The rebuilding of Holloway Prison announced in 1968 was intended to
be of enormous significance for the treatment and therapeutic
rehabilitation of women inmates. Reconstruction began in 1970, but
the new prison was not completed until 1985, by which time penal
ideologies had changed. The prison department had revised its
conceptions of women's criminality, and what had been intended to
be a new therapeutic prison had become a place of conventional
discipline and containment. These developments created serious
problems within the prison and led to Holloway being identified as
a public and political scandal. Using original documents and
extensive interviews, the author traces the genesis and
consequences of the decision to rebuild England's major prison for
women, and shows how the experiment at Holloway reflects shifting
attitudes towards female criminals, and the relations between penal
ideology, architecture, control, and behaviour in a penal
establishment.
