In recent years European prison law and policy have emerged as a
force to be reckoned with. This book explores its development and
analyzes the penological and human rights foundations on which it
is based. It examines the findings of the European Committee for
the Prevention of Torture, the recommendations of the Council of
Europe, and the judgments of the European Court of Human Rights.
From these sources it makes explicit the general principles that
underlie European prison law and policy, emphasizing the principle
of using imprisonment as a last resort and the recognition of
prisoners' rights. The book then moves on to apply these principles
to conditions of imprisonment, regimes in prison, contacts between
prisoners and the outside world, and the maintenance of good order
in prisons.
In the final chapter the book considers how European prison law
and policy could best be advanced in future. The authors argue that
the European Court of Human Rights should adopt a more proactive
approach to ensuring that imprisonment is used only as a last
resort, and that a more radical interpretation of the existing
provisions of the European Convention of Human Rights will allow it
to do so. It concludes that the growing cooperation on prison
matters within Europe bodes well for the increased recognition of
prisoners' rights across Europe. In spite of some countervailing
voices, Europe should increasingly be able to give an international
lead in a human rights approach to prison law and policy in the
same way as it has done with the abolition of the death penalty.
