This book makes public, for the first time, a full account of the
development of the privatization of prisons, centred on the only
full-scale empirical study yet to have been undertaken in Britain.
After providing an up-to-date overview of the development of
private sector involvement in penal practice in the United Kingdom,
North America, Europe and Australia, the authors go on to describe
the first two years in the life of Wolds Remand Prison - the first
private prison in Britain. They look at the daily life for remand
prisoners, assess the duties and morale of staff and compare the
workings of Wolds to a new local prison in the public sector. The
authors conclude by discussing some of the practical and
theoretical issues to have emerged from contracting out, ethical
issues surrounding the whole privatization debate and implications
for the future of the prison system and penal policy.
