to ameliorate the conditions in which prisoners find themselves. ... Chapter one introduces the study and the questions that have prompted the study. Chapter two looks at the nature of pisons, how they began to be and what purposes they serve. This chapter also examines the conditions of prisons in Africa. The scope of chapter three is prisoners' rights, what they are, their justification and the legal regime that regulates their observance. Chapter four focuses on the implementation aspect by looking into what national human rights instiutions are. The final chapter will examine how national institutions have utilized or might utilize their characteristics in favor of the protection of the human rights of prisoners. Conclusions and recommendations will then follow." -- Chapter 1.Prepared under the supervision of Dr. Jean Allain at the Political Science Department, American University in Cairo, Egypt

Full textAbstract:
YesThis chapter examines competition and collusion among criminal justice institutions and non-state actors in imprisonment in prisons in Brazil to analyse how both formal and informal dispositions and practices have created and sustain the mass incarceration that is a pre-condition for extensive prisoner self-governance. The chapter thus looks from the outside-in, examining how relationships between extra-mural institutions have created and sustained such an enormous prison population in Brazil. It also analyses these institutions and organisations as intra-mural actors that, through their action or inaction, exercise a key role in shaping the carceral experience for inmates. It highlights the competition between the different actors involved in the penal arena for control of the carceral space and of prisoners, driven by a variety of motives – rent-seeking, moral/philosophical, and territorial.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis portfolio presents an autoethnographic account of a prison educator engaged in a research project that explores creative approaches to arts, prison education, work and training in custodial settings. The position of the researcher is located in-between and across professional practices including arts in prisons, prison education, work and training environments, which have conflicting agendas that, nevertheless, share the same institutional space. Policymakers and management bodies regulating these professional practices expect education and training to contribute to reducing reoffending. Procedurally, the research process was precariously balanced between, on the one hand, performing to measures of quality based on the requirement to reduce recidivism, and on the other, crude outcome measures driven by a utilitarian marketization of prison education that includes course completion rates calculated on the basis of minimum contact time. This broader context created an uncertain and constantly shifting context for the research, which began with my search for an effective creative practice in a Performing Arts Department (PAD) and ends in a Functional English classroom (FEC). Conceptually, the research draws on the What Works debate (McGuire, 1995; Brayford et al. 2010), which continues to create a disjuncture between policy and implementation resulting from unrealistic assumptions that arts and education programmes in prison might prevent reoffending, with evidence relying solely upon randomisation, reductive causation and numerical calculation. It also draws on desistance theory (Maruna, 2001; McNeil, 2006), which argues that desistance from crime can be understood as an indirect process, rather than an event. From an examination of my efforts to implement and develop creative approaches to education via autoethnographic tools, including fictional performative writing, I argue two main points. Firstly, the autonomy required by the creative prison educator engaged in an advanced research project re-positions the professional in a particular relationship with the bewildering processes of power, protectionism and performance management in the criminal justice system. Secondly, and as demonstrated through fictional performative writing, I argue that research methods engaging voices from the frontline of educational environments, can reveal seemingly small details relating to the challenges and possibilities of creative education in prisons that, nonetheless, have significant implications for developing productive and innovative approaches to desistance from crime. Moreover, from this grounded, yet restricted position, I speculate how such approaches might extend both creativity and creatively beyond the validation of this doctorate qualification.

Full textAbstract:
Background: Since inmates in Canada are excluded from household statistics, very little information is known about obesity prevalence or associated risks in this vulnerable population. This is a problem since obesity rates are high in Canada, and obesity is considered a public health crisis. Furthermore, the burden of obesity is disproportionately carried by low-income, vulnerable and marginalized populations (such as inmates). The goal of this study was to determine weight changes during incarceration in Canadian federal penitentiaries, and to determine which factors were influential at the socio-demographic, behavioral, institutional and policy level.
Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study that used a quantitative approach. The setting for this study was 12 correctional institutions in Ontario, New Brunswick and Nova Scotia (or the “Atlantic region”). Administrative data were collected from 1420 inmates, with 754 of these participants also participating in a face to face interview to gather additional data on self-reported behavioral determinants and measured anthropometric data. Eligibility criteria for inmates to participate were: a recorded admission weight in their medical chart, housed in their current institution for at least 6 months, not acutely or terminally ill (and requiring hospitalization), and not pregnant or in a wheelchair.
Results: We found that almost three quarters of inmates (73%) gained weight during incarceration. Obesity rates increased by 71%, going from 26.6% to 45.4%. The observed weight gain was associated with the tobacco ban (macrosystem level), the use of commissary store (or “canteen”) (at the microsystem level), and many determinants at the individual level (physical activity, diet, smoking status). The observed weight gain was also significantly associated with age, ethnicity, length of incarceration, duration of total sentence and region. It was however not associated with the national menu, food service/feeding system, sleep, screen time, mental health status or psychotropic medication use. Some inmates who gained excessive weight also developed obesity related illnesses.
Interpretation: The observed weight gain was deemed to be unhealthy, since obesity rates increased significantly (and the proportion of inmates with normal weight decreased). These findings have potential repercussions on inmate health, since the observed weight gain was associated with the development of obesity related illnesses. Lastly, many of the factors associated with the observed weight gain were modifiable, which means it is possible to intervene to manage weight gain during incarceration.

Nors jie, kaip ir kiti žmonės, turi prigimtines teises, kurių niekas negali nei atimti, nei apriboti, tačiau jas realizuoti dėl savo riboto veiksnumo gali tik iš dalies. Nors kalinių teises bei pareigas ir jų įkalinimo sąlygas privalo užtikrinti net kelios institucijos, kyla klausimas, ar šios institucijos tinkamai vykdo savo funkcijas. Net ir praėjus kiek daugiau nei devyniolikai metų po Lietuvos Respublikos nepriklausomybės atkūrimo, įkalinimo sąlygos Lietuvoje, tarptautinių nepriklausomų institucijų vertinimu, yra itin prastos.

Full textAbstract:
The aim of this study is to explore the modern history of prison physical culture in order to better understand how perceptions of the muscular criminal male body have influenced the construction of prison physical culture and opportunities for physical activity in American correctional institutions. My focus on the recent weight lifting ban in the United States is designed to appraise how criminological knowledge of the muscular criminal male body has influenced penal policy over time. Through a selection of specific historical episodes in prison physical culture from the late 18th century to current correctional practice I evaluate the complicated interplay between penology, criminology, somatotyping, politics, prison physical culture and the enactment of the legal ban on prison weight lifting in 1994.
Working from a critical socio-historical perspective this study intends to add to the limited knowledge of prison physical culture, research on physical activity in correctional facilities and attitudes toward the corporeal experience of those confined to prison. My study has been guided by the following research questions: 1) how have historical perceptions of the muscular criminal body developed, and in turn, influenced penal policy over time? In particular, what have been the influences of body profiling and somatotyping on the role of inmate’s weight lifting in prisons?; 2) in light of this, how can we better understand the reasoning behind the enactment of the 1994 weight lifting ban placed on prison physical culture within the United States?; 3) what have been the effects of the weight lifting ban on contemporary prison physical culture?
This study is an interdisciplinary project which utilizes qualitative methodologies in the collection and analysis of documents and resources from kinesiology, criminology, anthropometry, and penology. Critical discourse analysis framed by Gee (1999, 2006) and Foucauldian perspectives on discipline, punishment and power provide the framework for my analysis of prison physical culture over time and place.Education, Faculty of

Different Perspectives is a study of detainees' and guards' experiences of the remand prison. The result of the study shows that the remand prison brings forth the individuals anxiety, stress and fear. The individual detained in remand prison have a great need for contact with their families, but also with the guards. In the remand prison there is always a great level of control and always some kind of power practised. It is the guards who have the power and the competences to make the individuals detained in remand prison follow the rules and do what they have been told. The society possesses biases and a great curiosity about remand prisons and the people being there. This can lead to stigmatization among both the detained individuals as well as the guards.

