Document Summary

Wide range of sites outside of the cjs in which we can come to understand punishment. Failure of prisons in achieving its goals: reduction of crime and rehabilitate offenders (rationale) Perhaps the most significant finding of the report is that while we regularly impose this onerous and expensive sanction, it accomplishes very little apart from separating offenders from society for a period of crime. We seek to challenge and interrogate this taken-for-granted relationship, the prison-punishment nexus. Different objectives: punishment is a socio-historical phenomenon: The criminal justice punishment doesn"t exist in nature, but changes in time and place: not merely a technical means in protecting the public. Punishment: not merely using this in a broad way. Intentional infliction of pain within the institution of the law. While pain reduction has been adopted as a major goal and that in society it is difficult to let people suffer intentionally, we still inflict intended pain.
