Making prisons humane places where rehabilitation is possible is a constant challenge for staff, governors and policy makers in the UK and internationally.  The state of prisons in England and Wales is currently of such concern that the Prisons Minister Rory Stewart has vowed to resign if the violence in prison does not improve.

The featured article from our back catalogue is by Sir Martin Narey who at the time was Chief Executive of the National Offender Management Service responsible for prisons and probation. His call for prisons to be places where prisoners are treated with decency, where they can be safe and where rehabilitation can occur is as relevant today as it was then.

Sir Martin will be giving a free public lecture on 19th March in Manchester on the links between care, custody and alcohol in child neglect.
