Prison Law: Text and Materials

The law governing the administration of prisons and prisoners' rights is not separate from the mainstream of English law. It consists of a body of rules and regulations drawn from other recognized legal categories including constitutional, civil liberties, and administrative law. Because this area of law has not been well defined, work in this domain has been complicated and plagued with problems of access to materials and the full process of the law. Prison Law analyzes the relevant law and conveniently brings together the essential legal texts in this emerging field of law, providing an important reference for students and practitioners.

The prison system of England and Wales has undergone significant change since the mid 1970s. The High Court has extended its jurisdiction to intervene in all aspects of prison life, spurred on by decisions of the European Court of Human Rights. The Woolf Report, produced in response to the 1990 prison riots, has succeeded in defining the agenda for reform into the next century. The introduction of 'contracted-out' prisons and the move to Executive Agency status for the Prison Service has led to a radical change in the culture of the Service after a century of existing as a traditional, public sector monopoly subject to close Ministerial control.Prison Law: Text and Materials is the first comprehensive work to address the law of imprisonment and the legal position of prisoners in England and Wales. As well as providing an exhaustive narrative of the existing law as it affects all aspects of imprisonment, it offers a critical analysis of the relationship between law and prisons with comparisons drawn from the American prison system and the law of the European Court of Human Rights. It also includes in seven Appendices all the essential statutory and non-statutory materials required for a full understanding of the legal and administrative framework regulating prison life, including previously unpublished Circular Instructions and Standing Orders.

Prison Law

Prison Law offers comprehensive coverage of the substantive law, the Prison Rules, and the remedies available to prisoners-- including complaints procedures, civil claims, judicial review, and claims under the Human Rights Act. Both domestic and international avenues of redress are explained in detail. The book covers all aspects of prison life, from categorization and allocation to living conditions, access to the outside world, transfer and repatriation, discipline, and the procedures governing the release of fixed term prisoners and those serving life sentences. The new edition has been completely revised and updated to take account of relevant decisions under the Human Rights Act and at the European Court of Human Rights. The changes to the life sentence regime and the prison disciplinary system, implemented since publication of the previous edition, have been fully addressed, and a new chapter on children and young people in detention focuses on the unique legal challenges presented by this class of prisoners. Critical analysis is combined with practical guidance to make Prison Law immensely useful to practitioners, academics, and everyone with a professional interest in crime and punishment.

Now in its third edition, Prison Law is the leading text in its field. It offers comprehensive coverage of the law and the remedies available to prisoners, including complaints procedures, civil claims, judicial review, and claims under the Human Rights Act. Both domestic and international avenues of redress are explained in detail. The book covers all aspects of prison life, from categorization and allocation, to living conditions, access to the outside world, transfer and repatriation, discipline, and the procedures governing the release of fixed term prisoners and those serving life sentences.

This book applies Owen’s unique genetic-social framework to the study of crime and criminal behaviour, with an emphasis on cybercrime. Moving beyond challenges which confront contemporary criminological theorizing such as: the stagnation of critical criminology, the relativistic nihilism of the ‘cultural turn’, posthumanism, and virtual criminology, the author codifies and ‘applies’ the latest version of the framework to the study of crime, both in and out of cyberspace. Drawing upon evolutionary psychology, behavioural genetics and the philosophy of Heidegger, he introduces new terms such as ‘Neuro-Agency’ and notions of Embodied Cognition into criminological theorizing. Adopting a soft compatibilist approach to free-will, and Realist ontology, Owen’s meta-theoretical focus provides a new direction for criminological theorizing, in particular in the direction of the conceptualization and prediction of cyber violence. Exciting and timely, this book will appeal to scholars and advanced students of criminology, law, sociology, social policy, psychology, philosophy, policing and forensic investigation.

Three Dads Walking: 3 Miles of Hope

'We were (and are) three ordinary dads who found ourselves in a desperate place we never expected to be, engulfed by pain and suffering beyond imagining. We were men who chose to build something positive from the shattered pieces of our lives. We wanted to do something and this is what it became ... what we became.' In memory of their young daughters - Sophie, Beth and Emily - who took their own lives, three dads set out on a 300 mile journey across Britain, from the windswept Lakeland fells and Peak District dales to the open plains of the Eastern fens. Putting one foot in front of the other, they captured the hearts of the nation; laughing together, crying together, fighting to be heard. This book, built around personal diary entries, grew from a place of great grief and loss, but is also about the power of speaking out, of friendship and hope (and blisters). The 3 Dads bear a heavy load, but they walk on for us all, finding light in the wild after the darkest times.

No Excuses! The power of self-discipline by Brian Tracy is a wonderful guide on how to strengthen your self-discipline, and how it can benefit many aspects of your life, such as finances, career, health and relationships.    The original is over three hundred pages long, and the author uses verbosity to reinforce some of the principles. If you want practical advice without the tedium of subliminal reinforcement, these cliff notes neatly summarize the key points to get your life on track.
