The Prison Dilemma
NOMEN Verlag
978-3-939816-64-5 (ISBN)
This is the starting point for offender rehabilitation expert Bernd Maelicke. His assumption is that imprisonment is only truly necessary for serious and dangerous offenders. In his view, for most offenders, prisons remain »schools of crime« that do
little to change them for the better. The detrimental effects of prison subculture predominate.
Drawing on case studies, personal and professional experiences, and empirical data, Bernd Maelicke demonstrates where
the shoe still pinches. He outlines innovative strategies and projects that are slowly emerging in Germany, that focus on
supporting offenders with their social reintegration more effectively, and that policymakers and practitioners around the
world can draw on to better prevent re-offending and protect potential victims.
