The Failed Political Experiment

• Gebundenes Buch

This book examines the impact of austerity on healthcare delivery in English prisons. It argues that austerity has been a political experiment that has caused debt to balloon, eroded the prison health system and perpetuated a cycle of punishment, resulting in sicker prisoners and violating prisoners' human rights.
