Si la prison fait beaucoup parler d’elle, ses caractéristiques sont trop souvent connues par les données négatives qu’elle reflète. Révélées par de multiples facteurs dont le surpeuplement pénitentiaire, les violences carcérales ou encore la santé fragile des détenus (etc.), les problématiques de la prison remettent en question sa capacité à remplir ses missions de garde et d’accompagnement de la personne détenue. Dans ces conditions, la notion de réinsertion de l’individu incarcéré pourrait être largement compromise. Le sujet de cette thèse est loin d’être anodin : c’est précisément de ces difficultés que semble se nourrir le débat pénitentiaire. Ce sont, en effet, autant d’éléments qui font barrage à l’efficacité de notre réponse pénitentiaire mais qui donnent raison aux préconisations et impératifs européens d’humanisation des prisons. Encouragé par le droit supranational du Conseil de l’Europe, notre droit tiraillé entre deux perceptions sécuritaire et humaniste, se tourne vers d’autres solutions pour satisfaire à la qualité opérante de la politique pénale. Il faut donc faire le constat de l’avancée majeure de la probation, laquelle concurrence la sanction strictement pénitentiaire. Indéniablement, et parce que la peine de prison demeure, toutefois, la peine la plus élevée sur l’échelle de gravité des peines, des réflexions efficaces sont devenues indispensables pour guérir les maux du droit pénitentiaire. Cette thèse permet alors d’analyser la signification, en matière pénitentiaire, du terme « réforme » et souscrit ainsi à la réflexion d’une nouvelle structure émancipatrice du droit de l’exécution de la peine singulière que représente la peine privative de liberté. / If prisons have been under discussion, they all too often find themselves in the public eye as a result of their negative image. Revealed through multiple factors such as overcrowding, violence and poor inmate health, the inherent problems of the prison system cast doubt on its capacity to fulfill its mission of both detention and prisoner support. Under such conditions, rehabilitation of the person incarcerated has little chance of success. The subject of this thesis is therefore by no means insignificant: such difficulties are precisely what appear to feed the prison debate. These are all elements which hamper efforts to find an effective prison solution but which justify European recommendations and imperatives on prison humanization. Encouraged by Council of Europe supranational law and torn between security and humanitarian issues, our domestic law has had to seek alternative solutions to satisfy the functional requirements of penal policy. The major advance provided by probation should be noted here, as opposed to strictly custodial sentencing. Undeniably, however, as prison remains the highest sanction on the sentencing scale, effective reflection is now essential if we are to remedy the wrongs of a scattered and ephemeral prison law. This thesis is therefore designed to analyze the meaning, in penitentiary matters, of the term “reform” and thus reflect on a new emancipatory approach to enforcement law with regard to the singular difficulty of the custodial sentence.

This study was undertaken to better understand inmate concerns of the prison environment across 8 dimensions. The 8 dimensions examined in this study were activity, emotional feedback, freedom, privacy, safety, social, structure, and support. To determine the importance of these dimensions among inmates, secondary data were used in an attempt to replicate and validate the findings from Wright's (1985) study which used a prison environment inventory instrument to assess inmate concerns. The secondary data consisted of an inmate sample of 1,054 taken from 30 prisons of minimum, medium, maximum and close security across the states of Tennessee, Kentucky, and Ohio. Principal component analysis did not support Wright's findings of 8 dimensions but indicated that safety was the primary dimension of concern. Confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modeling did find support for Wright's thesis.

