Prisons and Punishment provides a critical introduction to the main
debates and dilemmas associated with prisons, imprisonment and
punishment, and will acquaint readers with the most interesting and
influential literature that has shaped the field. The three-volume
set of original classic and contemporary readings is designed to
introduce readers to the history and development of prisons, to
contemporary theories and issues relating to prison populations, to
sociological and psychological literature on the 'effects'
of imprisonment, to debates about the management and privatisation
of the prison estate and to controversial issues and emerging
trends in punishment across the globe. Prisons and Punishment is
particularly timely because of the exponentially growing prison
populations in many countries and because of new cultures of
control which are criminalizing increasing numbers of people and
creating a crisis in the penal system. Volume 1 The Meaning of the
Prison: Punishment in an Historical and Comparative Context
outlines the emergence of the modern prison and explores differing
contemporary models of imprisonment in various parts of the world.
Volume 2 Prisoners and Prison Communities explores the pervasive
characteristics and 'effects' of imprisonment from
sociological and psychological perspectives. It discusses life in
prison for all its occupants, and also considers the effects of
imprisonment on prisoners' families. Volume 3 Punishment:
Controversial Issues and Emerging Debates examines prisons in
market societies, covering recent moves towards increasing
managerialism and greater accountability, prison inspection and
human rights issues. It looks at some of the most controversial
issues and problems blighting prison systems around the world and
discusses the notion of a 'carceral society'. Prisons and
Punishment is the definitive tool with which to navigate the fields
of penology and prison studies. Each volume in this definitive set
includes an introduction by the editor.
