Prisoners' Rights: Principles and Practice considers prisoners'
rights from socio-legal and philosophical perspectives, and
assesses the advantages and problems of a rights-based approach to
imprisonment. At a time of record levels of imprisonment and
projected future expansion of the prison population, this work is
timely. The discussion in this book is not confined to a formal
legal analysis, although it does include discussion of the
developing jurisprudence on prisoners' rights. It offers a
socio-legal rather than a purely black letter approach, and focuses
on the experience of imprisonment. It draws on perspectives from a
range of disciplines to illuminate how prisoners' rights operate in
practice. The text also contributes to debates on imprisonment and
citizenship, the treatment of women prisoners, and social
exclusion. This book will be of interest to both undergraduate and
postgraduate students of penology and criminal justice, as well as
professionals working within the penal system.
