Paper Summary:

This paper explains that the only way to truly provide humane conditions is by taking rehabilitative measures to control the number of prisoners by reducing the large number of prisoners who go to jail in the first place or wind up in jail again after their release. It calls for community-based supervision and prison rehabilitation programs in order to stop the cycle of criminals returning to jail after their release.

From the Paper:

"To understand why a belief in criminological positivism and a faith in rehabilitation and a welfare characterized crime control has formed in the modern era, there are two major issues to consider. One is the lack of humane conditions that are presently provided in prison systems and the other is the degree of rehabilitation that prisons can and should facilitate to cope with prison populations that are swelling beyond control. Rehabilitation to avoid incarceration in the first place or to reduce the likelihood that inmates will return to prison after their release is the best possible solution."
