ABSTRACT The Enhanced Visits Model (EVM) provides support to families in the United States, including technology to connect remotely with incarcerated parents, funding for video visits, and visit coaching for adults to support relationship building with children. Such support is intended to decrease barriers to traditional visits but not replace in-person visiting. The EVM is important for parents who are in local jails, rather than prisons, since jails typically incarcerate people for less time than prisons and lack programs that often exist in prisons. This paper focuses on development of the EVM and initial results of a feasibility and acceptability study. Although some challenges exist regarding engagement of children’s caregivers and the quality of sound and visual images, families and professionals provided positive feedback about the intervention. During video visits, children interacted with their incarcerated parents in creative ways, including showing toys, playing games, singing, reading, and doing homework. Moreover, incarcerated parents were virtually present at key times, including children’s mealtimes, bedtimes, holidays, and daily routines. This paper provides evidence that remote video visits are enjoyed by families and incarcerated parents and supports the recommendation to supplement (but not replace) in-person contact with remote video visits for children and incarcerated parents.

COVID-19 lockdowns accelerated the take up of video calls and other digital communication between people in prison and the outside world. This has altered relationships with families and practice within rehabilitative and reintegration services. Little work has discussed the significance of these changes or articulated a normative agenda for shaping changes in future. This article aims to identify strategies that might help reintegration services and justice system agencies maximise the benefits and minimise the harms from information communication technology (ICT) use between people in prison and their families and services. Drawing from empirical literature, practical insights from service delivery and theoretical insights from assemblage theory and carceral geography, this article proposes three strategies: design spatial, scheduling and security measures to minimise stigma and disruption;actively support ICT users to equitably access the potential of ICT systems;and develop program practices in parallel with the evolutions of the technology they employ. Each of these strategies is set out with sub-components and suggestions for further research.

ABSTRACT Generally, research has shown that offenders’ compliance with correctional rules is motivated mainly by the belief that correction officers are legitimate and should be obeyed. There are also contentions that, in correctional settings with widespread violence and abuse, compliance may not necessarily be driven by the persuasion that correctional officers are legitimate but by feelings of endemic helplessness (a condition that is described as dull compulsion). We are uncertain whether such a claim holds true for the South African correctional setting. From a survey of participants from selected correctional centres in South Africa, this study has examined the factors that predict compliance behaviour among incarcerated offenders in South Africa. Findings indicate (among others) that perceived legitimacy, and not dull compulsion, is a predictor of compliance behaviour in the South African correctional setting. The implications of the findings are explicated.

ABSTRACT The destructive harm caused by corporate psychopaths has become an area of considerable interest to medical professionals, lawyers and philosophers. This paper analyses contemporary research forwarded by these distinct groups in order to determine if, in light of current scientific knowledge on this mental disorder, corporate psychopaths can be held fully responsible for their crimes, and if so, on what basis? In combining the often-disparate conclusions reached by the above groups in relation to the criminalisation of corporate psychopaths, this paper makes a significant contribution to the field by presenting novel methods of holding corporate psychopaths morally culpable for their crimes, as previous research of this kind has focused on clinical psychopaths, who tend to be involved in violent offences.

ABSTRACT This paper examines four conceptions of ‘ecocide’ that relate to descriptions of environmental harm, criminalisation of these harms and inclusion of ecocentric considerations. It then positions advocacy pertaining to ecocide laws in the context of a political economy that both creates and fails to respond to the problems and consequences of ecocide. As part of this, the paper briefly reviews key challenges to the protection of the environment and human rights, as well as the importance of social transformation in furthering social and ecological justice.

The Community Restorative Centre (CRC) is based in New South Wales, with its family worker and telephone information and referral service worker providing support to the families of people in prison in that state. The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting suspension of face-to-face visits to incarcerated loved ones caused a high level of distress to families, which was partially alleviated by the introduction of video visits directly to the family's own smart device. This new system of video visiting was not without difficulties but provided a welcome method of staying in contact with a loved one in custody. CRC staff were able to provide ongoing emotional support and accurate, up-to-date information to family members throughout the pandemic and alleviate some of the misinformation and resulting distress experienced by families who were concerned about the physical and emotional wellbeing of their relative in custody.
