In 2008 the California Supreme Court forced the state’s parole board to change how it justifies the decision to keep a person in prison. This article combines computational and interpretive analysis of 9,842 hearing transcripts to show how, to achieve compliance with the court, parole board commissioners refurbished an old rehabilitative way of talking about incarceration found in a set of secondary hearing procedures and placed it at the center of decisions. The article considers the consequences of this shift for inequality in incarceration in California. More broadly, it makes the case for focusing on the relationship between administrators and those who can directly intervene in their practices in the name of compliance to understand bureaucratic penal change.

我来到你面前，一个变了的人：“洞察力”、合规性和翻新加州的刑事实践

2008 年，加利福尼亚州最高法院迫使该州的假释委员会改变其证明将某人留在监狱的决定的方式。本文结合了对 9,842 份听证会笔录的计算和解释分析，以展示假释委员会委员如何翻新在一系列二次听证程序中发现的关于监禁的旧康复方式，并将其置于决策的中心. 这篇文章考虑了这种转变对加州监禁不平等的影响。更广泛地说，它有理由关注行政人员与那些可以以合规的名义直接干预他们的做法的人之间的关系，以了解官僚刑罚的变化。
