Significant in the management of a safe and secure custodial environment is the compliance of incarcerated persons with the prison rules and the directives of prison officers. In recent years, there has been increased research focus on the role of normative compliance in the prison environment, which is postulated to derive from the perceptions of legitimacy and procedural justice of those who are incarcerated. This article presents the findings of a scoping review of the empirical literature as it relates to procedural justice and legitimacy in prison settings. This literature is charted and then analyzed across two primary themes, namely “Shaping Perceptions of Procedural Justice and Legitimacy” and “Procedural Justice, Legitimacy, and Compliance.” The presence of normative compliance in prisons and the contribution of procedurally just treatment to perceptions of legitimacy held by persons who are incarcerated are discussed.

管理安全可靠的羁押环境的重要因素是被监禁者遵守监狱规则和监狱官员的指示。近年来，越来越多的研究关注规范遵从在监狱环境中的作用，这被认为是源于对被监禁者的合法性和程序正义的看法。本文介绍了对与监狱环境中的程序正义和合法性相关的实证文献进行范围界定审查的结果。这些文献被绘制成图表，然后跨两个主要主题进行分析，即“塑造对程序正义和合法性的看法”和“程序正义、合法性和合规性”。
