Prisoners' Work and Vocational Training


Add your own review!

Overview

Most prisoners in the UK are required to work. This text aims to present information on this area in the rehabilitative work of prisons. It examines: the nature of training received by prisoners; the actual work they undertake; how this relates to the world or work outside; and the role it plays in helping to secure employment on release. The author employs a balance of qualitative and quantitative data, including accounts from UK prisons, gathered during field research.
