The Prisoner

The past fifteen years have seen dramatic growth in imprisonment in the UK, yet our understanding of the lives and experiences of prisoners remains limited. Drawing on in-depth interviews with prisoners, this book aims to redress this by providing insight into various aspects of the lives of prisoners and their experiences of incarceration. Leading academic specialists provide concise and accessible analysis of the prisoners' comments, highlighting key issues and providing background and factual information. The proposed book will be useful to practitioners, students and a wider audience interested in criminal justice issues.
