| 總結: | The American penal history is often described as a series of alternating retributive and reformative periods, the last example being the decline of the rehabilitative ideal and of the penal-welfare model in the 1970s, followed by a strong re-emergence of punitive sanctions and expressive justice. Taking the example of the Georgia prison system, this paper illustrates the fact that penal policies and practices do not follow such a clear pattern but are in fact the result of a constant struggle between two opposite conceptions of punishment, therefore showing that, even in a very conservative Southern State, Michel Foucault’s claim that reform is contemporary with prison itself still holds true. |
