INTRODUCTION: MAKING THE CASE FOR AN INTERNATIONAL PRISON Where do individuals sentenced by an international criminal court go to serve their sentence? The answer is: “it depends.” It depends on which international tribunal convicted the individual, which states have entered a cooperation agreement to enforce sentences with the particular tribunal, and which state the tribunal believes provides the best fit for that particular individual.1 Because there is currently no international prison or single location to enforce the criminal sentences imposed by international tribunals,2 where a convict serves their sentence is of constant uncertainty. There have been many advancements in international criminal law within the past three decades, including the development of ad hoc tribunals to try those accused of war crimes or crimes against humanity.3 The ad hoc tribunals have 1.

A mere eight states have entered sentencing enforcement agreements with the ICC, none within the past three years.9 This deficiency, while not currently posing an impediment to justice, will likely become a problem once the ICC moves beyond a handful of convictions.10 The Assembly of States Parties to the ICC specifically addressed the lack of cooperating states

  • The Human Factor in Prison Design: Contrasting Prison Architecture in the United States and Scandinavia
    The Human Factor in Prison Design: Contrasting Prison Architecture in the United States and Scandinavia Prison design is a controversial topic in the field of architecture. The “all- seeing” Panopticon prison of the eighteenth century introduced by British social reformer Jeremy Bentham brought academic attention to the issue of prison design. Two centuries later, French philosopher and social theorist Michel Foucault used the Panopticon as a metaphor for society and its power to control beyond the physical. MEGAN FOWLER In the United States, there are two penal and prison systems -- the Pennsylvania Iowa State University System and the Auburn System. The Pennsylvania penitentiary system was influ- enced by the idea of penitence; solitude was thought to serve as punishment as well as giving time for reflection and contrition. The prison designs often recall the Panopticon with centralized configurations. The opposing system is known as the Auburn System, after the eponymous facility in New York, where impris- onment was punishment instead of a chance for reformation. It was at Auburn where the core idea of total surveillance from Bentham’s Panopticon became a reality. The Auburn system and corresponding architecture have been described as “machine-like” where prisoners are kept in tiny cells under total control. Since the 19th century, the Auburn System has predominated prison design and theory in the United States.1 In American society today some resist involving architects in creating prison facilities. “Architecture” for these buildings is discouraged.2 The environments in American prisons create opportunities for violence, tension, and hostility in inmates.3 Even employees in American prisons have been found to have a higher risk of various stress-related health issues.4 In 2013, Pelican Bay super- max prison, with its “8x10-foot, soundproof, poured-concrete cells with remote controlled doors and no windows,” provoked hunger strikes across California in solidarity for the appalling living conditions.

  • Prisons in the United States: a Need for Reform and Educational Rehabilitation
    Merrimack College Merrimack ScholarWorks Social Justice Student Work Social Justice Spring 2019 Prisons in the United States: A need for reform and educational rehabilitation Amanda Alcox Follow this and additional works at: https://scholarworks.merrimack.edu/sj_studentpub Part of the Criminology and Criminal Justice Commons, and the Social Justice Commons Running Head: PRISONS IN THE UNITED STATES Prisons in the United States: A need for reform and educational rehabilitation Amanda Alcox Merrimack College SOJ 4900 Professor Mark Allman PRISONS IN THE UNITED STATES 2 Abstract: The American criminal justice system holds almost 2.3 million people in 1,719 state prisons, 102 federal prisons, 1,852 juvenile correctional facilities, 3,163 local jails, and 80 Indian Country jails as well as in military prisons, immigration detention facilities, civil commitment centers, state psychiatric hospitals, and prisons in the U.S. territories. The United States has the highest incarceration rate in the world. Ex-convicts express that transitioning back into society, as well as finding employers willing to hire former inmates, is a difficult task. In this capstone, we will look at prison reform from the 1800s-to-today, we will determine which roles retributive and restorative justice play in our criminal justice system, we will recognize the current implications of our current correctional system, we will engage in statistics regarding employment and homelessness rates, we will reminisce on personal experiences as an intern in a correctional facility, and lastly, we will look into programming, educational services, and professional development opportunities for inmates while serving their sentences. To understand social justice ideals, it is necessary to recognize that our nation consists of various structures, policies, and practices that either help or harm the human population.

