International human rights state that imprisonment for mothers with babies should be used as a last resort. Currently, there is no international agreement for the age limit of children in prison and a lack of consistency with the treatment of this minority population. This article is significant in its advocacy of using a theoretical approach that emphasises the benefits of using legislation, including international human rights frameworks. The premise of Therapeutic Jurisprudence (TJ) is that law influences emotional life and psychological well-being (Winick & Wexler, 2003). Significantly, the duty bearers of the Bangkok Rules (2010) include individuals from non-governmental organisations, local communities and the voluntary sector. This article examines the role of activists who represent the rights of women, practitioners who work in prisons and other potential stakeholders. The significance of this article is its recognition of the need for creating a rights respecting culture in prisons across the globe is complex for babies in prison. Міжнародні права людини стверджують, що тюремне ув'язнення матерів з немовлятами повинно застосовуватися в крайньому випадку. В даний час не існує міжнародної згоди щодо вікового обмеження дітей, які перебувають у місцях позбавлення волі, та відсутності узгодженості з поводженням із цим населенням меншин. Ця стаття є важливою у своїй пропаганді використання теоретичного підходу, який підкреслює переваги використання законодавства, включаючи міжнародні рамки прав людини. Передумова терапевтичної юриспруденції (TJ) полягає в тому, що закон впливає на емоційне життя та психологічне благополуччя (Winick & Wexler, 2003). Важливо зазначити, що носіями обов'язків Бангкокських правил (2010) є представники неурядових організацій, місцевих громад та добровільного сектору. У цій статті розглядається роль активістів, які представляють права жінок, практикуючих, які працюють у в'язницях, та інших потенційних зацікавлених сторін. Значення цієї статті полягає в тому, що визнання ...

Therapeutic Jurisprudence: Foundations, Expansion, and Assessment Founded in 1987 by law professors David Wexler and the late Bruce Winick, therapeutic jurisprudence ("TJ") is a multidisciplinary school of legal theory and practice that examines the therapeutic and anti-therapeutic properties of law, policy, and legal institutions. In legal events and transactions, TJ inherently favors outcomes that advance human dignity and psychological well-being. Starting with original groundings in mental health and mental disability law, criminal law, and problem-solving courts, and with a geographic focus on the United States, TJ now embraces many aspects of law and policy and presents a strong international orientation. This Article provides a meta-level examination of the field, including its origins, core doctrinal and theoretical foundations, critical reviews, expansion into many areas of law, procedure, and legal institutions, and connections with other modalities of legal theory and practice. Furthermore, it assesses TJ's standing and considers opportunities and challenges for the field's expansion and growth. The intended purpose of this Article is two-fold: first, to spur discussions within the TJ community about the past, present, and future of the field and, second, to provide a substantive, yet accessible introduction to TJ for those who wish to learn more about it.

While the manifestation of therapeutic jurisprudence in specialty courts such as mental health and drug courts has received attention in the literature, there is little scholarship on the manifestation and function of therapeutic jurisprudence in probation settings. This study examines therapeutic jurisprudence in the context of a HOPE-based probation program called Swift and Certain probation. We observed status hearings and surveyed participants on their perceptions of the program for over 2 years. We found that therapeutic jurisprudence was manifested in the judge's liberal use of praise during status hearings, which appeared to be an important part of participants' positive perceptions of him and of procedural justice more generally. It was also manifested, though less directly, in interactions and relationships participants have with their probation officers. We conclude with suggestions for the implementation of therapeutic justice practices in Swift and Certain and similar probation programs.
