爱刑人特许权,是受刑人权利发展到一定历史阶段后,监狱学界提出的一个权利概念。该概念的提出与发展,对监狱丰富现有的改造受刑人的手段、激励受刑人积极接受改造等方面,在理论上提供了一个新的思路。一、受刑人特许权的含义特许权,英文是 Privilege,其含义为不同于其他公民所享有的,而由某个人、组织或者阶级、阶层所单独享有的利益或者好处,是一种特殊而非普遍的权利(或者权力)。国内学界对特许权有两种不同的观点:一种观点认为,特许权的主体,是监狱及其工作人员。另一种观点认为,受刑人的权利包括两个方面,一是法律明确赋予的权利,二是受刑人特许权。即特许权与法定权共同构成服刑人员的下位概念。很明显,第一部分学者主张的特许权是公权力。笔者更倾向于第二种观点,理由为:第一,通过受刑人的特许权,比如与配偶的同居权,可以折射出监狱管理部门的权力范围;第二,特许权享有主体是受刑人时.才能将特许权的利益价值体现出来,即它能给受刑人带来某种利益;第三,权利(力)应主要是弱者的权 Love the criminal concession, is the rights of criminals developed to a certain historical stage, the prison scholars put forward a concept of rights.

First, the meaning of the concessionaire franchise Franchise, English is Privilege, its meaning is different from other citizens enjoy, and by a person, organization or class, class alone enjoy the benefits or benefits, is a special rather than Universal rights (or powers). Domestic scholars have two different views on the franchise: One view is that the subject of the concession is the prison and its staff. Another view is that the rights of the inmates include two aspects, one is the right clearly given by law and the other is the concession of the torturer. That concession and statutory power together constitute the concept of subordinate prisoners. Obviously, the first part of the scholars advocate concession is public power. The author prefers the second view for the following reasons: First, through the concession of the torturer, such as the cohabitation rights with his spouse, it can reflect the scope of power of the prison administration; second, when the concessionaire is the victim . Only in this way can the interest value of the concession be manifested, that is, it can bring certain benefits to the torturer. Thirdly, the rights (power) should be mainly the rights of the weaker
