This book is a collection of essays and responses from diverse
contributors united in original examination of the intersection
between incarceration and human rights. What do human rights
concerns dictate about the practices that we tolerate in places of
incarceration? And conversely, what can prisons, their hard facts
and the ideas underpinning them, tell us about human rights? The
book offers a diversity of voices: from the inside view of Her
Majesty's Inspector of Prisons to the words of a poet and former
political prisoner; from an international policy overview of abuses
of the mentally ill to a socio-economic reading of race and class
in prisons. This range of approaches offers a uniquely rounded view
of the topic, while each contributor's eminence in their field
gives great depth of expertise.
