Definition(s)

  • Psychological services offered in prisons perform a dual function: they are aimed at the rehabilitation of prisoners and at the same time toward prison management. The past three decades have evinced drastic changes in the numbers of psychologists working in prisons and in the kinds of work that they do with prisoners.
