Wed, Nov 13, 9:30 to 10:50am, Salon 13 - Lower B2 Level

Session Submission Type: Complete Thematic Panel

Abstract/Description

Relatively little is known about the experiences and perceptions of people living in prison in Central America. The current session reports on results from the Inmate Perceptions of Procedural Justice and Correctional Standards of Care (PJCSC) survey using a sample of 2,590 prisoners in Guatemala. The first paper provides an overview of the survey methods and how people in prison experience and perceive the Rule of Law. The second paper focuses on perceptions of procedural justice. The third presentation examines the extent to which incarcerated people have access to programs and employment while in prison. The final paper provides a comparison of findings between the traditional prison model and a new model of prison management. Policy and research implications are offered.
