Incarceration and Human Rights : The Oxford Amnesty Lectures Paperback / softback
Edited by Melissa McCarthy
Part of the Oxford Amnesty Lectures series
Paperback / softback
Description
A collection of essays and responses from diverse contributors united in original examination of the intersection between incarceration and human rights.
What do human rights concerns dictate about the practices that we tolerate in places of incarceration? And conversely, what can prisons, their hard facts and the ideas underpinning them, tell us about human rights?The book offers a diversity of voices: from the inside view of Her Majesty’s Inspector of Prisons to the words of a poet and former political prisoner; from an international policy overview of abuses of the mentally ill to a socio-economic reading of race and class in prisons.
This range of approaches offers a uniquely rounded view of the topic, while each contributor’s eminence in their field gives great depth of expertise. -- .
