Product Description

The focus of this book is prison policy and prisoners’ rights. Prison policy has been central to IPPF concerns throughout the Foundation’s history and frequently discussed, but the issues that are of the most pressing importance do not remain the same. Prisoners’ rights have been considered and studied much more rarely in international fora and this colloquium has enabled participants to benefit from presentations covering several aspects of this subject which is of increasing national and international interest.
