This article considers the social desirability of prison work programs in a model in which the function of imprisonment is to deter crime. Two types of prison work programs are studiedvoluntary ones and mandatory ones. A voluntary work program generates net social benefits: if prisoners are paid a wage that just compensates them for their disutility from work, the deterrent effect of the prison sentence is unaffected, but society obtains the product of the work program. But a mandatory work program yields even higher net social benefits: if prisoners are forced to work without compensation, the deterrent effect of the prison sentence rises, allowing society to restore deterrence and save resources by reducing the probability of detection or the sentence

“…The purpose of punishment shifted, and rather than targeting and harming the criminal's body, it started aiming for their souls and minds through discipline (Garland 1986, p. 850). This new era of penal punishment indicated the closure of 'monarchical sovereignty', which up until then, had demonstrated its supreme power and authority through classified 'inquisitorial trials, torture of defendants, and the political ritual of public execution' (Gibson 2011(Gibson , p. 1042.…”

Classical sociological theorists have been criticised for being too vague, incomplete, and ever too conservative and notwithstanding all the efforts and consideration that has been dedicated to linking different parts of Durkheimian thought to the law itself, contemporary sociology and criminology frequently disregard its potential within the current study of law and criminology. This paper, however, will strive to explore and prove, through a Durkheimian lens, how classical sociological frameworks can provide us with a series of diverse aspects to analyse modern values and circumstances.

“…As the prison was located in the direct neighbourhood of Kazmierzowska street, Karna street and Bernstein street, a large crowd of working class men and woman had gathered outside the prison walls and the director anticipated that there was a risk that the unrest may spread to the wider population. As physical violence spread inside the prison and the noise was perceived as symbolic violence, the director was forced to ask for the support of the military and to report directly to the state attorney [4].…”

This text will go back to the 19th century in order to show that the discussion about moving Brygidki to another location started as early as the 1870s when it turned out that the very materiality of the former convent prevented the legal bodies from adapting it to allow for a more dignified method of incarceration. In the 21st century, we witness an ongoing discussion on the need to move the Brygidki prison for people awaiting trial, officially Penal Institution No. 19, out of the city of Lviv.
