Introduction to Prisons and Imprisonment
With a Foreword by Lord Hurd of Westwell CH, CBE, PC (former British Home Secretary and later Foreign Secretary)
This excellent addition to the Waterside Press Introductory Series includes easy to read chapters on:
o The History of Imprisonment in England and Wales
o Prison Conditions
o The Prison Population; and
o Prison Regimes from Reception to Discharge.
Together with a wealth of other basic information about prisons and imprisonment. An ideal introduction for people wanting a general outline. 160 pages.
Produced under the auspices of the Prison Reform Trust (to whom all royalties are payable)
About the author:
Nick Flynn is deputy director of the Prison Reform Trust and has written widely on prison education and American sentencing policy. His background is in training, employment and urban regeneration issues.
Note: For readers looking for detailed information about prisons and imprisonment, The Prisons Handbook contains an A to Z of the prisons of England and Wales and a mass of information for practitioners and other people - including prisoners - who need greater detail than in provided by Introduction to Prisons and Imprisonment. However, the introductory book is still recommended to such readers in addition as useful aide memoir and solid library resource.
