This book explores and addresses body search practices in prison
environments from different angles (criminology, sociology, human
rights and law) and discusses such practices in different national
contexts within Europe. Body searches are widely used in prison
systems across the globe: they are perceived as indispensable to
prevent forbidden substances, weapons or communication devices from
entering the prison. However, these are also invasive and
potentially degrading control techniques. It should not come as a
surprise, then, that body searches are deeply contested security
measures and that they have been widely debated and regulated. What
makes theses control measures problematic in a prison context? How
do these practices come to be regulated in an international and
European context? How are rules translated into national law? To
what extent are laws and rules respected, bent, circumvented and
denied? And what does the future hold for body searches?
