| Sumario: | Harm is embedded in every aspect of the prison: from its inception as an institution of punishment and correction to the deprivations of prison and post-prison life. Recognizing that penal harms militate against prisons' rehabilitative aim and capacity, this article applies a therapeutic justice lens to argue for prehabilitation as a means of strengthening communities, protecting against criminogenic conditions and the disabling effects of imprisonment, and ultimately reducing the reliance on imprisonment as a supposed crime-reduction strategy. This article explores two conceptualizations of the prison: in terms of violence and of health. These different conceptualizations illustrate the various ways in which penal harms may be understood as disabling, and they locate the prison on a continuum of which violence and health are intertwined components. |
