Prisons and imprisonment have become a commonplace topic in popular
culture as the setting and rationale for fiction and documentaries
and most people seem to have a clear notion of what it is like in
prison, ranging from the idea of the prison cell as a cosy nook
with fast internet access to that of a dungeon with a hard bed and
a diet of bread and water. But what is prison really like? Do
prisoners have the same rights as everyone else? What are the
similarities and differences between prisons in different European
countries? This book answers all of these questions, whilst also
presenting cutting-edge research on the living conditions of
long-term prisoners in Europe and considering whether these
conditions meet international human rights standards. Bringing
together leading experts in the field, with comprehensive coverage
of the issues in Belgium, Croatia, Denmark, England, Finland,
France, Germany, Lithuania, Poland, Spain and Sweden, this book
offers the first comparative study on the subject. Whereas past
research in this area has concentrated on the Anglo-American
experience, this book offers a truly comparative European approach
and pays due attention to the differences in prison systems between
the post-Soviet countries and continental Europe. This book will be
key reading for academics and students of criminology, criminal
justice and penology and will also be of interest to students and
practitioners of law.
