Opis

This volume aims to provoke reflection on the English conception and treatment of prisoners' rights, through juxtaposition with the conception of prisoners' rights in Germany. First, the German and English understandings of prisoners' legal status are examined; secondly these understandings are placed against the background of broader social, political, and legal factors; and thirdly, the methodological problems of comparative law are addressed.

Recenzje

..her [the author's] discussion of prisoner's legal rights in Germany is exhilarating. It powerfully reminds us that serious offenders do not have to be treated as subhuman beings to whom little is owed. And it sets the stage for further normative inquiry into what they are owed and how best to ensure that they receive it.
