Originally published in 1976, A Taste of Prison deals with a very
sensitive area of concern in the system of trial and imprisonment
in Britain at the time. It describes the conditions at Winchester
Prison and Winchester Remand Centre for both adults and young
persons who were held in custody before trial or who were awaiting
sentence. Despite the fact that many of these persons would not
subsequently be sent to prison by the courts, the conditions they
experienced were in many respects no better and in some respects
worse than those for persons sentenced to imprisonment. Moreover,
as this study shows, the special provisions for these persons
embodied in the Prison Rules and Standing Orders of the Prison
Department often meant little in practice – either because they
remained unaware of their rights or because they were unable to
take them up for various reasons. The authors discuss the function
of remands in custody within a changing prison system, analyse
recent trends in the numbers of persons received into the prison
system on remand, and assess their contribution to the prison
population. The implications of the findings are discussed in the
context of the prison building programme and the uses to which
existing buildings could be put. Finally, the authors make a number
of proposals for the improvement of the regime for remand
prisoners.