Thesis (MCur) -- University of Stellenbosch, 2005.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: A non-experimental descriptive study was conducted in four prisons in the Western Cape. The research focussed on the standard of care within primary health care settings in the purposively selected prisons. No official written standards existed to measure the quality of care. After an in-depth literature study, structure, process and outcome standards were formulated and validated. The main findings of the study indicated that: • Standards in these three dimensions of care did not meet the pre-set level of performance as determined by the researcher; • The clients were generally satisfied with the hygiene in the clinics; • Aspects of concern were the lack of explanation offered to the clients before and after consultations and nursing care interventions. The researcher recommends the implementation of a comprehensive quality care model for the health care of the prisoners with adequate human and nonhuman resources Core words: Qualtiy care, Correctional services health care, Nursing care in prisons.

Derrière la théorie, c'est dans l'acceptation sociale d'un nivellement par le haut de ces droits que réside le défi démocratique, leur aménagement ne devant plus servir de paravent à une éviction des détenus et des HSC de leur jouissanceSince the French Revolution in 1789, depriving persons of their freedom by locking them up has become the automatic answer of public authorities to penal and psychiatric matters. This institutional solution to the social problems of delinquency and insanity is organised around a new paradigm : the "total institution". This standardising model tramples on persons, their dignity and their rights ; nevertheless prison and psychiatric total institutions remain the tool society chooses most of the time to keep its "disturbing" persons apart. The shock of the Nazi abuses added to this dehumanising instrumentalisation of inmates triggers a new fervour for the human rights and brings to light, with the destruction of the totalitarian model, the more flexible paradigm of public service and its "rules", a priori conductor of a protecting framework for individuals ; it does not mean to renounce to deprivation of freedom but to give a humanist framework of action to manage these cases. Thus, the inmate holds rights specific to successive citizenship recognised to persons in time. But, the evolution is neither linear nor finished. Deprivation of freedom, in its triangular relations between person, society and institution, remains the latent prey of all securitarian tendencies, to the detriment of the rights of the concerned persons. Behind the theory, the democratic challenge is, for society, to accept the levelling up of these rights ; their adaptation must no longer be used as a disguise to take their fundamental rights away from inmates

Full textAbstract:
Research has consistently demonstrated strong relationships between high levels of adherence to traditional masculinity ideology and poor health and behavior outcomes (e.g., Levant & Richmond, 2007; O'Neil, 2008). Though recent studies have demonstrated support for theories of multiple masculinities or the idea that one's masculinity ideology is developed, maintained, and restructured according to one's social and environmental contexts (e.g., Smiler, 2004), understanding how male gender contributes to social problems within diverse communities, social groups, and contexts is not well established (Mankowski & Maton, 2010). The current study examined how individual and contextual variables predict change in level of adherence to traditional masculinity ideology among a diverse sample of incarcerated adolescent males convicted of felony crimes in the state of Ohio. In particular, while literature has described prison settings as an environment that ignores gender (e.g., Lutze & Murphy, 1999; Messerschmidt, 1993), the current study assessed the effectiveness of a strength-based program at successfully decreasing adherence to traditional masculinity within two of the four participating juvenile justice facilities in ODYS. Using hierarchical linear modeling informed by a qualitative follow-up sequence design, study found younger adolescents and African American youth with low levels of ethnic pride to have higher levels of adherence to traditional masculinity at the beginning of the study compared to older adolescents and White youth or African American youth with high levels of ethnic pride. Interestingly, age did not predict changes in levels of adherence to traditional masculinity ideology over time, however, White youth's level of adherence increased over time and African American youth's level of adherence remained relatively stable. Moreover, youth with good attendance in the program experienced less dramatic increases in adherence to traditional masculinity compared to those with poor attendance. Thematic analysis of qualitative data supports the study's finding that program participation predicts changes in levels of adherence to traditional masculinity ideology over time. In addition to providing support for quantitative findings, the thematic analysis highlights some potential gaps in the quantitative assessment of masculinity ideology that must be considered in future research. For example, youth describe an alternative ideal form of masculinity, sometimes characterized by the youth as "man up," that provides a level of flexibility that is counter to that of traditional masculinity. Moreover, the qualitative findings also raise questions about the validity of the survey measure of masculinity (AMIRS; Chu, 2005) for use with African American and incarcerated youth. Finally, the study supports theories of multiple masculinities and offers preliminary evidence that gender specific, strengths-based programming can influence adherence to traditional masculinity ideology among youth in juvenile justice facilities.

