The 6-Form Model of Re/integration

• In Event: Punishment and rehabilitation: balancing competing goals?

Abstract

Driven in part by the advent of ‘mass incarceration’ and ‘mass supervision’ in some late-modern societies, there has been growing interest about life after punishment in academic, policy and research circles all around the globe. In spite of that, after punishment people face significant adversities. This situation may be at least partly due to our limited knowledge about life after punishment and to the lack of a thorough conceptualisation of it to guide policy and practice. Bearing this in mind, the aim of this paper is to present the six-forms model of post-punishment re/integration and to explore its origins, development, and dimensions. I will end up discussing the main implications and uses of this model.
