Corruption is a problem in prisons about which we hear very little,
except when there is an escape from custody or other scandal that
makes the media. The closed nature of correctional institutions has
made the activities that go on within them less visible to the
outside world. While some persons might be inclined to dismiss
correctional corruption as an issue, this view ignores the scale of
criminality and misconduct that can go on in prison and the impact
it can have upon not just the good order of the prison or the
rights of prisoners but on the prospects for successful
reintegration of ex-prisoners into society. This book is the first
to examine the phenomenon in any detail or to suggest what might be
done to reduce its incidence and the harms that can arise from it.
Andrew Goldsmith, Mark Halsey and Andrew Groves argue that it is
not enough to tackle corruption alone. Rather there should be a
broader attempt to promote what the authors call 'correctional
integrity'.
