In response to the global wave of prison digitalization and technological governance, Taiwan has actively pursued a smart prison initiative aimed at improving custodial security and administrative efficiency through advanced technologies. However, the reform faces persistent structural challenges. This study adopts a comparative institutional approach and engages policy translation theory to examine Taiwan's smart prison development, focusing on the legal framework, human resource limitations, budgetary constraints, and digital infrastructure gaps. Through a critical comparison with smart prison practices in the United States, Finland, and Hong Kong, the paper highlights varying penal philosophies and governance models, assessing their adaptability within Taiwan’s context. It further analyzes the“Correctional Technology Security Network Project,”identifying an overemphasis on surveillance and managerial efficiency, with insufficient integration of rehabilitative, educational, and psychosocial support functions. Therefore, this study argues that Taiwan's smart prison development should shift towards an ethics-oriented approach to technology governance. Specifically, three core strategies should be adopted: establishing a human-rights-based technology governance framework, implementing modular and phased technology adoption, and promoting cross-departmental integration and feedback-based governance. |
