Work Furlough and Punishment Theory

handle is hein.journals/crim8 and id is 65 raw text is: WORK FURLOUGH AND PUNISHMENT THEORY Stanley E. Grupp Work furlough is one of several modifications of traditional correctional methods and procedures which has enjoyed increasing and sustained interest in the United States and other countries in recent years. These methods involve a variety of community based extramural and quasi-institution- al procedures which include in addition to work furlough, halfway houses of various types, and short term leaves or prison furloughs for home visits, finding work and the like. Release is usually for the purpose of private employment although release is sometimes permitted for other reasons such as participating in some type of educational program. The prisoner returns to confinement at the close of the work day. Work furlough has been used by all types of institutions including county and city jails and for felons as well as misde- meanants.

Work furlough is known by various names. In fact, the label, work furlough, is, if I am not mistaken, unique to STANLEY E. GRUPP is Associate Professor of Sociology at Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois. His major fields of interest are criminology and deviant behavior with a special research interest in the area of drug abuse.
