This guide to prisons, remand centres and young offenders institutions in England and Wales was written by a former prisoner with first-hand experience, as an inmate, of more than 50 of Britain's prisons. The prison-by-prison detail has been compiled from official reports supplemented by questionnaire replies from inmates and staff. It includes practical information on each establishment: visiting hours; workshops; education; chaplaincy; medical services and sports facilities. Further sections provide advice on useful organizations, foreign prisoners, health problems, financial matters, welfare, religion, discharge grants, release, women prisoners and young offenders.

Health in Prisons

Based on the experience of many countries in the WHO European Region and the advice of experts, this guide outlines some of the steps prison systems should take to reduce the public health risks from compulsory detention in often unhealthy situations, to care for prisoners in need and to promote the health of prisoners and prison staff. This requires that everyone working in prisons understand how imprisonment affects health, what prisoners' health needs are, and how evidence-based health services can be provided for everyone needing treatment, care and prevention in prison. Other essential elements are being aware of and accepting internationally recommended standards for prison health; providing professional care with the same adherence to professional ethics as in other health services; and, while seeing individual needs as the central feature of the care provided, promoting a whole-prison approach to care and promoting the health and well-being of people in custody.

Tracing Your Prisoner of War Ancestors

The experience of civilian internees and British prisoners of war in German and Turkish hands during the First World War is one of the least well-known - and least researched - aspects of the history of the conflict. The same applies to prisoners of war and internees held in the UK. Yet, as Sarah Paterson shows in this authoritative handbook, a wide-range of detailed and revealing information is available if you know where to look for it. Briefly she outlines the course of the campaigns in which British servicemen were captured, and she describes how they were treated and the conditions they endured. She locates the camps they were taken to and explains how they were run. She also shows how ...

Guide to the Criminal Prisons of Nineteenth-Century England

The penal system in nineteenth-century England was incredibly complicated. It comprised two types of prison: convict prisons and local prisons. While convict prisons were under the direct control of the Home Office, local prisons were, until the 1877 Prison Act, managed by a whole host of different local authorities, from counties and boroughs to liberties and even cathedrals. Moreover, included among convict prisons were penitentiaries, public works prisons and prison hulks (also known as floating prisons), while local prisons included gaols, bridewells and lock-ups. This complexity has led to a raft of studies of individual institutions. Nevertheless, big gaps in our knowledge remain. Simp...