Full textAbstract:
A la fin du XIXème siècle, sauf à l’intérieur de quelques garnisons et forts de traite européens de la côte, les prisons étaient méconnues en Afrique. Aujourd’hui, 50 ans après les indépendances, les Etats africains utilisent encore massivement le système pénitentiaire légué par les colonisateurs. Comme le rappellent toujours les prisons surpeuplées, le système carcéral s’étend désormais sur l’ensemble des sociétés au sud du Sahara. Aujourd’hui encore ce réseau architectural colonial n’a point été détruit ni remplacé. Il fournit d’ailleurs la majeure partie des bâtiments utilisés par le régime pénal des Etats contemporains. D’autre part, les arsenaux juridiques utilisés s’inspirent de ceux du système colonial et la prison fait partie d’un ensemble plus vaste d’institutions héritées de la colonisation qui sont toujours fonctionnelles dans ce contexte où la tradition est toujours présente. C’est au regard du surpeuplement des prisons au Mali, des conditions inhumaines d’incarcération et de détention et des textes dépassés et inadaptés qui les régissent que nous avons voulu réfléchir à une possible réforme dont les autorités ont toujours parlé, mais qui n’est jamais faite. Il s’agit, dans les présentes recherches, d’examiner l’histoire sociale, culturelle et politique des arsenaux répressifs apparus au Mali depuis l’esclavage au XIXème siècle jusqu’aux prisons actuelles. Il s’agit d’une tentative de compréhension des aspects intellectuels et philosophiques de la prison et l’enfermement dans la tradition des ethnies et des terroirs du Mali, ce qui nous permettra de réfléchir sur la pratique des institutions coloniales de répression dans la vie quotidienne des populations et d’analyser l’actualité des prisons au quotidien pour voir s’il est possible d’avoir des prisons humanisées reposant sur des concepts de justice traditionnelle d’une part, et d’autre part, sur des normes internationalement reconnues en la matière. Cette recherche vise surtout à comprendre les supports sociologiques d’une réforme des prisons au Mali et à répondre à des questions de légitimité qui cherchent à savoir sur quoi doit reposer la réforme : sur la tradition ou sur la modernité ou sur les deux ? En outre, elle sert à se faire une idée sur la faisabilité d’une réforme et à édifier sur l’utilité sociale de la prison dans une société qui ne l’a pas toujours connu et dont la pauvreté incite à imaginer des solutions novatrices et simples qui visent à donner un mieux vivre aux populations, à toutes les populations aussi bien à l’extérieur qu’à l’intérieur des centres de détention. L’objectif visé est de contribuer à un projet global de bonne gestion de la société malienne, car les programmes de développement initiés dans nos pays africains, mettent en marge le développement de la vie en prison. Pourtant, en prison, vivent aussi des hommes qui doivent être pris en compte par les Etats dans les programmes, les projets de réforme. C’est là, notre ambition de contribuer aux initiatives pouvant aider à développer le pays, à donner aux populations partout où elles se trouvent, le sens de la vie, la considération, enfin à permettre de cerner la place de la prison dans le vaste chantier de la réforme de l’État. Il s’agit donc de réfléchir au lien entre réforme de l’Etat et réforme de la prison, d’autant plus que la réforme pénitentiaire est transversale et ne peut atteindre la légitimité souhaitée sans toucher à beaucoup d’autres secteurs de la société comme la sécurité, la santé, la pauvreté, l’emploi etcAt the end of the twentieth century, prisons were unknown in Africa except in a few garrison towns and European forts involved in slave trade. Today, fifty years after they achieve their independence, African countries are massively applying the prison system left by the former colonizers. Overpopulated prisons are good indicators that the penitentiary system extends to the whole of the societies in the Southern part of Sahara. Today still, this colonial architectural network has not been demolished or replaced as shown by the majority of the buildings still in place in contemporary States. Legal arsenals have also been inspired by those of the colonial system; the prison is part of a larger grid of institutions inherited from the colonization, which are still functional in an environment where tradition remains vibrant.In view of the overcrowded prisons, inhuman conditions of detention and incarceration, and inadequate and outdated legal texts, we aim at reflecting on a possible reform, which authorities have always desired to institute but never did. We seek to examine the political, cultural and social history of the repressive arsenals that have been in use in Mali since the period of slavery in the 20th century to the present prisons. Our objective is to understand the intellectual and philosophical aspects of the prison -and imprisonment- in the ethnic and regional tradition of Mali; such research will allow us to consider the influence of the colonial repressive institutions in the everyday life of the population, and to analyze the daily agenda of the prisons so as to evaluate the possibility of making prisons more human on the basis of traditional justice concepts and internationally recognized norms. Such research aims at understanding the sociological basis for a prison reform in Mali and answer those who question the legitimacy of such a reform: shall it be based on tradition or modernity or both? Moreover, this research will help to determine whether such reform would be feasible, and to enlighten on the social utility of prisons in a society that has not always known them and whose poverty incites to envision new and simple solutions, which aim at giving a better life to the population, both inside and outside detention centers. Our ultimate objective is to contribute to a global project for a good management of Malian society while we observe that the development programs that have been initiated in African countries put improvement of life in prison at the margin. Yet, human beings also live in prison and therefore, States must take them into account in their programs and reform projects. This is precisely our motivation, which is to contribute to initiatives that may impact on the development of this country, and give to the population the sense of life and consideration as well as an understanding of the place of the prisons in the vast area of State reforms. This means that we need to reflect on the link between State reform and prison reform, even more as the prison reform is a transversal issue, which cannot be legitimate if it does not consider many other sectors in society including security, health, poverty, employment, etc

The present dissertation exposes the results of the research realized in the Center of Female Social Reintegration in the city of Foz do Iguaçu (CRESF). The general objective of the reseach was discuss the prison institution and it's porosity, using as exemple the language of the internal, that is, the use and the non use of different forms of comunication, action where we can observe the relation that each internal has with the prison institution and between them. It was possible to observe a relation between the use and non use of certain forms of comunication among the internals and how they stand front of the institutionalization. The importance of this work is evidenced, considering the statistical data. Currently, Brasil has six times the amount of imprisoned of the end of 80's decade, owning the fifth largest female imprisoned population. The research was produced from the bibliographical revision about the theme, analysis of disponibilized data by the administration of the prison ant the realization of direct observation in CRESF for approximately one year. With the research was possible to evidence that the total institution, concept defended by Erving Goffman, presents porosity in the case fo the referenced female prison. In this sense, affirms that doesn't have a mortification of the "me" in a homogeneous way that reach all the internals. The use or non-use of the language elaborated by the internals reveals the diversity existent and the relation that each internal has with the institution, how some consider the prison a place or a non-place.
A presente dissertação expõe os resultados da pesquisa realizada no Centro de Reintegração Social Feminino na cidade de Foz do Iguaçu (CRESF). O objetivo geral da pesquisa foi discutir a instituição prisional e suas porosidades, usando como exemplo a linguagem das internas, ou seja, o uso e o não uso de diferentes formas de comunicação, ação que podemos observar a relação que cada interna possui com a instituição prisional e entre elas. Foi possível observar uma relação entre o uso e o não uso de certas formas de comunicação entre as internas e como se posicionam diante da institucionalização. A importância deste trabalho é evidenciada considerando os dados estatísticos. Atualmente, o Brasil possui o sêxtuplo da quantidade de encarcerados do final da década de 1980, possuindo a quinta maior população carcerária feminina do mundo. A pesquisa foi produzida a partir da revisão bibliográfica sobre o tema, análise dos dados disponibilizados pela administração da prisão e a realização da observação direta no CRESF por aproximadamente um ano. Com a pesquisa pôde-se evidenciar que a instituição total, conceito defendido por Erving Goffman, apresenta porosidades no caso da prisão feminina referenciada. Nesse sentido, afirma-se que não há uma mortificação do eu de uma forma homogênea e que atinge a todas as internas. O uso ou não-uso da linguagem elaborada pelas internas demonstra a diversidade existente e a relação que cada interna possui com a instituição, como algumas consideram a prisão um lugar ou um não-lugar.

