Abstract

The effectiveness of the measures taken from the prison system for the
reintegration of inmates is a recurring debate in criminology. In this
article, we analyze the extent to which occupational training and work
programs in prisons contribute to social and professional reintegration
of inmates and ex-inmates. The starting point is a research carried out
in Catalonia through in-depth interviews with experts, inmates and
ex-inmates. The main fi ndings are: a) the occupational training and work
programs contribute to the reintegration of prisoners moderately,
according to their personal motivation and social resources; b) however,
these programs would be decisive in therapeutic and educational
aspects with regard to maintaining order and, indirectly, to the social
rehabilitation of prisoners.