No. of bitstreams: 1 ELIANA OLIVEIRA PEDREIRA LIMA.pdf: 820097 bytes, checksum: fc27bd7fdbcf9e6a0cad1aed0f04add4 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2013-06-05 / Coordenação de Aperfeiçoamento de Pessoal de Nível Superior - CAPES / Understand how to process the relations in everyday life of prison and evaluate the situation of health care in the detainee CDP São Vicente/SP was the main objective of this study aimed to ascertain the specific living conditions of detainees in the town of São Vicente/SP; see how they detect diseases before and during incarceration in the town of São Vicente/SP; know the actions taken by health professionals and ways to treat diseases of the detainees; identify which inmates' complaints of CDP São Vicente/SP in relation to health care of the detainee. This is qualitative research conducted in Provisional Detention Center Dr. Luis Cesar Lacerda de São Vicente, São Paulo, and ten prisoners as subjects and a health care professional who works in the prison unit. With detainees, the instrument used was a semi-structured interview and the professional, open interview with script. Data collection occurred during the months from July to December 2011. The results revealed that the profile of inmates does not differ from that found in other studies. Of the ten inmates, four are in the range of 20 to 30 and the remaining six between 31 and 40 years. The low education level was confirmed, as two did not complete primary school and eight complete elementary school. Regarding marital status, three singles and seven are married. Regarding the number of children, three prisoners have no son, four even has two sons, two of three to four children and only one inmate have five or more children. The color self-declared also confirmed, with browns and blacks add nine prisoners and one white. Seven inmates are from Baixada Santista and three from other cities in the state of São Paulo. Seven primary and three are repeat offenders, and still, eight and two regularly receive visits any visit. A professional is female, 50 years old and worked for nine years and six months in SAP, throughout this period in the town of São Vicente. The analysis of data was based on two main themes: life in prison and the inmate health care. The everyday prison is marked by idleness, power relationships and coping strategies. In health care the inmate was found that prisoners are assisted minimally, because there is a shortage of health professionals, such as doctors and nurses, and the distribution of drugs is only regulate when it comes to TB, HIV and mental illness. In other cases, there is delay in treatment and medication from the prison unit and are usually family members who bring drugs. With regard to food, this is general dissatisfaction, although it is an important component to maintaining health. The research sought to show a clip from the reality experienced by prisoners regarding health care in the town of São Vicente. / Compreender como se processam as relações na vida cotidiana do cárcere e avaliar a situação da atenção à saúde do detento no CDP de São Vicente/SP foi o principal objetivo desse estudo que teve como objetivos específicos conhecer as condições de vida dos detentos no CDP de São Vicente/SP; verificar como se detectam as doenças antes e durante o processo do encarceramento no CDP de São Vicente/SP; conhecer as ações desenvolvidas pelos profissionais de saúde e formas de tratamento das doenças dos detentos; Identificar quais as queixas dos detentos do CDP de São Vicente/SP em relação à atenção à saúde do detento. Trata-se de pesquisa qualitativa realizada no Centro de Detenção Provisória Dr. Luiz Cesar Lacerda de São Vicente, São Paulo, tendo como sujeitos dez presos e uma profissional da área da saúde que atua na unidade prisional. Com os detentos e com a profissional de saúde, o instrumento utilizado foi a entrevista semiestruturada. A coleta de dados ocorreu durante os meses de julho a dezembro de 2011. Os resultados revelaram que o perfil dos detentos não difere do encontrado em outros estudos. Dos dez detentos, quatro estão na faixa dos 20 aos 30 e os seis restantes entre 31 e 40 anos. A baixa escolaridade foi confirmada, pois dois não concluíram o ensino fundamental e oito completaram o ensino fundamental. Quanto ao estado civil, três são solteiros e sete casados. No que diz respeito ao número de filhos, três presos não tem filho, quatro tem até dois filhos, dois de três a quatro filhos e apenas um detento têm cinco ou mais filhos. A cor auto-declarada também se confirmou, sendo que pardos e negros somam nove presos e apenas um branco. Sete detentos são da Baixada Santista e três oriundos de outras cidades do Estado de São Paulo. Sete são reincidentes e três primários, e ainda, oito recebem visitas regularmente e dois nenhum tipo de visita. A profissional é do gênero feminino, 50 anos de idade e, trabalha há nove anos e seis meses na SAP, todo esse período no CDP de São Vicente. A análise dos dados se deu a partir de dois eixos temáticos: a vida no cárcere e atenção à saúde do detento. O cotidiano prisional é marcado pela ociosidade, relações de poder e estratégias de sobrevivência. Na atenção à saúde do detento foi constatado que os presos são minimamente assistidos, pois há falta de profissionais de saúde, como, médico e enfermeiro e, a distribuição de medicamentos só é regular quando se refere à Tuberculose, doenças mentais e HIV. Nos demais casos, há demora no atendimento e medicação por parte da unidade prisional e geralmente são os familiares que trazem os medicamentos. No tocante à alimentação, essa constitui insatisfação geral, embora seja um componente importante para a manutenção da saúde. A pesquisa buscou evidenciar um recorte da realidade vivida pelos presos quanto à atenção à saúde no CDP de São Vicente.

