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.Owen, Tim is the author of 'Prison Law: Text and Materials', published 1994 under ISBN 9780198762645 and ISBN 019876264X.