Thesis (MPhil (Political Science))--University 2010.ENGLISH ABSTRACT: This dissertation’s primary focus is why torture is used when torture is not an effective means of gathering intelligence. To answer this question the argument for the use of torture, commonly known as the ticking time bomb argument, is discussed. Due to psychological and physiological processes during torture interrogation it was found that torture cannot be relied upon to deliver truthful information. Torture was also found to adversely affect the institutions that are needed for its establishment. After torture has been found to be of no utility in terms of the appropriation of information the question of why torture is still used is answered by means of discussing societal dynamics as well as the political process surrounding torture. On the societal front it was found that American public opinion towards torture is ambivalent. The reason for this includes a host of socio-psychological factors such as the in-group out-group bias as well the War on Terror as a political ideology in its own right. The notion that anybody is likely to torture is also explored by means of discussing the Milgram’s Obedience Experiment as well as the Stanford Prison Experiment. On the political front the notion that the abuses at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo Bay were the work of a few bad apples is dispelled since it formed part of a deliberative political process that tried to make torture a legitimate foreign policy measure. The reason for the existence of this process is the failure of international and domestic checks and balances. On the international front U.S. unilateralism as foreign policy principle is cited as the reason for the ineffectiveness of international measures to stop torture. On the domestic front the permanent rally around the flag effect due to the permanent state of mobilization in the War on Terror is cited as the reason for the failure of domestic checks and balances. The lessons learnt from the research enables the creation of measures on how to stop torture even when it is found that the necessary political will is not present within the Obama administration. In the absence of political will it must be manufactured by means of the actions of civil society, the free press and the international community. It was found that the most effective means would be the creation of a committee of inquiry to create the political memory of the use of torture and how it was established. Additionally a memorial must be erected as well seeing that inquiries create political memories but they do not sustain it.
AFRIKAANSE OPSOMMING: Hierdie tesis se fokus is om na te vors waarom marteling gebruik word as dit nie ‘n effektiewe wyse is om inligting in te win nie. Om hierdie vraagstuk te beantwoord word die argument vir die gebruik van marteling naamlik die tikkende-tydbom-argument bespreek. Asgevolg van sielkundige en fisiologiese prosesse tydens ondervragings wat gebruik maak van marteling kan daar nie op marteling staatgemaak word om die waarheid op te lewer nie. Dit was ook bevind dat marteling die instansies, wat nodig is vir die gebruik daarvan, op ‘n negatiewe wyse beïnvloed. Nadat daar vasgestel is dat marteling geen nutswaarde aangaande die inwinning van informasie bied nie word die vraagstuk waarom marteling steeds gebruik word beantwoord. Op die samelewingsvlak kan daar gestel word dat die Amerikaanse samelewing onseker is oor of marteling gebruik moet word al dan nie. Verskeie redes vir hierdie opinie word aangevoer waarvan die in-group out-group bias en die Oorlog teen Terreur as politieke ideologie slegs twee daarvan uitmaak. Dat enige persoon in staat is tot marteling onder die regte stel omstandighede word ook bespreek na aanleiding van die Milgram’s Obedience Experiement en die Stanford Prison Experiment. Op die politiese vlak is daar vasgestel dat die menseregteskendings in Abu Ghraib en Guantanamo Bay nie die werk was van slegs `n paar indiwidue was nie, maar deel uitmaak van ‘n doelbewuste politiese proses wat marteling as ‘n legitieme buitelandse beleidskwessie wil afmaak. Die rede waarom die beleidsproses bestaan kan toegeskryf word aan die mislukking van inter- en intranasionale wigte en teenwigte. Op die internasionale vlak kan daar gestel word dat die Verenigde State se unilateralistiese modus operandi die rede is vir die mislukking van internasionale maatreëls teen marteling. Op die intranasionale front kan daar gestel word dat die Amerikaanse publiek verkeer in ‘n permanent rally around the flagtoestand asgevolg van die permanent mobilisasie in die Oorlog teen Terreur. Uit die lesse wat geleer is uit die navorsing kan daadwerklike stappe gedoen word om die gebruik van marteling stop te sit alhoewel die Obama-administrasie se politiese wil ontbreek. Met die tekort aan politiese wil moet die politiese wil geskep word deur die burgerlik samelewing, the vrye pers asook die internasionale gemeenskap. Daar was gevind dat die mees effektiewe wyse om marteling stop te sit sal deurmiddel van ‘n kommissie van ondersoek wees. Die kommissie se doel sal wees om te bepaal hoe marteling tot stand gekom het en ‘n politiese herinnering te skep. Daar moet ook ‘n bykomende maatreël wees, naamlik die oprigting van ‘n monument aangesien kommissies van ondersoek politiese herinneringe skep maar nie in stand hou nie.

Despite the Swedish Prison and Probation Service (SPPS) are a pioneer on the global arena regarding the area of corrections, generally little is known of what they do in Sweden as well as internationally. This study will explore the SPPS implementation of prison development in Somalia, which will be done through interviews with seconded personnel and others within the Swedish government that have connections to the prison development in Somalia. The findings were able to answer the research questions for this thesis, namely what the SPPS are doing internationally, what they are doing in Somalia and lastly if they have seen any results in Somalia. In the analysis, the middle power theory was used through an abductive approach to see if the SPPS fulfilled the criterions for the theory namely moral power, multilateralism and conflict management. It is concluded that the SPPS work in Somalia have been effective. They have contributed considerably to the local development and the seconded personnel has also learnt lessons for life which they can use also in their further carriers. Through their contacts, which they have established, they might also contribute further bilaterally even in the event of a withdrawal from the United Nations.

The objective of this work is to investigate the prison system of Portugal to understand the situation of women, analyzing the situation from a gender perspective and institutional development. The increase in women prisoners is an important problem for society, but it is a topic that has not been sufficiently analyzed in modern society. An important theme to analyze the future of institutional development and to expand and consolidate the forms of intervention and adapt to the times that change fast. In this study, documentary research was privileged in addition to the theoretical foundation on the subject. The limits due to the world emergency situation did not allow interviews to incarcerated women, but it is hoped that this work can contribute to further studies on the subject.