The paper analyzes the rise of get-tough crime legislation to the American public policy agenda and examines the effects of these policies on crime and inmate populations. Get-tough policies analyzed include sentencing reform, the War on Drugs and collateral consequences. Because there is no empirical literature on the effect of collateral consequences on crime, the paper employed an OLS regression model partly derived from institutional anomie theory to test for criminogenic effects. The study then employed OLS regression analysis to determine the affect of these independent variables on crime rates in each of the 50 states. The study concluded that state policies hindering the ability of offenders to find employment have a significant and positive impact on crime. According to the model, the most significant factors affecting crime rates are urban density, high school drop-out rates, a state's population of blacks, non-economic institutions, and policy barriers to offender employment. The research suggests that policy makers should reduce ecomomic barriers to reentry, particularly those barriers focused on employment, to improve public safety.

Att göra bedömningar av risk för våld hos frihetsberövade personer på fängelser och i olika former av tvångsvård är en viktig del av arbetet med att reducera antalet våldsincidenter, vilket är till nytta både för frihetsberövade personer och för personalens arbetsmiljö. Syftet med denna studie är att göra en kunskapsöversikt över vad forskningen säger om att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade personer, beskriva aktuell forskning om riskbedömningar, hur strukturerade instrument för riskbedömningar definierar våld, vilka teoretiska utgångspunkter till uppkomst av våld som används och i vilken utsträckning riskbedömningsinstrument tar hänsyn till interaktion mellan personal och frihetsberövade personer. Studien genomförs igenom en litteraturstudie med en innehållsanalys av forskning på området utifrån frågeställningarna i syftet. Sökorden är ”inmate”, ”inpatient”, ”violence”, ”risk”, ”assessment”, ”juvenile” och ”youth”. Reslutatet av studien visar att det finns ett flertal instrument som som forskningen visar har god validitet och även inter-bedömarreliabilitet för att bedöma risk för våld, nämligen Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC), Historical-Clinical-Risk management-20(HCR-20), Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Agression (DASA) och Structured Assessment of Violencerisk in Youth(SAVRY). Utöver detta finns även några bedömningsinstrument som använder enbart statiska variabler för att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade, även kallade aktuariska modeller. Forskning visar generellt att föränderliga, dynamiska variabler som snabbare förändras har starkare prediktiv validitet för att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade på kort sikt, än historiska och statiska data. BVC och DASA tar större hänsyn till interaktionen mellan frihetsberövad och personal för att bedöma risk än HCR-20 och SAVRY, som inte är primärt konstruerade för att bedöma risk för våld i ett omedelbart kort perspektiv. Resultatet diskuteras utifrån studiens styrkor och svagheter och etiska problem med att bedöma risk för våld hos frihetsberövade. Syftet med olika typer av frihetsberövande och olika kategorier frihetsberövade personer som har olika behov, gör att resultaten inte utan reflektion kan överföras från en grupp till en annan. Etiska överväganden blir aktuella utifrån att informationen som framkommer vid en riskbedömning kan leda till repressiva interventioner, och att detta långt ifrån alltid är något önskvärt. / Assessing risk for violence among incarcerated people in prisons, in inpatient settings and otherwise, is an important part of the work aimed at reducing the number of violent encounters in these settings. Reducing violence is beneficial for both incarcerated persons and for the staffs work environment. The purpose of this thesis is to make a review of research of how to assess risk for violence among incarcerated people in different settings, describe research about the assessment methods, how these methods define ‘violence’ and what theoretical explanations to violence that are used. Furthermore, what level of consideration for the interaction between staff and incarcerated people is taken when assessing risk for violence. The thesis is performed by searching for, and analyzing written material with the questions asked in the purpose of the study. The following words are used for search in databases: “inmate”, “inpatient”, “violence”, “risk”, “assessment”, “juvenile” and “youth”. The findings in the study gives that there are models for assessing violence, with research-proven validity and mostly also interrater-reliability, namely: Brøset Violence Checklist (BVC), Historical-Clinical-Risk management-20(HCR-20), Dynamic Appraisal of Situational Aggression (DASA) and Structured Assessment of Violence Risk in Youth (SAVRY). Aside from these findings there are also some models using only static variables to assess risk for violence among incarcerated, also known as “actuarial” models. Generally, the research shows that more dynamic variables that are prone to change, has stronger validity in predicting violence among incarcerated than historical, static data. The BVC and the DASA takes greater consideration to interaction between staff and incarcerated than the HCR-20 and the SAVRY, that is not primarily constructed to assess risk for violence in forensic/caregiving settings in the immediate short term. The result is discussed on basis of the strengths and weaknesses of the thesis, as well as ethical problems with assessing risk for violence among people that have been deprived of their freedom. The purpose of different kinds of incarcerations and different categories of incarcerated people that have different needs, may cause need for the results to be carefully considered- What does apply in one setting may not be true in another. From an ethical point of view, it is to be taken into consideration how the information from violence risk assessments is used, since punitive and repressing interventions often is far from desired.

