摘要：Restorative justice is an approach in justice system introduced as the result of insufficiency in the criminal justice. It aims to compensate the damage to the victim and notify the offender of his action’s outcome. This paper aims to examine the prisoners’ attitude towards the application of restorative justice programs and also the impact of psychological capital on the prisoners. The method of study is a survey, and the measurement tool is a questionnaire. The statistical population includes the male prisoners in Tabriz prison in 2010 that numbered 2500. Of these, 333 prisoners were chosen based on simple random sampling method. The data were analyzed using SPSS software (16). The results show that there is a strong, direct and positive relationship between self-esteem and self-efficacy, internal locus of control and the application of restorative justice programs on the prisoners. Therefore, the independent variables could explain about 14% of the variance in the dependent variable. Through performing many different programs and getting the help of the mass media and chancellors, holding psychology- based conferences, government and non-government agencies; we can directly and indirectly increase the confidence of the prisoners and mainly encourage them towards restorative justice.
