Making proper use of 'proper prisons'?

This briefing, published by the University of Birmingham and the University of Bath, in partnership with the Howard League for Penal Reform, explores the need for a clear strategy on the role, purpose and future of Victorian prisons.

It calls for the development of a comprehensive strategy for prisons, which articulates a clear and appropriate purpose for the Victorian estate within a modernising and significantly reduced prison system.

It is based on findings from the Persistence of the Victorian Prison project, which explores implications of the continued operation of Victorian-era prisons.
