Coyle, A. (2003) "Humanity in prison: Questions of definition and audit"

Uploaded at: 2010. 03. 01.

 

London, King’s College, International Centre for Prison Studies, 86 p.

At times when prison services are under great strain, prison staff can be put under pressure to give a reduced priority to the basic human decencies. This publication has two main objectives. First, it provides a working definition of humanity in the treatment of people deprived of their liberty. Second, it suggests how the level of treatment with humanity can be measured in a prison setting. This document is intended to help prison staff to be clear about their responsibilities in this important area.