This thesis deals with convicted women´s attitude towards books, reading and literature. The goal of this thesis was to find out what kind of relation have chosen inmate women in prison in Světlá nad Sázavou towards literature and books. We also asked and responded the question, if insufficient or missing reading habits could be predictable factor of criminal behavior, because we think that insufficient reading habits and possibility to commit a crime could be somehow connected.

Syftet med denna studie var att få insikt i före detta intagnas upplevelse av sitt fängelsestraff samt sin återgång till det fria samhället. För att besvara studiens frågeställningar som lydde; hur påverkas individen av sitt fängelsestraff och hur har individen återanpassats i samhället efter fängelsevistelsen, delades resultatet upp i två avsnitt som rör tiden i fängelset och tiden efter fängelset. Urvalet bestod av sex män som har avtjänat ett fängelsestraff i Sverige, de var mellan 25-60 år. Data samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer. Resultatet visar att fängelsestraff påverkar individerna både psykiskt och fysiskt på ett negativt vis. Resultatet visar även att individens inre motivation är av stor vikt när det gäller återanpassning till samhället. För att återanpassning ska ske på ett tillfredsställande vis är det av vikt att samhällsstödet erbjuds i rätt tid. / This study aimed to get insight in former inmates’ experiences, about their imprisonment and their re-entry into the free society. To answer the aim, the following questions were formulated; how does imprisonment affect the individual and how has the individual re-entered the society after imprisonment. The studies result was divided in two larger themes that concerned the time in prison and the time after. The selection for the study was six men that have been imprisoned in Sweden; they were between 25-60 years. Data was collected through semistructured interviews. The results show that imprisonment affect the individual in a negative way, both physical and psychological. The results also show that individuals inner motivation is very important when they re-entry the society and social support needs to be available to the former inmates in the right time.

Ce travail, intitulé La peine et le soin : une enquête sur l’espace et le temps des malades en prison, analyse le sens de la peine sous le prisme du soin. L’enquête explore différents mondes juxtaposés : de la peine, du soin et de l’environnement personnel du détenu. À partir d’un ancrage empirique solide, constitué de nombreuses observations et d’entretiens réalisés auprès de détenus malades et des différents professionnels évoluant dans cet environnement,une anthropologie de l’espace et du temps est proposée. La démarche concerne la manière dont les détenus-patients ainsi que les professionnels de la surveillance et du soin tentent d'articuler leurs activités autour de la maladie dans le monde de la prison et dans celui de l'hôpital. Les activités de ces mondes sont aussi analysées au regard de l'horizon temporel de la sortie de prison menacé par le temps de la maladie et de la mort. Contraintes spatiales et temporelles, qualification des personnes, des objets, des lieux et des rythmes sont au centre de cette réflexion "socio-anthropologique". L’analyse apporte des éléments de compréhension sur l’expérience de la maladie grave, bousculant les objectifs attribués à la peine et le sens de la justice. Cette "double épreuve" nous révèle en filigrane les contours de l'humain. / This work, entitled “Sentence and care: an investigation of space and time among sick prisoners”, raises the question of the prison sentence through the prism of illness. The study goes to the heart of different worlds that are juxtaposed: the worlds of prison, healthcare, and the prisoner. With a solid empirical foundation based on extensive observation and interviews with prisoners and the professionals working in this environment, an anthropology of space and time is here in proposed. The approach deals with the way prisoner-patients, the prison staff, and the healthcare professionals attempt to orient their activities around the disease,within the confines of the prison, and in the hospital setting. The activities in these different environments are also analysed with regards to the temporal horizon of the prisoner’s release,which is threatened by the time of disease and death. Spatial and temporal constraints, the qualification of the different persons, objects, places, and rhythms are all at the centre of this“socio-anthropological” reflection. The analysis provides some insights into the experience of serious illness, which upsets the aims attributed to prison sentences and the sense of justice.Through this “dual ordeal” we can see the outline of how humans are constructed.