Este trabalho tem por objetivo identificar e analisar a intersecção do racismo e sexismo institucionais no Conjunto Penal Feminino de Salvador, Bahia, Complexo Penitenciário Lemos de Brito, utilizando, para tanto, o conceito de interseccionalidade como ferramenta teórico-metodológica e prática à captura dos marcadores do binômio gênero-raça que dão margem à opressão diferenciada das mulheres negras em privação de liberdade. Filia-se à metodologia afrodescendente de pesquisa e à contribuição epistemológica do feminismo negro. Trata-se de uma investigação concentrada em estudos sobre mulheres, gênero e feminismo, trazendo à tona a ausência de políticas públicas em gênero e raça voltadas às encarceradas, agravando as tecnologias de poder na execução penal. O trabalho se baseia em estudo de campo de cunho etnográfico realizado durante os meses de dezembro de 2011 e janeiro de 2012 no referido Conjunto Penal Feminino, período em que foram entrevistadas dirigentes, agentes carcerários e internas. O estudo revelou que, a exemplo do que acontece em outras instituições penais femininas, as encarceradas são majoritariamente pobres, negras, semialfabetizadas, presas por tráfico de drogas. Todas são submetidas a situações de constrangimento, perda da privacidade, péssimo atendimento médico, violência psicológica e moral de toda sorte por parte da equipe de agentes, sendo que as negras, por força da sua condição de raça e classe que resulta em baixa escolaridade, não desfrutam nem mesmo das poucas possibilidades de trabalho existentes. O estudo revelou também a pouca tolerância, tanto por parte da instituição quanto das próprias internas, à prática de religiões afro-brasileiras, bem como ao pleno exercício da sexualidade, com destaque para a incidência da lesbofobia. Revelou, ainda, que o conjunto penal estudado está longe de fazer valerem as Regras Mínimas de Tratamento de Presas, em vigor desde 2010. The objective of this study is to identify and analyze the intersection of institutionalized racism and sexism in the Penitentiary for Women of Salvador, Bahia, which is part of the Lemos de Brito Penal Complex. For that purpose, it relies on the concept of intersectionality as a theoretical, methodological, and practical tool to capture the markers of the binomial race-gender that engender the differentiated oppression of black women in a situation of imprisonment. It is affiliated to an afro-descendant research methodology and to the epistemological contribution of Black feminism. The investigation is concentrated on the field of studies on women, gender, and feminism, showing that the absence of public policies informed by a gender and race perspective, geared towards imprisoned women, intensify the technologies of power in penal execution. The study is based on ethnographic field research carried out during the months of December, 2011, and January, 2012, when prison directors, staff, and interns were interviewed. The study revealed that, as it happens in other similar institutions, most of the imprisoned women are poor, black, partially illiterate, and imprisoned on drug traffic charges. It showed that while all are subjected to humiliating situations, loss of privacy, poor medical assistance, and different forms of violence on the part of the institution, black women, due to their condition of race and class which results in low levels of schooling, are even deprived of the few work opportunities available. The study also revealed instances of lack of tolerance, both on the part of the staff as well as of other inmates, towards the practice of Afro-Brazilian religions, as well as to the exercise of sexuality, with expressions of lesbophobia. It further reviewed that the institution under investigation is far from putting into practice the Minimum Rules for the Treatment of Imprisoned Women enacted since 2010.

Full textAbstract:
Les prisons ouvertes constituent un modèle pénitentiaire singulier, qui puise son origine dans des expérimentations carcérales de la première moitié du XIXème siècle. Leurs caractéristiques et leurs atouts ont été définis en 1955 par la jeune Organisation des Nations-Unies en même temps que fut encouragé leur usage. Malgré ce soutien, les prisons ouvertes ne trouvèrent pas partout le même espace pénologique, ce que le cas français illustre largement par la faible proportion d’utilisation réservée à ces établissements. De plus, l’ultra-minorité des prisons ouvertes françaises s’accompagne de critères d’emploi qui font figures d’exceptions, en comparaison des autres pays européens utilisateurs de ce modèle.Toutefois, la réforme des modalités d’exécution des peines intervenue récemment dans l’hexagone pourrait entrainer une reconsidération de leurs fonctions. La présente recherche propose donc de situer ces établissements dans les nouvelles inflexions qui touchent la pénologie européenne et française, tout en envisageant la place que pourraient être amenées à y trouver les différentes déclinaisons du modèle ouvert de détentionOpen prisons constitute a unique model prison, which has its origin in prison experiments of the first half of the nineteenth century. Their characteristics and strengths were identified in 1955 by the young United-nations, when was also encouraged their use. Despite this support, open prisons are not found everywhere the same penological space, as the French low rate of utilization illustrated well. In addition, the ultra-minority of French open prisons and their criteria of employment figure as an exception, in comparison with the other European countries witch use this model.However, the reform of the enforcement sentences system recently intervened in the hexagon could lead to a reconsideration of their use. So this research proposes to locate these facilities in new inflections that affect the European and French penology, while considering the role that could be led to find different versions of the open institution model

Full textAbstract:
Over the last fifty years, California has become one of the largest jailers in the world, incarcerating nearly 128,000 men and women on a $10.5 billion budget. The prison population has rapidly risen over this period, resulting in overly crowded, chaotic prisons and jails that became increasingly difficult to manage. As correctional officers and officials lost control over the prison social order, inmates looked to themselves and created a new set of social norms through race-based gangs. What began with the formation of the Mexican Mafia in 1957 now dictates prison social life, where racially segregated cells, cafeterias, yards, and gyms are the new norm. In an attempt to manage this new social structure, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation unofficially employed the use of racial segregation during the intake process for prison housing. The practice was challenged and eventually overruled in the 2005 Supreme Court decision Johnson v. California, but the State continues to struggle with compliance on multiple fronts.
This thesis examines the history and development of race-based gangs in California in an attempt to understand how to manage the racially segregated world of prisons today. It finds that tensions between the courts, the State, and the inmates are ultimately perpetuated by the continuance of racially segregation policies, and it will ultimately take the political will of Department officials to eliminate race-based gangs and enact cultural change.

Notre optique émerge de l'histoire de l'enfermement carcéral, de la sociologie de la prison, de la sociologie interactionniste de la déviance et de l'approche biographique en sociologie. L'objet consiste à analyser et comprendre les expériences carcérales de celles et de ceux qui traversent les maisons d'arrêt en tant que détenu(e)s. Le travail de terrain est constitué d'une série d'entretiens biographiques non-directifs, réalisés en maison d'arrêt ou avec d'ancien(ne)s détenu(e)s, et d'entretiens semi-directifs effectués avec des membres de l'administration pénitentiaire et autres intervenants du cœur de la détention. Après avoir décrit, depuis la naissance de la prison pour peine à la fin du XVIIIe siècle jusqu'à nos jours, le travail historique de pérennisation des fonctions sociales de l'enfermement carcéral, ainsi que les ressorts de la construction sociale contemporaine de la population carcérale, le dispositif empirique a permis de développer deux volets distincts mais complémentaires. D'abord, une double typologie des rapports à l'enfermement et des trajectoires carcérales de détenu(e)s a permis de comprendre l'inscription d'une détention ou d'une série de détentions dans une biographie. Ensuite, les analyses des modes de gestion du temps carcéral, de la production négociée de l'ordre en détention, enfin de l'impact des différents soutiens extérieurs, matériels et symboliques, sur les conditions de vie intra muros, ont permis d'affiner l'appréhension sociologique de la tension carcérale qui caractérise l'institution aujourd'hui, entre ouverture relative et persistance de son cadre sécuritaire. La volonté de décrire le formidable système de contraintes que constitue l'enfermement carcéral et celle de ne pas réduire pour autant l'acteur reclus au statut d'être réactif à ces contraintes, ont permis d'affiner, puis de décaler, la définition goffmanienne de l'institution totale, point de mire théorique de la recherche.

