Rehabilitation versus Control: An Organizational Theory of Prison Management

Susan Clark Craig

University of Central Florida

Traditionally, the organizational effectiveness of prisons has been seen in terms of control, rather than rehabilitation, of inmates. Consequently, control-oriented organizational models have been presumed to be the most effective. Historical and contemporary prison management models are discussed. It is suggested that control-oriented models have had an inhibitory effect on the performance of other organizational goals of prisons, notably those of rehabilitation and treatment. Implications of control-oriented organizational models for the management of personnel working in the prison are examined, as are the potential impacts of such models on the delivery of rehabilitation services by private-sector providers.

Key Words: prison • management • organization • inmates
