Riassunto

Now in its third edition, Prison Law is the leading text in its field. It offers comprehensive coverage of the law and the remedies available to prisoners, including complaints procedures, civil claims, judicial review, and claims under the Human Rights Act. Both domestic and international avenues of redress are explained in detail. The book covers all aspects of prison life, from categorization and allocation, to living conditions, access to the outside world, transfer and repatriation, discipline, and the procedures governing the release of fixed term prisoners and those serving life sentences. The book offers fully up to date coverage of relevant domestic decisions under the Human Rights Act, as well as the caselaw of the European Court of Human Rights. The Prison Rules 1999 are explained and analysed, as are the far-reaching decisions of the European Court of Human Rights on the mandatory life sentence and the prison discipline system. It concludes with a new section reviewing current trends in penal practice. Critical analysis and historical perspective are combined with up to date and practical guidance to provide a book which will be invaluable to both practitioners and academics.

Su questo libro

Recensione:

Each and every prison library should contain this book. It is a neverending source of information and even inspiration and, even if it does not quite make the 'essential reading' list, then it should certainly be on the 'essential reference book' list. (Prison Service Journal)

Save perhaps, for The Prisons Handbook, there is not a publication on my bookshelves more referred to than Prison Law. (Prison Service Journal)
