Release from prison is matter of increasing interest throughout
Europe. On the one hand, arguments about the need to reduce prison
numbers, as well the consistent findings that prisoners can be
integrated into society more effectively if they are subject to a
period of supervision in the community, have made early release
policies attractive to governments and to academic commentators. On
the other hand, there are concerns that early release may not be
applied fairly to all prisoners. This book aims to meet the need
for comparative information on release from prison across Europe
and explores some of the key themes and issues. The body of the
book focuses on country perspectives, providing an invaluable
survey of the situation in a number of European countries. The
introductory and concluding chapters place the comparative material
in a broader perspective. They explain how release policy is
related to wider questions about justice and fairness in
prison-related decision-making and the changing place of
imprisonment in European society.
