In April 2009, California officials unveiled historic plans to cut $400 million from the state's $9.8 billion corrections budget by reducing the prison population by 8,000. With half the reductions coming from changes in parole policy that would reduce the revolving door of parolees being returned on technical violations, and the other half from changes in the treatment of property crimes and enhanced credits for prisoners attending education programmes, the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation effectively adopted part of a larger plan created by Californians United for a Responsible Budget, a lobby group made up of 43 prison abolitionist, reform and social justice organisations. This temporary alignment between anti-prison activists and one of the nation's largest and most powerful correctional departments is a dramatic shift from a political terrain in which activists have relied on direct action, mass protests and lawsuits to block state officials bent on inexorable prison expansion. I want to argue that the grassroots tactics used by the antiprison movement over the past decade to transform popular understandings of mass incarceration have opened up the door to new political possibilities at a time of economic crisis. Where prisons were once seen as a recession-proof inevitability, the anti-prison movement has created a chink in the armour that may be the first step in ending America's over-reliance on imprisonment as a solution to deep-rooted social problems.
2009年4月,加州官员公布了一项历史性计划,通过减少8000名囚犯,从该州98亿美元的惩戒预算中削减4亿美元。一半的减少来自于假释政策的改变,这将减少假释犯因技术违法而被遣返的可能性,另一半来自于财产犯罪处理方式的改变,以及对参加教育项目的囚犯增加学分。加州矫正和康复部有效地采用了加州负责任预算联合组织(California’s United for a Responsible Budget)制定的一项更大计划的一部分,这是一个由43名监狱废除主义者组成的游说团体。改革和社会正义组织。反监狱活动人士与美国规模最大、权力最大的惩教部门之一的临时结盟,标志着政治格局的巨大转变。在过去,活动人士一直依靠直接行动、大规模抗议和诉讼来阻止州政府官员决意无情地扩大监狱规模。我想说的是,在过去的十年里,反监狱运动所使用的草根策略改变了大众对大规模监禁的理解,在经济危机时期为新的政治可能性打开了一扇门。监狱一度被认为是经济衰退的必然结果,而反监狱运动在美国的盔甲上创造了一个裂缝,这可能是结束美国过度依赖监禁作为解决根深蒂固的社会问题的第一步。

The Benthamite workhouse principle of ‘less eligibility’ dates back to the Poor Law Amendment Act 1834 and, since its application to the sphere of criminal justice, has long dictated that prisoners and other lawbreakers should always be last in the queue for access to scant welfare resources because of the moral censure attached to their behaviour. This continues to be problematic for those advocating penal reform with debates about imprisonment often descending into objections to any material improvement in conditions on the basis that they would be unfair to ‘hard-working taxpayers’ or the supposedly ‘law-abiding majority’. An allied but lesser known principle is that of ‘non-superiority’ which Mannheim (1939) described as ‘the requirement that the condition of the criminal when he has paid the penalty for his crime should be at least not superior to that of the lowest classes of the non-criminal population’.
Benthamite济贫院的“更少资格”原则可以追溯到1834年的《济贫法修正案》(Poor Law Amendment Act),自从它被应用于刑事司法领域以来,一直规定囚犯和其他违法者应该永远排在获得稀缺福利资源的最后,因为他们的行为会受到道德谴责。对于那些提倡刑法改革的人来说,这仍然是一个问题,因为关于监禁的辩论往往会沦为反对任何物质条件改善的理由,因为这对“辛勤工作的纳税人”或所谓的“守法的大多数”是不公平的。一个与之相关但鲜为人知的原则是“非优越性”,曼海姆(1939)将其描述为“要求罪犯在为其罪行付出代价时的条件至少不应优于非犯罪人口中最低阶层的条件”。
