Understanding prisons and the policies surrounding them is of
fundamental importance to students and practitioners of criminology
and related fields. This concise and accessible guide offers a
compendium of key information, theories, concepts, research and
policy, presenting a rounded and critical overview of the prison
system in England and Wales. Covering the historical and
contemporary context of prisons, the text guides the reader through
prison life as experienced by different groups such as women, the
work of prison officers and a tour of international prisons. Each
chapter features key learning items: * an overview and summary; *
learning outcomes; * end of chapter questions; * definitions of key
terms and concepts; * examples and illustrative case studies; *
summary boxes of key research studies and further reading. Focusing
on the experiences of stakeholder groups and the themes of power,
legitimacy and rehabilitation, the book concludes with an overview
of the future challenges for prisons.
