By examining the present role of prison officers and the importance of staff-prisoner relationships, this book fills a significant gap in understanding the inner workings of prisons.

This updated edition brings the work up-to-date with the latest developments in the field, making it a valuable resource for those seeking to understand the realities of prison life and the crucial role played by prison officers within it.
