  abstract = {The article examines the claim that prisoners function as scapegoats in our society. The scapegoat mechanism, as illuminated by Girard, arises from mimesis, and this accounts for a good deal of crime, and is one of the reasons that the poor are disproportionately criminalized. In addition, it is a way for individuals and societies to deal with guilt: offloaded on to the prisoner, society no longer has to deal with it. Scapegoating, however, is a way of dealing with problems through violence. Its opposite is inclusion and the practice of forgiveness. Programs of restorative justice can begin to turn this practice from noble sentiment into penal policy.},
