Grendon: A Study of a Therapeutic Prison (Clarendon Studies in Criminology)

By Elaine Genders and Elaine Player

Opened in Britain in 1962 to investigate and treat prisoners whose crimes had a clear psychiatric cause, Grendon Prison promulgated radical ideas of rehabilitation through psychological and psychotherapeutic treatment that have been embraced by the influential Woolf Report. Drawing on interviews with prisoners and prison staff, this study of a "model" prison will interest criminologists, penologists, and prison staff worldwide.
