Grendon a Study of a Therapeutic Prison Hardcover - 1995
by Elaine Genders; Elaine Player
From the rear cover
This book offers a detailed study of the therapeutic regime at Grendon Underwood Prison. Opened in 1962 as an experiment in the psychological treatment of prisoners, it has survived several changes in policy and direction within the prison system and it accommodates some of the most serious offenders and difficult prisoners in the country. The book is based on a path-breaking empirical study and provides convincing evidence of the effectiveness of the Grendon regime. In the prevailing political climate, where attitudes to imprisonment have been determined by principles of just desserts, this study of a rehabilitative alternative will make an important and timely contribution to the wider debates about the purpose of imprisonment and current trends in criminal justice.
