L’obiettivo di questa ricerca è studiare l’impatto dell’implementazione di programmi di giustizia riparativa utilizzati in alcuni istituti penitenziari californiani, esplorandone significati ed esperienze di detenuti ed ex-detenuti. Gli ex-detenuti sono stati selezionati sulla base della loro scelta di facilitare programmi di giustizia riparativa all’interno delle carceri; questo elemento, infatti, può essere inteso come un indicatore della soddisfazione per i risultati dei programmi ai quali hanno partecipato durante la loro detenzione. La metodologia utilizzata è di tipo qualitativo e combina diverse tecniche di ricerca, tra cui interviste semi-strutturate e osservazione partecipante. I risultati principali mostrano come i programmi di giustizia riparativa utilizzati all’interno degli istituti penitenziari possano apportare benefici per gli autori del reato in termini di riconoscimento della vittima, necessità di fare ammenda e reinserimento nella società. La ricerca sottolinea la necessità di integrare i programmi di giustizia riparativa ai percorsi trattamentali.

Abstract

The objective of this research is to study the impact of the implementation of restorative justice programmes used in some Californian correctional institutions, exploring the meanings and experiences of inmates and ex-offenders. The ex-prisoners were selected based on their choice to participate in restorative justice programmes within the prisons. This element can be understood as an indicator of satisfaction with the outcomes of the programmes in which they participated during their imprisonment. The methodology employed is of a qualitative nature, incorporating a combination of several research techniques, including semi-structured interviews and participant observation. The primary findings demonstrate the efficacy of restorative justice programmes implemented within penal institutions in enhancing offenders' capacity for victim recognition, the motivation to make amends, and reintegration into society.
