Abstract

L’articolo discute i principi economici che connettono i programmi di lavoro e istruzione in carcere con la riabilitazione dei condannati e analizza come la diversa organizzazione di questi programmi in diversi paesi europei e degli Stati Uniti d’America si rifletta nei diversi tassi di recidiva. Si discutono inoltre importanti aspetti di economia internazionale e political economy internazionale connessi al trattamento dei detenuti che non sono sufficientemente studiati e che offrono pertanto opportunità di ricerca futura. The Economics of Work and Education Programs in Prison: Some Remarks and an International Comparison This article discusses the economic principles that connect work and education programs in prison with the rehabilitation of convicts, and analyses how the different organisation of these programs in different European countries and in the Unites States is reflected in different recidivism rates. The article also discusses important aspects of international economics and international political economy related to the treatment of prisoners that have not been adequately investigated and that therefore provide opportunities for future research.
