Incarceration Effects – Part 2

Lecture Outline

Why incarceration does not work?

- Return to same environment

- Probability of arrest per offense is low

- Risk v. reward may be based on this probability

- Severity of sanctions doesn’t equal severity of the offense

- Offenders are not always rational

- General Deterrence may work only for law-abiding citizens

- Treatment by the police and the court system (seeing the criminal justice system as legitimate)

These things only affect law abiding citizens because they are rational

How might incarceration contribute to desistance instead of persistence? Apax prisons(you apply

to. Facility is run by volunteer. You get a mentor)

- Prison experience promotes personal reform

- Programs are geared more towards succeeding outside prison
