Ten years ago there were no faith-based units in prisons outside
South America. Today, they are spreading all over the world,
including the United States, Europe and the Commonwealth. My
Brother's Keeper is the first major study of a global phenomenon.
Exploring the roots of faith-based units in South America, it
explains why the Prison Service of England and Wales set up the
first Christian-based unit in the western world in 1997 - and its
rapid expansion. It also explains how, at exactly the same time,
the United States introduced Christian-based units - and why they
were complimented by interfaith and multifaith initiatives. At the
heart of My Brother's Keeper is an interior account of life inside
four Christian-based prison units in England. It draws on the
findings of a detailed evaluation conducted by the authors for the
Home Office, Prison Service and Kainos Community between 2000 and
2001, including an updated reconviction study. It is an
authoritative account of an innovative programme. Its analysis of
what works and what doesn't in faith-based units around the world
makes My Brother's Keeper a valuable roadmap for all who care about
improving prison conditions. It presents a vision of justice that
is not just concerned with building more prisons but with
rebuilding more prisoners. It argues that by making prisons more
human and punishment more humane, faith-based units can be of value
- and keep faith in prisons.

A special birthday deserves a special birthday treat! Olivia has
just turned ten-years-old. Her father takes her to London for a fun
day out in the big city. As they begin their journey on the London
Underground, Olivia spots an intriguing looking man who is carrying
a little square box on his lap. Curious by nature, she is stunned
to discover that the man is famous in London and that he goes by
the name `Giraffe Box Jorge'. Excited by what the man might be
doing and where he is off to with his little box, Olivia persuades
her father to leave the train when Jorge does - and so their race
across London begins. A race that sees them follow Jorge to Downing
Street, the Tate Modern Gallery and eventually to Canary Wharf
where Giraffe Box Jorge runs "The World's only Miniature Zoo". But
they are stopped in their tracks when they realise that they've
been discovered...
