AB 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.
