How do governments and societies use prison to respond to
underlying and fundamental social, economic and political issues?
Using data on world imprisonment and numerous international
examples from his personal experience, Coyle, a prison
practitioner, academic and international expert, discusses the
failings of prison around the world. Acknowledging the influence of
external agencies, such as the Committee for the Prevention of
Torture, the Inter-American Court of Human Rights and court
interventions in the use of solitary confinement, he offers some
positive pointers for the future and how there might be a better
distribution of resources between criminal justice and social
justice by an application of the principles of Justice
Reinvestment.
