With the coming of Risk Society, people feel more unsafe and criminal policies are also influenced. Populations in Taiwan are misguided by mass media which exaggerating the condition of public order and people misunderstand that crime rate is getting higher. They feel much more afraid of being victimized; querying the effects of traditional treatments to prisoners, and depend on criminal punishment. It results in penal populism. The increasing incarceration rate which results from excessively depending on penalties causes Taiwan more financial burdens. We can indicate by data that Prisoners in Taiwan who are unemployed or not well-educated before imprisonment have to face more severe condition of social exclusion after leaving prison because of their own social networks which are disintegrated by the long-term imprisonment. We still cannot clearly define what so-called social inclusion is from existing documents. It may narrow our viewpoint if we interpret social inclusion as “anti-social exclusion”. The study tries to clarify the concept of social inclusion so as to reconsider criminal policies in Taiwan. The criminal justice system in Taiwan reinforces social exclusion of prisoners though the exclusion is not the main purpose of penalty theories. The study suggests that attempting to review criminal policies through the concept of social inclusion; we have to put more community-based treatments into practices and decrease the punishments, trying to develop problem-solving courts and restorative justice and improving the existing after-care system and social service order. More importantly, governments should cooperate with NGOs or NPOs to establish a better system to reintegrate prisoners.
