Medical Educators Must Acknowledge the External Curriculum
To the Editor: The proliferation of online and board preparation resources has provided medical students with more ways than ever to learn medicine outside the classroom. Online videos, United States Medical Licensing Examination preparatory materials, and digital flashcard repositories are among the staples of current learning. These external resources are universally known and used and are deemed “high yield” for the purposes of board exam prep…
Imprisonment Worldwide: The Current Situation and an Alternative Future
Providing a comprehensive account of prison populations worldwide, this new work links prison statistics from the last fifteen years with considerations of how prisons and prison populations are managed. It is a major contribution to the knowledge of those currently debating prisons and the use of imprisonment
Current trends and practices in the use of imprisonment
This article charts the rapid rise in the use of imprisonment in recent decades before considering some of the most pressing issues of concern in the use of imprisonment today. First among these is prison overcrowding, which continues to blight the record of many countries in their treatment of prisoners. To illustrate the potentially dire consequences of overcrowding – a problem common to many other countries and regions – an account is given of…
Prison Governors: Managing Prisons in a Time of Change by S. Bryans
Cullompton : Willan ( 2007 ) 213pp. £35.00hb ISBN 978-1-843922-23-0 Until the last decade or so of the 20th Century it was possible to describe the prison as one of the secret places in modern society. As an institution it rarely came to public attention other than on the few occasions when there was a scandal, such as a high-profile escape or a riot. This is no longer the case. Hardly a day goes past without some reference to prisons in the medi…
Prison Privatisation in the African Context
The use of prison as a direct punishment of the court is a relatively modern phenomenon. It began in the 17th and 18th century, principally in Western Europe and North America, and over the succeed
Capital Punishment: Strategies for Abolition
What are the critical factors that determine whether a country replaces, retains or restores the death penalty? Why do some countries maintain the death penalty in theory but in reality rarely invoke it? By asking these questions, the editors hope to isolate the core issues that influence the formulation of legislation so that they can be incorporated into strategies for advising governments considering changes to their policy on capital punishme…
The role of the prison in new Britain
The prison system which we have at present in England and Wales is less than perfect. It costs the taxpayer almost £2 billion each year. There is ambivalence about the extent to which it protects society and contributes to crime prevention. The conditions in which prisoners are held are frequently described as being either too austere or too luxurious. One has to ask to what extent the traditional model of imprisonment remains relevant at the end…
The Responsible Prisoner: Rehabilitation Revisited 1
This paper was first delivered to a meeting of the Howard League in Scotland in March 1991. The Scottish tradition of imprisonment has always betrayed a healthy scepticism about the reforming value of imprisonment in itself, recognising that it is primarily a punishment which consists of the deprivation of liberty. The rehabilitation of the prisoner is likely to come about, if at all, as a result of personal change. Future recidivism is likely to…
The Management of Dangerous and Difficult Prisoners
The problem of how to manage those prisoners who refuse to conform to standard prison rules and regulations has received considerable attention recently, particularly in Britain and in North America. This article describes some of the strategies adopted in Canada and the United States and contrasts them with developments in Scotland. It concludes that there should be a prior statement of the objective of any alternative unit for this type of pris…
