Challenges of Clinical Psychology and Penitentiary System: Recidivism versus Reformation
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Worldwide, prison system has been established to in incarcerate offenders with two fold objectives. One to segregate the convict from the society, and two to give him sufficient time to pore over repeatedly about his misdeed and demonstrate amplified inclination to reform himself. Since time immemorial prison system has been adjudged to be reformative in nature. Put plainly the convict as a criminal should be put behind bars. However, studies have demonstrated that with the current punitive system the rate of recidivism is quite high which indicate that the penitentiary system has failed in its objective. New experiments were done to tone up the prison and let the prisoners contribute better and fully in the society. As an alternate mechanism the open jail system was mooted. In this paper the author has undertaken a contrasted analysis between rate of recidivism in high security prison and relatively open system of incarceration. Bolivian prison system is supposed to be most relaxed system in this world. Therefore, in the current paper this prison system would be examined and quoted.
