This dissertation project traces the meaning of rehabilitation as a goal of the correctional and parole system in California. In 2005, California restructured its correctional system to place a greater emphasis on rehabilitation. For parole, the turn to rehabilitation appears as a reemergence of a policy that dominated California penal law before the 1970s. It is unclear, however, whether what is meant by "rehabilitation" in California's correctional system after 2005 is similar to the policies relied upon before the 1970s, or if it is something different. Understanding what is meant by rehabilitation in California's correctional system, and how it is different from previous versions, is necessary to understand how rehabilitation is achieved through the parole system. As such, this project asks the following questions: 1) What is meant by rehabilitation as a goal of California's correctional system as expressed in the 2005 legislation and subsequent reorganization of the system? 2) How did the current version of rehabilitation come about? 3) How does the current version compare to prior meanings of rehabilitation in the context of California's correctional system? and 4) How does the legislative intent of rehabilitation impact the practice of parole? By drawing on the methodologies of comparative historical and textual analyses, this study will focus on what rehabilitation means, how the current call for rehabilitation came about, and its relationship to prior attempts at rehabilitation within California's correctional system as a whole, and, more specifically, within the parole system. In so doing, this study will attempt to provide a better understanding of rehabilitation as a legislative goal and how rehabilitation is mandated to the parole system.

本论文项目追溯了康复作为加州惩教和假释制度目标的意义。 2005年，加州重组了惩教系统，更加重视康复工作。对于假释，改过自新似乎是 20 世纪 70 年代之前主导加州刑法的政策的重新出现。 然而，目前尚不清楚2005年后加州惩教系统中的“改造”含义是否与1970年代之前所依赖的政策相似，或者是否有所不同。 了解加州惩教系统中的康复意味着什么，以及它与以前的版本有何不同，对于了解如何通过假释系统实现康复是必要的。 因此，该项目提出了以下问题： 1) 2005 年立法和随后的系统重组中所表达的加州惩教系统的康复目标是什么意思？ 2）当前版本的康复是如何产生的？ 3) 当前版本与加州惩教系统背景下康复的先前含义相比如何？ 4）康复的立法意图如何影响假释实践？通过利用比较历史和文本分析的方法，本研究将重点关注康复的含义、当前康复的呼声是如何产生的，以及它与加州整个惩教系统内之前康复尝试的关系，更具体地说， ，在假释制度内。为此，本研究将试图更好地理解作为立法目标的康复以及假释制度如何强制康复。
