What Are Prisons For?

Themes and perspectives for policy and practice

Hindpal Singh Bhui argues that we need to look at who is sent to prison and why to disentangle reality from ideology and myth.

Including the voices of prisoners, prison staff and victims, he asks whether prison is an institution for managing marginalized people, or if there is a better way to achieve the socially useful goals of prisons.
