Abstract

The study aims to identify literature on the introduction of the digital technologies in correctional environments. This paper argues that the digitalisation creates opportunities for prisons to promote incarcerated people’s rehabilitation: technology can be a powerful tool to help inmates gain skills, education and connections that make successful re-entry into society more likely. On the basis of the relevant literature this article on the one hand explores how the different pace of digital changes and developments in and outside prisons challenges the principle of normality in prison and reintegration aims, on the other hand also show how incarcerated persons’ lack of access to information and communication technologies creates barriers in an increasingly digitalised society. The paper considers that taking account of the importance of digital technologies for everyday tasks and the digital exclusion of prisoners from the technology, there is a need for prison authorities to adapt rehabilitation programs that prepare inmates for re-entry in a technology-dependent world.
