If Prison Worked: Justice and Reform - Paperback

by Sue Wood (Author)

Dostoyevsky said that "The degree of civilisation in a society can be judged by entering its prisons". In this book Sue Wood invites you to enter some prisons with her and discover how it is that our prison system and our criminal justice system are both completely broken. If prison worked reoffending would be negligible and our prisons would be empty. If prison worked we would not be imprisoning more people than any other country in Western Europe. If prison worked there would be work or education for every prisoner. The UK prison system is in crisis and the shocking facts are all here.
