The purpose of this study was to research studies in the literature regarding the role of the occupational therapist within penitentiary facilities.
DESIGN/METHODOLOGY/APPROACH: The study design is a systematic review using five different databases.
Findings can therefore ascertain the potential role of occupational therapists in penitentiary institutions because they can contribute to the rehabilitation of prisoners both inside and outside prisons with a view to their reintegration into society.
RESEARCH LIMITATIONS/IMPLICATIONS: It is necessary for clinical practice, and especially to increase the health of people within prisons, to update the occupational therapist interventions in the literature that are effective within prisons.
According to this study, the intervention of occupational therapists in the prison setting reduces recidivism and contributes to social and work reintegration. This has positive effects in terms of costs related to incarceration.
ORIGINALITY/VALUE: Findings can therefore ascertain the potential role of occupational therapists in penitentiary institutions because they can contribute to the rehabilitation of prisoners both inside and outside prisons with a view to their reintegration into society.

设计/方法/方法：研究设计是使用五个不同数据库进行的系统评价。
因此，可以确定职业治疗师在监狱中的潜在作用，因为他们可以为囚犯在监狱内外的康复做出贡献，以期重新融入社会。
研究局限性/影响：这对于临床实践是必要的，特别是为了提高监狱内人们的健康水平，需要在文献中更新在监狱中有效的职业治疗师干预措施。
根据这项研究，职业治疗师在监狱环境中的干预措施减少了累犯，并有助于社会和工作重新融入。这在与监禁相关的成本方面具有积极影响。
原创性/价值：因此，可以确定职业治疗师在监狱中的潜在作用，因为他们可以为囚犯在监狱内外的康复做出贡献，以期重新融入社会。
