Definition

  • Prior to national efforts to reform prison conditions and improve parole guidelines, criminal behavior was thought to have its roots in the psychosocial and environmental aspects of an offender's life. Parole was seen as a major adjunct to the rehabilitation philosophy that dominated American corrections from the 1930s through the 1960s.