Full textAbstract:
Education in prisons has been described as the ‘Cinderella Service’ in comparison to other educational contexts. It has only rarely been studied as an educational or criminological issue, with the result that there is limited published research on prison education in the UK. This research into prison education takes a teaching and learning perspective, with a focus on the uniqueness of teaching within a prison context. This study considers if, and how, teachers are prepared for working with prisoners with a diverse range of learning needs within the constraints of a prison environment. The empirical research was based on an interpretive, phenomenological approach which sought to find out the viewpoints and experiences of Heads of Offender Learning from college lead providers, education managers and teachers in prisons and an Ofsted Inspector of Education in prisons. In addition to questionnaires and interviews, observations of teaching sessions provided further insight into the realities of teaching in a prison context. Aspects of critical theory underpinned the approach to champion the cause of prison-based teachers who are largely marginalised by the wider educational community. Findings indicate that although there are many aspects that are beyond the control of teachers in prisons, particularly related to the prison regime, there are some that can be developed by education departments. These include more comprehensive knowledge of prisons, the nature of prisoners as learners, the pastoral role and the development of creative, personalised, collaborative approaches to teaching and learning within meaningful contexts. The thesis provides an overview of current practice and raises issues about the role of teachers in prisons, the training and support they are given, and the implications for future policy and practice.

Full textAbstract:
La politique de coopération au développement représente une part très importante de l'action extérieure de l'Union européenne, ne serait-ce qu'en termes budgétaires. Cette thèse s'interroge sur la manière dont les valeurs inscrites dans les traités européens (démocratie, droits de l'homme et Etat de droit) sont promues par le biais de la coopération au développement. Pour ce faire, le concept de " puissance normative " (Manners, 2002) a été mobilisé comme idéaltype afin d'analyser la façon dont l'Union conduit sa politique de coopération au développement. La politique de coopération au développement est étudiée dans sa dimension globale, à travers l'analyse des méthodes européennes, et dans sa dimension concrète, c'est-à-dire par l'étude des projets de terrain financés par l'UE dans ses pays partenaires. Le cas des projets de soutien à la réforme pénitentiaire a été choisi, afin de comprendre comment se déroule la diffusion des normes sur le terrain, dans un domaine régalien, et dans lequel l'UE ne dispose pas d'une compétence interne. En définitive, l'UE ne dispose pas d'une spécificité normative permettant de la distinguer des autres acteurs du système international en tant que puissance normative. La coopération au développement apparaît subordonnée à la politique extérieure, les préoccupations stratégiques l'emportant alors sur l'objectif de diffusion des normes. Sur le terrain, les projets financés par l'UE répondent à des considérations bureaucratiques portées par les délégations de l'UE. Plus qu'un moyen de diffusion des normes, les projets sont considérés par les agents européens comme un moyen de faire vivre la coopération, quels que soient, au final, leurs résultats. Reste alors l'espace d'échange qu'auront ouvert de tels projets, permettant aux experts étrangers et aux fonctionnaires de l'Etat bénéficiaire de confronter leurs pratiques administratives, et d'envisager, éventuellement, de nouvelles " solutions " d'action publique.

Full textAbstract:
L'objet de cette these est de contribuer a une reflexion sur l'ensemble des formes d'interactions qui se nouent au sein de prisons de femmes, dans le cadre d'une institution contraignante pour les detenues et, dans une moindre mesure, pour les personnels. Une construction ideal-typique met en correspondance des logiques d'attitudes et des formes d'interactions. Pour les detenues, deux logiques d'attitudes a l'egard de la prison sont degagees : le refus ou la participation. Pour les surveillantes, deux attitudes professionnelles sont etablies : un rapport "statutaire" et un rapport "missionnaire". L'etude des relations sociales s'est effectuee a partir d'un travail d'observation dans trois prisons et de la realisation de 142 entretiens avec des detenues, des surveillantes et des professionnels (grades, directeurs, personnel socio-educatif, medical. . . ) quatre formes de relations ont ete degagees : la relation "normee" ou chaque participant respecte son role et fait tout pour reduire les tensions, la relation "negociee" quand les surveillantes acceptent de discuter des arrangements avec des detenues, la relation "conflictuelle" quand la non-reconnaissance mutuelle conduit a la tension permanente et la relation "personnalisee" quand une certaine complicite s'etablit entre femmes detenues et surveillantes. Il ne faut pas negliger non plus les interventions des autres personnels. Leur presence quotidienne modifie les relations entre detenues et surveillantes et permet aux detenues d'accroitre leurs marges de manoeuvreThis thesis deals with the general patterns of iteractions within prisons for women, i. E. , within a constraining institution both for inmates and to a lesser extent for the staff. How they deal with prison is a fundamental issue for inmates who endure an imposed and degrading imprisonment. Form then on, females inmates will react and adjust differently to everyday life in prison. We selected two criteria, namely the relation to offence and the relation to the prison experence. We then put forward two attitudes : rejection or participation. As for female guards, two different professional attitudes are to be mentionned : an "statutory" attitude which privileges security and detachment and an "missionary" attitude which privileges involvement. This study is based on the observations conducted in three prisons and on 142 interviews with inmates, guards and other staff (directors, officers, social workers, medical staff. . . ) we brought out four types of relationships 1- the "normed" relation where each one involved respects his role. 2- the "negociated" relation when guards are ready to negociate mutual agreements with inmates. 3- the "conflictual" relation when the non-respect of the others leads to a constant state of tension. 4- the "personnalized" relation when mutual understanding sets between the female inmates and guards. The everyday presence of the other members of the staff changes the relationship between inmates and guards, by increasing the room of maneuver

Prisons have been a both a curiosity and an interest of mine at various times in my life. On occasions in my childhood I drove with my parents past the prison at Long Bay, in Sydney, New South Wales. It was a frightening, but fascinating place. My gaze was fixed on the grounds of the prison, both hoping and fearing to sight an escapee. Later, as a tertiary social work student with an interest in the concept of social control, my thoughts were sometimes focused on the prison. However, it was not until the early part of 1993 that I actually entered a prison. I was then in the final year of my ordinand studies. I had elected, in one of the Field Education components of my studies, to spend time in the Chaplaincy Department of the Long Bay prison in Sydney. The experience was a very significant one in that it was to raise difficult, but fascinating questions for me about the role of religion and the clergy in the prison. During my placement at Long Bay I observed much which strongly suggested that religion and the clergy (chaplains) occupy a peripheral place in the prison system. I was also puzzled by the role of the chaplains, and here I refer to the Protestant chaplains, the only chaplains with whom I had contact. From the perspective of one trained in both social work and theology, it seemed to me that the chaplains were performing many of the same tasks, which one would expect to be performed by the prison welfare staff. In fact it was with difficulty that I could identify anything distinctively 'religious' in the role of the chaplain who, it seemed to me, functioned as something of a quasi welfare professional. It was also very apparent to me that the chaplains had a low profile in the prison; at Long Bay even the chaplaincy offices were outside the prison walls. The chaplains were like exiles, an image which stayed with me long after my placement in the prison had ended. These observations presented a stark contrast to the centrality of religion and the chaplain in the penitentiary, the fledgling prison of the nineteenth century. The chapels in the contemporary prisons, some of which I had seen photographs of, were curiosities. The very prominence and size of the chapel in many of the prisons, both in New South Wales and Britain, many of which were built in the nineteenth century, symbolised the decline of religion from its position of centrality. Religion's function in the contemporary operations and theoretical underpinnings of the prison is marginal by comparison with the penitentiary. The prison chapel is now curiously anachronistic, being used extensively for secular purposes, such as the screening of movies, the holding of various meetings, and sometimes for sports. The liturgical and sacramental functions to which the chapels were dedicated are all but absent, at least for the Protestant chaplains.

