本章探讨雇用囚犯为公营及私营机构提供商业服务的做法。国际监狱研究中心报告说，全世界共有6291179名囚犯。与所有其他国家相比，美国的囚犯人数最多，有2,193,789名囚犯，监禁率最高，每10万人中有737名囚犯。考虑到95%的美国囚犯有一天会被释放，而70%的释放囚犯会成为惯犯（FPI 2012），任何能够帮助释放囚犯成功重返社会的干预措施都必须对个人、他们的家庭和社区产生积极影响。监狱就业项目就是这样一种干预方法。在本章中，我们的目标是研究一种特殊类型的监狱就业计划：雇用和培训囚犯使用计算机进行商业服务，也被称为“数字化”商业服务（Carmel et al. 2013）。
This chapter explores the practice of employing prisoners to perform business services for the public and private sectors. The International Centre for Prison Studies reports that there are 6,291,179 prisoners worldwide. The United States (US) has the greatest number of inmates with 2,193,789 prisoners and the highest incarceration rate at 737 inmates per 100,000 people compared to all other countries. Given that 95% of US inmates will one day be released and given that 70% of released inmates become repeat offenders (FPI 2012), any intervention that can help released inmates re-enter society successfully must have positive impacts on the individuals, their families and communities. Prison employment programs have been one such intervention method. In this chapter, we aim to study a special type of prison employment program: the hiring and training of prisoners to perform business services using a computer, otherwise known as “digitally enabled” business services (Carmel et al. 2013).
