SUMMARY:Prison Overcrowding and Recidivism: Evidence from Colombia
DESCRIPTION:Watch Video in English Watch Video in Spanish \n\nOvercrowded prisons are a common problem in Latin America\, with policymakers hesitant to improve conditions and risk being perceived as “soft on crime.” While poor prison conditions could\, in theory\, serve as a deterrent and reduce recidivism\, they could also facilitate unsupervised interactions between inmates that might increase their criminal skills and networks. \nIn this webinar\, Santiago Tobon (Universidad EAFIT) presented novel evidence on the relationship between prison conditions and recidivism from a prison construction program in Colombia that allowed many inmates to move into less crowded facilities with better services. \nJuanita Duran (Justice and Criminal Policy Laboratory) commented on the policy implications of this research. A 10-minute Q&A followed the presentation.
