Race Relations in Prisons

by Elaine Genders, Elaine Player

This pioneering study looks at the history of race relations policy in British prisons and the ways in which approaches to immigration and race relations legislation have influenced attitudes toward race relations. Providing an in-depth focus on three institutions and the personal experiences
of their staffs and inmates, the book examines racial stereotypes in prisons, problems of and responses to discrimination, impediments to future improvements in race relations, and possible reforms.
