A Comprehensive Study of Prison Privatisation : Its effects on the functions of punishment and on the usage of the humain resources

通过与英国、澳大利亚、美国、法国、德国等国监狱私有化经验的比较，分析了日本新PFI （Private Finance Initiative）监狱项目存在的一些问题。我们发现，在日本引入此类监狱的主要目的是让监狱管理参与到21世纪初政府的经济政策中，即放松管制政策，而不是要求监狱中拥挤的囚犯人数或对监狱中囚犯的管理和待遇进行干预。从这个角度出发，我们重新定义了日本项目中政府与私营企业合作的一些特殊方式，并将一些变化引入了严格封闭的世界。我们出版了一本书，赤池和正等人，监狱私有化的一些目的地：关于日本PFI监狱，2008,Gendai Jinbun Sha: Tokyo，作为我们学术努力的结果，并与英法研究人员合作组织了一次研讨会：“日本监狱私有化-比较分析”国际研讨会，Mars 22, 2008，琉球大学。

We have analyzed some problems concerning new Japan PFI (Private Finance Initiative) prisons project by comparing with the experiences of privatisation of prisons in foreign countries like England, Australia, some states of U.S.A., France, Germany etc. We found that the main purpose to introduce such type of prisons in Japan was rather to let participate the administration of prisons to the government's economic policy at the beginning of the 21st century, that is, the deregulation policy, than to reduire the number of the crowding inmates in the prisons or to transperate the administration and the treatment of inmates in prison. And from this point of view, we redefined some particular ways of the cooperation between government and a privae company in Japanese project and some changes introduced into the strictly closed world.We published one book, AKAIKE Kazumasa et al., Some destinations of the privatisation of prisons: On Japanese PFI Prisons, 2008, Gendai Jinbun Sha: Tokyo, as a result of our academic efforts and organized a symposium with the cooperation of English and French researchers: The International Symposium "Prison Privatisation in Japan - A comparative Analysis" Mars 22, 2008, Ryukoku University,
