Making Sense or/of Decisions? Collective Action in Early Release Process

Joséphine Bastard

Résumé

The Belgian Sentence Implementation Court is responsible for the decision of early release from prison. Different professional groups are involved in the making of such a decision: judges, prison governors, prison clerks, psychosocial teams and the prison central administration. Describing the legal framework as well as the practices and interactions through which the stakeholders enact the 2006 Act, this chapter underlines the role of documents and “sensemaking” (Weick et al. Organizing and the process of sensemaking. Organ Sci 16(4):409-421, 2005) in the collective decision-making process. Making sense of various documents (the judgement and description of the offence by the public prosecutor, reports, recommendations, requests, hearing convocations, etc.), the stakeholders are progressively framing the decision of the court.
