Rethinking Prison Disciplinary Processes: A Potential Future for Restorative Justice

The movement for restorative justice (RJ) has struggled with marginalization on the soft end of the criminal justice system where the threat of net widening and iatrogenesis looms large. To realize the full potential of RJ as an alternative philosophy of justice, restorative practices need to expand beyond the world of adolescent and small-level offences into the deeper end of the justice system. Disciplinary hearings inside of adult prisons may be a strategic space to advance this expansion. This paper presents findings from a study of prison discipline in four UK prisons. The findings strongly suggest that in their current form, such disciplinary proceedings are viewed by prisoners as lacking in legitimacy. Although modelled after the adversarial system of the criminal court, the adjudications were instead universally derided as ‘kangaroo courts’, lacking in the basic elements of procedural justice. Based on these findings, we argue that restorative justice interventions may offer a viable redress to these problems of legitimacy which, if successful, would have ramifications that extend well beyond the prison walls.

Participo que..: desvelando a punição intramuros

Este estudo objetiva refletir, a partir das perspectivas da Sociologia da Prisão e da Sociologia da Punição, sobre as práticas de serviço cotidianas dos agentes penitenciários lotados no Instituto Presídio Hélio Gomes, estabelecimento prisional da Secretaria de Administração Penitenciária do Estado do Rio de Janeiro. Do ponto de vista metodológico, optou-se por usar como fonte de dados primários as comunicações de ocorrências registradas pelos servidores prisionais no Livro de Comunicação de Ocorrências e no Livro de Partes Disciplinares, relativos ao ano de 2004. Em especial, pretende-se observar a) Como, quando e quais são os motivos que levam os servidores prisionais a redigir e aplicar uma sanção disciplinar; b) Como a noção de disciplina prisional é evocada em tais registros, ou seja, o que o agente penitenciário define como sendo um ato indisciplinar nessas comunicações e; c) Qual a funcionalidade do uso da parte disciplinar para a gestão do estabelecimento prisional. A partir dessas questões, e considerando ainda a relação da unidade prisional com o ambiente no qual se encontra inserido, se buscará refletir sobre aspectos contemporâneos do uso da pena de prisão na sociedade brasileira.
