Restorative justice

stakeholders affected by an incident—including victims, offenders, and the community—in a
collaborative process aimed at healing and reconciliation.

THE UNITED NATIONS STANDARD MINIMUM RULES FOR THE TREATMENT OF
PRISONERS (THE NELSON MANDELA RULES)
It provides states with detailed guidelines for protecting the rights of persons deprived of
their liberty. The rules are based on an obligation to treat all prisoners with respect for their
inherent dignity and value of human beings, and to prohibit torture and other forms of ill-
treatment.

GOALS OF CRIMINAL SENTENCING


1. RETRIBUTION – act of setting a punishment for someone that fits the crime. Based on lex
talionis or the law of retaliation
2. INCAPACITATION – It refers to the act of making an individual incapable of committing a
crime by execution or banishment and in more modern times byexecution or lengthy periods of
incarceration.
3. DETERRENCE – It is the use of punishment to stop potential criminals from
committing crimes. the threat of punishment will deter people from committing crime and
reduce the probability and/or level of offending in society
4. REHABILITATION – It is the process of helping inmates grow and change, allowing them to
separate themselves from the environmental factors that made them commit a crime in the first
place.
5. RESTORATION – the process where victims, offenders and communities affected by a
particular offense meet to find a way to restore or make amends for the harm resulting from an
offense.

REHABILITATION AND REFORMATION OF PDL


REHABILITATION - is a program of activity directed to restore a PDL self-respect
and sense of responsibility to the community, there making him/her a law-abiding citizen after
serving his/her sentence

It refers to the acts which ensure the public released national inmates are no longer

THERAPEUTIC COMMUNITY (TC)

The Therapeutic Community (TC) is a self-help social learning treatment model designed
for the rehabilitation of drug offenders and individuals with behavioral problems. This model
emphasizes the principles of "right living," fostering an environment where individuals can help
themselves while receiving support from others.

Structure and Functioning


In a TC, the community operates similarly to a functional family, featuring a hierarchical
structure with defined roles for older and younger members. Each participant is expected to
contribute to the community's well-being, adhering to established rules and norms upon entry.
The primary "therapist" in this setting is the community itself, which includes peers, staff,
probation and parole officers, as well as Volunteer Probation Aides (VPAs). These individuals
serve as role models and guides in the recovery process, promoting personal change through
shared experiences.

At present, TCMP is recognized as the backbone program of the BJMP for inmate
development and is being implemented in the majority of the jails nationwide.
