The Prisons Handbook 1997/98

Written by a former prisoner and acclaimed writer, the core of this book is a guide to the prisons of England and Wales compiled using reports from the Inspector of Prisons and questionnaires completed by prisoners and prison staff. Each prison is examined in detail, giving the reader a clear picture of the facilities available, including visiting hours, workshops, chaplaincy and medical services, wages, education, and sports facilities. Further sections provide advice on legal rights, health problems, welfare and religious matters, discharge grants and release. This work will be of interest to anyone who works with prisoners, and to prisoners and their families.Leech, Mark is the author of 'The Prisons Handbook 1997/98', published 1997 under ISBN 9780198259602 and ISBN 0198259603.
