Most prisoners in the UK are required to work. Yet prison work is a
relatively neglected subject in the existing literature on
imprisonment and few studies have focused on the nature of prison
work, prisoners' experience of it, and the extent to which it meets
the need of rehabilitating prisoners.
Prisoners' Work and Vocational Training sheds new light on this
crucial area in the work of prisons and examines:
*the nature of training received by prisoners
*the actual work they undertake
*how this relates to the world or work outside
*the role it plays in helping to secure employment on
release.
Frances Simon employs a balance of qualitative and quantitative
data, including first hand accounts from UK prisons, gathered
during field research. Her book will be essential reading for all
those studying criminology and prison studies and all professionals
working with prisoners, including probation officers and social
workers.
