The Evolving Protection of Prisoners' Rights in Europe explores the
development of the framing of penal and prison policies by the
European Court of Human Rights (ECHR), clarifying the European
expectations of national authorities, and describing the various
models existing in Europe, with a view to analysing their
mechanisms and highlighting those that seem the most suitable. A
new frame of penal and prison policies in Europe has been
progressively established by the ECHR and the Council of Europe
(CoE) to protect the rights of detainees in Europe. European
countries have reacted very diversely to these policies. This book
has several key benefits for readers: * A global and detailed
overview of the ECHR jurisprudence on penal and prison policies
through an analysis of its development over time. * An analysis of
the interactions between the Strasbourg Court and the CoE bodies
(Committee of Ministers, Committee for the Prevention of Torture
...) and their reinforced framing of domestic penal and prison
policies. * A detailed examination of the impacts of the European
case law on penal and prison policies within ten nation states in
Europe (including Romania which is currently very underresearched).
* A robust engagement with the diverse national reactions to this
European case law as a policy strategy. This book will be of great
interest to scholars and students of Law, Criminal Justice,
Criminology and Sociology. It will also appeal to civil servants
(judges, lawyers, etc.), professionals and policymakers working for
the CoE, the European Union, and the United Nations; Ministries of
Justice; prison departments; and human rights institutions, as well
as activists working for INGOs and NGOs.

The process of judicial control over institutions is often
described as growing socio-legal trend which impacts the
development of modern societies. This is particularly the case for
prisons and other penal institutions, as international bodies and
the courts have tried to influence prison policies since the 1960s.
This book addresses this dynamic situation by focusing on European
monitoring as a major influence on penal and prison policies
within, between and across nation states. Bringing together experts
from around Europe, this book actively contributes to debates and
analysis within penal and prison policy studies by shedding lights
on the impacts of monitoring, and demonstrates how the study of
penal and prison reform in different European countries can
contribute to building a clearer and more precise picture of
European legal systems. This book will be of interest to
researchers in the fields of prisons, penology and punishment, as
well as policymakers and professionals working for national
Ministries of Justice and for prison department and national human
rights institutions, as well as those working for INGOs and NGOs.

With the decline of public funding and new strategies pursued by
interest groups, foreign private foundations and donors have become
growing contributors to the European human rights justice system.
These groups have created their own litigation teams, have
increasingly funded NGOs litigating the European Courts, and have
contributed to the content and supervision of the European
judgements, which all have direct effects on the growth and
procedure of human rights. European Human Rights Justice and
Privatisation analyses the impacts of this private influence and
the resultant effects on international relations between states,
including the orientation of European jurisprudence towards Eastern
countries and the promotion of private and neo-liberal interests.
This book looks at the direct and indirect threat of this private
influence on the independency of the European justice and on the
protection of human rights in Europe.