In view of the vast numbers of individuals with co-occurring mental health and substance use disorders within the offender population, the scarcity of research on the potential exacerbating effects of co-occurring disorders on prisoner misconduct is surprising. With a sample of 1,470 incarcerated women offenders in Pennsylvania, this study examined prisoner misconduct among four distinct groups: 1) inmates with co-occurring disorders, 2) those with mental illness only, 3) inmates with substance use disorders only, and 4) prisoners with no mental health or substance use disorders net the effects of other factors demonstrated in prior studies to influence institutional misconduct. Results suggested that female prisoners with mental health and co-occurring disorders were significantly more likely than those with no disorders to be charged with prison misconduct . Co-occurring disorder inmates were also more likely to be charged with both minor and serious misconduct compared to inmates with no disorders. The results of this study suggest that menttal health and co-occurring disorders may hinder the ability of some female offenders to successfully assimilate to the prison environment as evidenced by higher rates of institutional misbehavior. Practice and policy implications are discussed

The purpose of this project was to empower the incarcerated women at the Jefferson Correctional Institution in Monticello, Florida, through the use of a faith-based program, 'Empowered to Endure Hardship.' The project consisted of sixteen (16) consecutive weeks of group participation, involving 75 women who were divided into two groups. Group A, the target group, consisted of 45 women who completed the questionnaires and participated in all of the group sessions and activities. Group B, the control group, consisted of 30 women who only completed the questionnaires.
The sessions in which the target group participated included video and audio preaching tapes, live preaching, group interaction and discussions, prayer and a short devotional period at each session. All of the sermons contained one common thread: How to overcome or endure hardships in life. Practical examples were given for endurance and overcoming techniques were demonstrated.
The overall hypothesis was as a result of Group A's participation in an organized structured group, the participants would receive fewer disciplinary reports, corrective counseling reports, and confinement visitations than those in Group B. While this goal was attained by Group A, there was not enough significant difference in Group B to merit any real attention. This does not mean the project was a failure. For in the ensuing weeks after the project was completed, the members of Group B continued to ask that another group be formed in which they could participate to receive the same empowerment that Group A had received.
This model of ministry for the women at Jefferson Correctional Institution is ongoing and allows for additional components of ministry as future needs arise.

Full textAbstract:
L’intégration de la médecine traditionnelle à Madagascar, dans le cadre d’une politique d’Etat soumise à la demande de l’OMS et aux pressions internationales, suscite de nombreux enjeux et modifie l’articulation entre toute une série de pouvoirs et les savoirs locaux. L’analyse des politiques relatives à la médecine traditionnelle révèle, à plusieurs niveaux de gouvernementalité, les mécanismes de coopération et de concurrence entre les pays du Sud et ceux du Nord, entre les institutions publiques et les laboratoires privés, induits par les intérêts pharmaceutiques des pharmacopées locales. Dans le système national de santé, l’introduction d’une spécialité en médecine traditionnelle et des médicaments à base de plantes enregistrés par l’Agence de Madagascar induisent des processus de réinvention de la médecine traditionnelle et des luttes de légitimité entre les praticiens pour la conquête d’un nouveau monopole professionnel. Sous l’effet du christianisme, d’un commerce mondialisé et de la présence des étrangers, l’industrialisation de la filière économique des plantes et la professionnalisation des paysans modifient les rapports de l’homme à son environnement et s’accompagnent d’adaptations rituelles. À partir des concepts de « stratégie » et de « tactique » de Michel De Certeau, ce travail analyse le changement social et le rapport à la mondialisation en mettant en lumière l’écart entre ce qui doit se faire et ce qui se fait effectivementIn the island of Madagascar, the integration of traditional medicine, as part of State politics submitted to the OMS requirements and international pressure, raises numbers of interests and modifies the links between a whole range of powers and the local knowledges. The analysis concerning traditional medicines policy reveals, on several levels of governmentality, the mechanisms of cooperation and competition between countries of the South and of the North, also between public institutions and private laboratories, thus induced by the pharmaceutical interests of local pharmacopeia. In the national health system, the introduction of a speciality in traditional medicine and herbal medicinal products registered by the Agency of Madagascar induces processes of reinvention of traditional medicine and struggles for legitimacy between practitioners for the conquest of a new professional monopoly. Under the influence of christianism, of a globalised trade and of the presence of foreigners, industrialization in the economic sector of plants and the professionalization of farmers change the relationships between man and his environment and come with ritual adaptations. Starting from Michel De Certeau's concepts of «strategy»and «tactics», this work analyzes social change and the links with globalisation by bringing to light the gap between what must be done and what is actually being done

