Abstract/Resumo
The development of information and communications technology (ICT) over the
past few decades has been positively surprising. Prison development has also been
surprising, in a negative way. Hardline policy positions towards crime and the
expansion in the consumption of ICT products are contemporaneous. They are cooccurrences.
What makes sense of this apparent contradiction is the way societies
experience distinct dispositions depending on the issues they have to face. The same
people are able to be optimistic, in relation to the positive use of computers, and
pessimistic as to the possibility of the criminal-penal system being able to combat
crime. Is it possible for society to experience a disposition in which punitiveness
regarding prisoners is replaced by the hope of reintegration for those convicted of
crime? The answer is: there can be a shift of the dominant disposition, but for that
we must reshape the whole of this society into another.
