“…Evidence suggests that the program in California substantially reduced recidivistic crime among former workreleasees. 72 North Carolina's program had no impact on overall recidivism rates, but appears to have shifted recidivistic crime toward less serious offenses. 73 On the other hand, work release programs in Massachusetts 74 and in Florida 75 had no significant effect on post-release behavior, measured in a wide variety of ways.…”

“…Studija koja je sprovedena u Karolini (Jeffery & Woolpert, 1974) ukazuje da je program smanjio recidivizam među osuđenima sa dužom kriminalnom prošlošću, ali da nije imao uticaj na one koji su bili osuđeni prvi ili drugi put. Evaluacija koja je sprovedena u Severnoj Karolini (Witte, 1977) ukazuje da su učesnici programa hapšeni za lakše prestupe od onih koji nisu bili obuhvaćeni radnim odsustvom.…”

Gradski centar za socijalni rad, Odeljenje Palilula, Beograd Kazna ili promena uz kaznu, večna je dilema kreatora politike kažnjavanja, naročito u oblasti zatvorskog sistema. Kako se na izvršenju zatvorske kazne najčešće nalaze osuđeni počinioci teških i opasnih krivičnih dela, koji prema stepenu rizika nisu mogli biti osuđeni na vaninstitucionalne kazne, postoji otpor da se težište zatvorske kazne pomeri ka korekciji. Izvršenje kazne zatvora više je okrenuto segregaciji i izolaciji, dok se u rehabilitacione programe znatno manje ulaže. Težina prestupa, u kombinaciji sa antidruštvenim karakteristikama osuđenih, povećava potrebu obezbeđivanja i očuvanja reda, što ostavlja manje prostora za sprovođenje profesionalnog osposobljavanja. Radno angažovanje i osposobljavanje u tom pravcu odraz su ideja da osuđene treba sankcionisati za počinjenu štetu i suprotstavljanju normama društva, ali da se istovremeno mora misliti i na njihov budući život po izlasku na slobodu, na opstanak i egzistenciju legalnim poslovima, kako ne bi vršili nova krivična dela i ponovo se vraćali u zatvor. Cilj rada je opis razvoja i primene radnih programa u zatvorskim uslovima u SAD. Ukazano je da ne postoji opšta saglasnost u idejnoj ravni, u ravni konkurencije na slobodnom tržištu roba i usluga, kao i u pogledu stvarnih efekata koje takvo angažovanje osuđenih u zatvoru zaista proizvodi i u kojoj meri utiče na redukovanje recidivizma. Postojanje i osavremenjivanje radnih programa u zatvorima ipak upućuje na zaključak o njihovoj svrsishodnosti, pozitivnim 1 E-mail: verapetrovic0101@gmail.com; Student doktorskih akademskih studija.

“…HWHs have been utilized since the 1970s as a means of controlled reentry (Donnelly & Forschner, 1984;Jeffery & Woolpert, 1974;Latessa & Allen, 1982;Latessa & Travis, 1991). These facilities provide a "structured, controlled residence combined with the freedom of residents to seek employment and other activities in the free community" (Latessa & Travis, 1991, p. 54).…”

“…Work-release and work-furlough programs have been utilized to aid offenders in preparing for, and actually reintegrating into, the community. Jeffery and Woolpert (1974) first examined the viability of work furlough as an alternative to incarceration. Their findings indicated that work furlough did reduce recidivism, but only for certain types of offenders.…”

“…The grand total of days in a work release HWH was divided into an ordinal measure of 90-day intervals. Ninety-day intervals were selected, as a minimum of 90 days is the suggested minimum effective treatment dosage (Jeffery & Woolpert, 1974;MacKenzie, 2006). Overall, both cited discussions focus on ensuring treatment integrity, and state that offenders should participate in treatment programming for at least 90 days in order for programming to have an opportunity to impact subjects' recidivistic tendencies.…”
