Prisons and the Voluntary Sector

This key work edited by three experts and containing contributions by a range of informed commentators will set the standard - and is likely to be in demand for the details it contains to enable both parties to understand what is involved, the History of voluntary work in prisons - which dates back several hundred years - and how to set about devising a scheme or promoting an idea. It gives practical advice and points to the pitfalls and likely difficulties - and contains in an appendix a directory of existing voluntary work organizations with experience of working in or alongside prisons.
