It aims to utilize this neuroscientific perspective to illustrate why common features of the prison system (i.e. punitiveness, social exclusion, isolation and poor environments) may be extremely damaging for the brain and behavior and can consequently pose a serious risk to an individual’s progress toward positive change and reintegration into the community as a socially functional individual.Based on a review of this body of neuroscientific studies, the chapter offers several suggestions for embracing this body of knowledge to reform the prison model at both practical and theoretical levels. Notably, it argues for transforming the ethos of prisons to embrace the values of belongingness, dialogue, cooperation, and accountability as well as for re-designing the physical layout of correctional facilities to make these settings as dignified and home-like as possible. It then illustrates the potential of this body of social neuroscience to challenge the constitutionality of solitary confinement and, as a consequence, to support its abolition or at least a radical reform of its regimes. Finally, it emphasizes the compatibility of the demonstrated insights from social neuroscience with the tenets of social rehabilitation. Hence, the chapter argues for the pursuit of social rehabilitation as the most rational and effective goal of the prison system and, ultimately, of criminal justice. The chapter concludes with several remarks about the critical but indirect contribution of social neuroscience to making the criminal justice system more humane.","PeriodicalId":377558,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy and Science of Punishment","volume":"262 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115429438","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This chapter focuses on a particular version of limiting retributivism, which it calls “preventive justice.” Similar in concept to traditional indeterminate sentencing, a preventive justice regime adopts sentence ranges consistent with the offender’s desert and then relies on expert parole boards to determine the nature and duration of sentence within this range based on consideration of individual prevention goals (i.e., incapacitation, specific deterrence and rehabilitation). The analysis of this chapter suggests that a system of relatively wide sentence ranges derived from retributive principles, in combination with short minimum sentences that are enhanced under limited circumstances by statistically-driven risk assessment and management, can alleviate many of the inherent tensions between desert and prevention, between deontology and political reality, and between the desire for community input and the allure of expertise. If done properly, it should also significantly reduce prison populations.","PeriodicalId":377558,"journal":{"name":"The Routledge Handbook of the Philosophy and Science of Punishment","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129617117","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
