Restorative justice, despite its abolitionist origins and critical spirit of the criminal justice system, is nowadays institutionalized in many countries around the world, where it coexists with traditional criminal theory. As a result, RJ programmes are arranged at all levels of criminal justice, including prison. Various authors support the introduction of the restorative paradigm in the penitentiary environment, in view of improving its efficiency, humanizing and possibly transforming it. However, others distrust this operation, fearing the many limits and risks generated by the tension between the rationales behind restoration and imprisonment. This paper aims to explore the various positions fuelling this debate and the theoretical and empirical studies that support them, in order to draw suggestions about the rehabilitative and transformative potential that RJ can realistically exert on the penitentiary law.
Keywords: restorative justice; penal policy; prison; rehabilitation; reoffending; reform.
