Overcrowding fuels recidivism: why a purely punitive prison system makes society less safe<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

We know far too little about what really happens inside prisons. In this issue of eco<\/em>, we look beyond the walls of our penitentiary system and let the data speak. The overwhelming majority of inmates serve their sentences in severely overcrowded facilities. This is a chronic problem that calls for structural interventions, including the construction of new prisons. It is not only a matter of upholding constitutional principles in the treatment of those who have committed crimes, but also of ensuring greater safety for society as a whole. Overcrowding and recidivism are in fact two sides of the same coin: a purely punitive prison risks becoming a training ground for crime. By contrast, where detention conditions are better, inmates can take part in work and rehabilitation programs that support reintegration and significantly reduce the likelihood of reoffending.<\/div>\n
