Material type: 
BookPublisher: Bihar Journal of Public Administration Description: 21(2s), Jul-Dec, 2024: p.522-535.Subject(s): artificial intelligence, prison Administration, parole, recidivism, AI surveillanceSummary: Artifi cial intelligence (hereinafter AI) has transformed human society. It has been
applied by humans across multiple facets of their day-to-day lives. One aspect
where this inclusion has become evident in recent times is the domain of criminal
justice. This is also true for prison administration, which is one of the foremost
facets of the criminal justice system of any country. The inclusion of AI in
prison administration can lead to a paradigm shift in surveillance activities and
management because of the inherent effi ciency and impartiality that AI systems
possess. AI systems also have the ability to predict recidivism among prisoners,
causing a better assessment of parole-related decisions. Contrarily, the use of
AI for management purposes may have debilitating effects on the psychological
health of the prisoners due to the absence of human interaction. Furthermore, AI
can also refl ect the bias within humans, and that refl ection may be detrimental
in the interests of justice and fairness vis-à-vis decisions made for parole. This
is important because it represents repercussions regarding the basic rights of
prisoners such as the rights of liberty and freedom that would be granted with
parole. In this backdrop, the present paper will try to understand and analyse the
use of AI in prison administration systems, by examining its positive and negative
implications. - Reproduced
