With data from a qualitative study in two Swiss correctional facilities collected during 2019-2020, this article shows that prison social work has a triple role encompassing voluntary social assistance, tasks in relation to the execution of a sentence, and – in the focus of this article – relatively new tasks in line with the risk-minimizing reasoning in prisoner rehabilitative work. The risk-oriented approach, however, is conceptualized under the definitional power of forensic psychology, which assigns social work a subordinate, executing role. While issues of motivating involuntary clients to offence-centred work are intensely discussed in social workers’ reasoning regarding the risk-oriented work, critically questioning social work’s role in the tension between care and control is less evident in the data. We argue that to strengthen the profession’s positioning in the risk-minimizing set of tasks of carceral institutions, a broader interdisciplinary discourse within it is necessary which requires a clear and convincing statement of social work on its possible theoretical and methodical contribution in individual case work as well as on the level of the system as a whole. 000015443 540__ $$acorrect 000015443 592__ $$aHETS-VS 000015443 592__ $$bInstitut Travail Social 000015443 592__ $$cTravail social 000015443 592__ $$dTravail social 000015443 65017 $$aTravail social 000015443 6531_ $$9eng$$aprison social work 000015443 6531_ $$9eng$$arisk security regime 000015443 6531_ $$9eng$$aprison 000015443 6531_ $$9eng$$aprofessional positioning 000015443 6531_ $$9eng$$acare & control 000015443 655__ $$ascientifique 000015443 700__ $$aEmprechtinger, Julia$$uHES-SO Valais-Wallis, School of Social work 000015443 700__ $$aRichter, Marina$$uHES-SO Valais-Wallis, School of Social work 000015443 773__ $$tSocial Work & Society$$j2023, vol. 21$$kIssue 2$$qPublished online 10.06.2024 000015443 85641 $$zOnline$$uhttp://nbn-resolving.de/urn:nbn:de:hbz:464-sws-3127 000015443 8564_ $$uhttps://arodes.hes-so.ch/record/15443/files/Emprechtinger_2024_Prison%20social%20work.pdf$$yPublished version$$90e8b9cee-0b4e-4f3d-b460-ee94e81b22e5$$s398022 000015443 906__ $$aGOLD 000015443 909CO $$ooai:hesso.tind.io:15443$$pGLOBAL_SET 000015443 950__ $$anon attribué 000015443 980__ $$ascientifique 000015443 981__ $$ascientifique