Petitgas, Bernard. "Engagement relationnel et bénévolat en milieu carcéral : du don et de la reconnaissance en institution totalisante." Thesis, Normandie, 2017. http://www.theses.fr/2017NORMC011/document.
Full textAbstract:
L’institution totalisante, en tant qu’institution close sur elle-même, hermétique au monde n’existe pas, ni dans l’absolu ni comme idéal type auquel serait comparé, par exemple, l’institution pénitentiaire. Il existe toujours des interfaces humaines, matérielles et temporelles entre les différents espaces sociaux fussent-elles délimitées par des murs et des barbelés. Il convient pour aborder l’univers carcéral, celui dans lequel nous portons notre étude tout en y étant détenu, de parler plutôt d’institution totalisante où se joue continuellement un conflit entre rationalité formelle et matérielle, mais aussi un conflit aux dimensions puissantes de socialisation, de reconfiguration des comportements et de subjectivation des vécus. Notre centre de détention présente un exemple de ce conflit entre un univers répressif normalisé et sécuritaire, et un autre empli de stratégies pragmatiques de survie ou de resocialisation. La complexité qui en résulte est à l’image de la société elle-même et du rapport permanent des individus à leurs institutions.Enrichi par nos précédentes recherches, notre présent travail tente d’aborder deux importants aspects que sont le paradigme du don et la théorie de la reconnaissance, et de les articuler avec l’engagement bénévole en détention. Avant tout, nous voulons démontrer que beaucoup d’aspects du paradigme du don et de la théorie de la reconnaissance sont aussi et déjà présents en contexte d’incarcération. Mais ces aspects présentent la particularité de maintenir la vie de l’institution totalisante en circuit fermé, c’est-à-dire sur elle-même.Le paradigme du don à travers le bénévolat amène à repenser l’espace carcéral comme un espace de socialisation à part entière et éminemment en interaction avec l’extérieur. C’est parce qu’elle est en constante relation avec la société que l’institution totalisante a besoin du bénévolat pour que cette relation, prise dans le paradigme du don, fasse des détenus les responsables mêmes de leurs échanges avec l’extérieur. Dès lors, en termes de rationalisation, entendue comme sens donné par les acteurs à leurs actions et à leurs recherches de liens, les visées sont à la fois pragmatiques, utilitaristes, et altruistes, les détenus s’y redéfinissant dans le cadre de la réciprocité, du rendu et de l’offre, plutôt que de la dette, la stigmatisation et la punition.Le lien social est la base du bénévolat/don. Il est bénéfique à tous en termes de réinsertion et de lutte contre le stigmate pour certains, de place dans le jeu du social pour d’autres. Dans un cadre « d’endettement mutuel positif », c’est bien la socialisation qui s’exprimeThe “Total Institution”, as a body closed in on itself, isolated from the outside world, does not exist, either as an absolute or as a standard ideal to which, for instance, the penal institution would be compared. There are always human, material and temporal interfaces between the different social spaces, even though they are delimited by walls and barbed wire. In order to understand the prison world, the one in which we are detained and on which we focus our research, the term “all-encompassing” institution is best suited insofar as permanent conflict takes place between formal and material rationalities, along with a powerful conflict of socialization and a reconfiguration of the behaviours and subjectivities of the actors. Our detention center provides an example of these conflicts between a normalized and repressive universe and another, filled with pragmatic strategies of survival or re-socialization. The complexity that results is the same as the one we can find in the entire society and in the permanent relation between individuals and their institutions.Enriched by ours previous research, this study endeavours to tackle two important questions: Gift Paradigm and the Theory of Recognition, and to link them up with the theme of voluntary work in prisons. First of all, we want to show that many aspects of the Gift Paradigm and of the Theory of Recognition are also to be found in jail. But these aspects have one particular consequence: they maintain the life of the institution closed on itself.The Gift Paradigm, through benevolent commitment, leads to the reconsideration of the prison space as a space of fully-fledged socialization and of eminent interaction with the outside world. It is precisely because it is in constant relation with society that the “all-encompassing” institution requires voluntary work and voluntary commitment. Within the benevolent relational act, as it is viewed in the Gift Paradigm framework, the convicts are in the situation of being responsible for their exchanges with the outside world. Then, in terms of rationalization, seen as a meaning given by the actors to their actions and to their needs of relationships, the aims are at the same time pragmatic, utilitarian, and altruistic. The convicts redefine themselves within the scope of reciprocity, return and offer, rather than that of debt, stigmatization and punishment.The social link is at the basis of the “voluntary/gift”. It is beneficial to all prisoners in terms of reinsertion, and in terms of struggle against stigma for some of their role in society (outside mercantile or professional roles) for others. In the same way it is beneficial to the volunteers. In a case of “positive mutual indebting”, it is socialization itself that is expressed

Cette recherche porte sur la formation professionnelle pour l’apprentissage d’un métier en milieu carcéral et sur ce qui empêche ou, au contraire, favorise la diffusion des connaissances dans ce lieu de formation inhabituel. La recherche s’appuie sur le cadre de la théorie anthropologique du didactique et plus particulièrement sur la notion de rapports institutionnels et personnels. Nous examinons à travers des données socio-économiques et des textes de loi l’influence des rapports à la prison et aux personnes détenues sur la formation professionnelle puis, au sein de certains établissements pénitentiaires, la nature des conditions et des contraintes qui gouvernent le fonctionnement des systèmes didactiques. L’issue de ce travail, dont la méthodologie s’appuie sur une enquête par entretiens et par questionnaire, témoigne de l’incongruité de vouloir reproduire en prison ce qui se passe dans le monde libre et invite à repenser l’organisation didactique de la formation professionnelle afin que celle-ci soit plus efficace au regard de la mission de réinsertion de la prison à laquelle elle concoureThis research concerns vocational training in a penitentiary context and what both prevents and promotes the diffusion of knowledge in this unusual training facility. The research is based on the framework of the anthropological theory of didactics and more particularly on the notion of institutional and personal relations. We examine, through socioeconomic data and legal texts, the influence of relations with prisons and prisoners on vocational training and, in some prisons, the nature of the conditions and constraints that drive the functioning of educational systems. The results of the research based on an interview survey as well as a questionnaire survey, reveals the incongruity of attempting to reproduce in prison what is happening in the free environment and invites us to rethink the didactic organization of vocational training so that it is more effective in terms of the prison's reintegration mission to which it contributes

Full textAbstract:
There is a higher rate of recidivism for U.S. veterans compared to the general population of offenders. To address the unique needs of veterans, separate housing units for veterans (VSUs) are now operating within correctional facilities in 29 U.S. states. Despite reports that VSUs are having a positive impact on recidivism, little is known of the experiences of correctional administrators who have implemented a VSU. The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study was to explore the lived experiences of several individuals who have implemented a VSU in their correctional facility. Guided by the quality implementation framework (QIF), data collected through semistructured interviews conducted with 7 U.S. correctional administrators were analyzed by reducing the information to significant statements, when combined into themes provided a descriptive analysis. Results from this study affirm that implementing a VSU is a feasible option for many correctional administrators with the desire to address the needs of veteran offenders. Key findings indicate most steps taken to implement a VSU align with quality implementation. Additional results indicate that presently there may be less consideration for VSU implementation processes associated with quality in the areas of ensuring staff training to work with the veterans, and in conducting process evaluations including outcomes tracking. VSUs have a profound and nearly immediate, effect on veteran inmate behaviors and reducing recidivism. This examination of the phenomenon of VSU implementation may offer implementers with evidenced-based practices to advance understanding of VSU implementation in the future, ultimately to benefit veteran offenders and the communities in which they reintegrate.

Full textAbstract:
The Indiana institutions are bursting at the seams. It has become necessary for local communities to keep nonviolent offenders in county jails or place them on probation. Correctional caseworkers are responsible for providing counseling to a significant number of juvenile and adult offenders; therefore, it is necessary that counselors in the criminal justice system examine any significant interpersonal behavior patterns of offenders.The purpose of the research was to identify the unique interpersonal needs behavior pattern of inmates incarcerated in an adult detention center and the ways in which these needs change from the point of initial incarceration. The ways in which the interpersonal needs of inmates deviate from and are similar to those of the general population also were identified. William C. Schutz's Fundamental Interpersonal Relations orientation--Behavior, was the testing instrument used for pre and post-testing of inmates.Chapter One justifies the study and previews the need for a study of this nature. Chapter Two is a review of existing literature which explores both advocates and detractors of Schutz's FIRO-B theory. Chapter Three discusses the method, subjects, testing site, testing procedures and testing instrument used in this research. Chapter Four incorporates results of the tests and discusses the inmate profiles developed through this research. Chapter Five summarizes the research, discusses possible Programs to be utilized by criminal justice practitioners, and makes recommendations for future research and application of FIRO-B.Department of Speech Communication
