Description
Prisoners: law and practice is a comprehensive guide to the law governing prisons with a strong focus on prisoner's rights and remedies. It critically analyses the duties the State has to those in detention and provides thorough coverage of all the relevant domestic and international case-law, legislation, policies and guidance. Prisoners: law and practice is set out in an accessible and practical way. The book follows the path of a prisoner through the custodial process from reception at prison, through the issues of categorisation and allocation, prison conditions, rights while detained and through to the various mechanisms for release. The routes for challenging adverse decisions are mentioned in the context in which they arise as well as a thorough chapter on the remedies available to prisoners. Relevant law is reproduced in the appendices Prisoners: law and practice is essential reading for lawyers, advisers and prisoners and their families. With focus on the practice as well as the law, this book is also a valuable guide for all those working in prisons and for the Prison Service and related bodies.
