A paradigm change in prisoner rehabilitation and reintegration is underway with the introduction of artificial intelligence ( Al) into correctional institutions. A specific approach to alleviate the effects of human error is by utilising artificial intelligence to enhance human decision-making. Algorithms are being utilised in several jurisdictions to offer judges guidance on the appropriate type and level of punishment that should be imposed on convicted criminals. While human judgement has long played a crucial part in criminal justice systems, technological advancements are progressively augmenting the ability to make decisions. This paper examines the necessity of establishing broad restrictions on the application of algorithms in sentencing determinations. Critique plays a vital role in criminal sentencing; however, the implementation of algorithms in advisory capacities may compromise this significance. To uphold condemnatory sentencing, it is essential to recognise a principle of 'meaningful public control', which necessitates ethical accountability from representatives of the wider political community. This principle does not prohibit the use of algorithms; still it does impose restrictions on their implementation. The review posits that Al has the potential to improve fairness and efficiency in pretrial and jail systems within the criminal justice framework through the application of risk assessment software. The research envisages Al's potential to enhance the rehabilitative, compassionate, and effective aspects of the penal system, thereby facilitating societal reintegration and decreasing rates of recidivism. 2025 Sofia Khatun and Sivananda Kumar K.
