Reviews

'Mathiesen makes an extremely significant contribution to the understanding of the prison community...' British Journal of Criminology 'Mathiesen exploits his material...with great skill and deserves to be widely read.' The Guardian '...(The book) offers a great deal of relevant and valuable discussion for the development of research into penal institutions in industrial societies.' Prison Service Journal 'The book is valuable for the light it sheds on the awkward relationship which exists between the custodial staff and the treatment experts in the prison.' The Law Journal
