A collection of essays and responses from diverse contributors united in an 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? Conversely, what can prisons, their hard facts, and the ideas underpinning them tell us about human rights?
Incarceration and Human Rights 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 provides a uniquely rounded view of the topic, while each contributor's eminence in their field offers great depth of expertise.
