| Zusammenfassung: | Prisons, although controversial from the start, have always had goals that over time, morphed from a strictly punitive to a more restorative and humane way of treating offenders. From the inception, penologists shifted back and forth between the two major philosophies: retribution and rehabilitation. To understand the correctional system and the prison system, it is necessary to determine which system operated first, retribution or rehabilitation, punishment or restoration, prison or corrections? And perhaps more importantly, what was the goal of the correctional system compared to that of the prison system? This chapter will briefly review the history of prisons as a point of reference for the present and future iterations of Caribbean prisons. This chapter will also present the two approaches of penal abolition and reform using the Norwegian prison system and the Caribbean prison system as contrasting examples. |
