In France, prison leave ( permission ) is awarded to prisoners by a reentry judge ( juge de l’application des peines, JAP) as part of a multi-agency commission, a process that takes place in prison and comprises the governor, prison and probation officers, and the prosecutor. Numerous rules govern this measure. This paper draws upon a number of previous research studies conducted by the author on the following topics: the legal theorisation of a sentence’s implementation (Author 1994 , 2017a ); a quantitative-qualitative study of JAPs’ practices, hearings and rulings (Author 2014 ); and a mixed method study of a so-called swift release procedure (Author 2017b ). Consequently, two series of issues are identified: The first issue pertains to the lack of due process principles governing the decision-making process. Prisoners who apply for permissions have no ‘voice’, according to Tyler’s ( 2012 ) definition of the term. The second issue is connected to the very rationale behind permissions . Before an Act of 26 March 2019, permissions were primarily concerned with ensuring that prisoners’ reentry process was prepared, that prisoners could complete the steps required to prepare for their release and that they could maintain contact with their loved ones and support systems. They also represented a form of test, used by JAPs to ensure that prisoners could be trusted in the outside world. In other words, they were focused on resettlement and rehabilitation. However, the 2019 Act transferred most of the decision-making process to prison governors. There is now a fear that because their main interest is on maintaining order, permission allocation will shift from an emphasis on reentry-rehabilitation to behavioural criteria and the local situation regarding overcrowding.

法国监狱日假及其背后的理由:重新社会化还是监狱管理?

在法国,作为多机构委员会的一部分,再入法官 (juge de l'application des peines, JAP) 向囚犯授予监狱假(许可),该程序在监狱中进行,包括总督、监狱和缓刑官员和检察官。许多规则管理此措施。本文借鉴了作者之前就以下主题进行的多项研究:句子执行的法律理论化(作者 1994 , 2017a);对 JAP 的做法、听证会和裁决的定量-定性研究(作者 2014);以及所谓的快速释放程序的混合方法研究(作者 2017b)。因此,确定了两个系列的问题: 第一个问题涉及缺乏管理决策过程的正当程序原则。根据 Tyler (2012) 对该术语的定义,申请许可的囚犯没有“发言权”。第二个问题与权限背后的基本原理有关。在 2019 年 3 月 26 日的法案之前,许可主要涉及确保准备好囚犯的再入境程序,确保囚犯可以完成释放所需的步骤,以及他们可以与亲人和支持系统保持联系。它们还代表了一种测试形式,日本人使用它来确保囚犯可以在外部世界中得到信任。换句话说,他们专注于重新安置和康复。然而,2019 年法案将大部分决策过程转移给监狱长。现在有人担心,因为他们的主要兴趣是维持秩序,
