ABSTRACT

The study examined the experience of delivering Rehabilitative Adjudications (RAs), a concept which explicitly integrates rehabilitative skills and procedural justice principles within a traditional disciplinary process for responding to rule-breaking in prison. Based on interviews with ten adjudicators, seven themes were identified. Overall, perceptions of RAs were positive, perceived to be a more constructive, rehabilitative, engaging and hopeful way to respond to rule-breaking, and in keeping with efforts to develop a wider rehabilitative prison culture. Existing adjudicator skills were reinforced through the training, and others developed for additional application in practice. A number of recommendations are made for organisations or prisons looking to adopt a RA approach, including suggestions to overcoming barriers that participants faced during the trial.

摘要

该研究审查了提供更生裁决 (RA) 的经验，该概念明确将改造技能和程序正义原则整合到传统纪律程序中，以应对监狱中的违规行为。根据对十名评审员的采访，确定了七个主题。总体而言，对 RA 的看法是积极的，被认为是一种更具建设性、改造性、参与性和充满希望的应对违规行为的方式，并与发展更广泛的改造性监狱文化的努力保持一致。现有的裁判员技能通过培训得到加强，其他技能也得到了发展，以便在实践中进一步应用。为希望采用 RA 方法的组织或监狱提出了一些建议，