As there is very little written material or research in this area, the authors of the report have, in addition to searching the literature in the normal way, made informal contact with a wide range of professionals and practitioners working in the field of Restorative Justice. The short timescale has meant that there is still material yet to arrive. Nevertheless a good range of information has been gathered. As part of this research, the authors undertook two surveys in April 1999, one of victim/offender mediation services’ involvement with offenders in custody, one of custodial institutions reported to be undertaking Restorative Justice initiatives. Restorative Justice We have used as a starting point a definition of restorative justice by the R.J.W.G. of Northern Ireland: “Using a Restorative Justice model within the Criminal Justice System is embarking on a process of settlement in which: victims are key participants, offenders must accept responsibility for their actions and members of the communities (victims and offenders) are involved in seeking a healing process which includes restitution and restoration." Community Service The Prison Phoenix Trust carried out two surveys of community work and projects carried out by prison establishments, in 1996 and 1998.

Key Words 35 PREAMBLE Education in India has always been given importance. The need to continuously improve the quality of the education system, in keeping with globalization and modern technological trends, is high on India’s development agenda. Imparting quality higher education is of prime concern for educationalists, visionaries and policymakers. An improvement in the quality of higher education is critical in bringing about the effective participation of young people in the development of knowledge by building an inter-medial knowledge base. Additionally, revamping national competitiveness in a globalized world and equipping India’s young with relevant skills, opportunities and fostering social mobility play a crucial role in the country’s economic development. Sustained initiatives are required to institutionalize an outcome-oriented higher education system and boost the employability of graduates through a holistic curriculum redesign that is founded on a learning outcomes-based curriculum framework. A comprehensive upgrade of academic resources and learning environment will raise the quality of teaching and research across all higher education institutions.

  • Rehabilitation and Recidivism: Evidence from an Open Prison∗
    Rehabilitation and Recidivism: Evidence from an Open Prison∗ Giovanni Mastrobuoni†and Daniele Terlizzese‡ September 2014 Abstract We use quasi-random variation in the fraction of time served in the Italian “open prison” of Bollate to estimate the effect of rehabilitation efforts on recidivism. We deal with the endogeneity of rehabilitation assignments by focussing on those sources of variability in the length of exposure to rehabilitation efforts that are plausibly unrelated to recidivism. Our most stringent test restricts the analysis to inmates who, due to overcrowding in nearby prisons, are displaced to Bollate controlling for observed and unobserved measures of potential selection. Spending one more year at the rehabilitating prison (and one less year at an ordinary one) reduces recidivism by between 10 and 15 percentage points (from a mean recidivism of about 40 percent). For the group of displaced inmates, which is shown to be negatively selected, the effects of rehabilitation efforts on recidivism are larger. While we find evidence that over time Bollate inmates become more likely to work outside the prison, more than a single mechanism seem to underly these effects. Keywords: Crime, Prison Conditions, Rehabilitation ∗We would like to thank the Italian Ministry of Justice, the Italian Prison Adminstration (Dipartimento di Amministrazione Penitenziaria), and the people at Bollate Prison for invaluable discussions about the rules governing the prisons and for providing the data. We thank in particular Roberto Bezzi, Francesco Cascini, Lucia Castellano, Emiliano D’Antoni, Anna Fino, Luigi Palmiero, Paola Severino, Giovanni Tamburino and Francesca Valenzi. The idea of working on the Bollate’s experience grew out of many passionate conversations with Donatella Stasio, who was also instrumental in obtaining the data.
