Abstract

Prison On Trial is the classic critique of prisons and imprisonment: a book for everyone's shelf. For anyone seeking to understand the modern penchant for locking-up ever more people, it distils the arguments for and against incarceration in a readable, accessible and authoritative way - gaining in status each time prison populations increase across large parts of the world.
