Doughty human rights crusader, Albert Mukong was incarcerated for six years in some of Cameroon's worst detention centres under the despotic regime of late President Amadou Ahidjo. This book details his personal account of the discipline and punishment that the Cameroonian state has systematically dished out to dissidents who have dared to stand their ground. Until his death in 2004, Albert Mukong was without doubt, Anglophone Cameroon's most conspicuous political prisoner, spokesperson and champion human rights advocate. The particular detention he recounts in this book is evidence of how nationalists such as Ruben Um Nyobe, Ernest Ouandie, Bishop Ndongmo and others, have in their struggles sacrificed enormously so that freedom and democracy might see the light of day in their reluctant Cameroon.

Excerpt from Chapters on Prisons and Prisoners, and the Prevention of Crime It would not have been difficult (at least in other hands) to make the subject more attractive to the lover of light reading. There is more romance in real life than is generally supposed, and there exist materials in abundance Within the walls of a prison, for the construction of the most exciting tales. To attempt, however, to gratify a taste of this kind would be, in the writer's judgment, to pander to a morbid appetite, and to plant with one hand some of the germs of criminality in the breasts of the young, whilst professing to eradicate them with the other. Therefore, only such facts are here referred to as seemed calculated from their truth, their painfulness, and their moral, to engage the healthful sympathies of the heart, and instruct as well as interest the mind. A Christian cannot trifle with the guilt or misery of his fellow-man. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Market society is producing more crime around the world. More acts are being defined as crimes. Ever increasing numbers of people are classified as criminals and more are being locked up in prison. With globalization, the crime and punishment problem is no longer insulated from pressures beyond national borders. The rich may retreat behind their expensive security into gated communities, but the poor are more and more at the mercy of criminals and corrupt policing. Yet, Vivien Stern argues, the trends towards more criminalization and more imprisonment are not making for more effective crime control or safer communities. This important book demonstrates that the prospects for the future are serious unless NGOs and reformers join in a new movement for reform that gives more control of justice policy back to communities and neighbourhoods.

Little of what we know about prison comes from the mouths of prisoners, and very few academic accounts of prison life manage to convey some of its most profound and important features: its daily pressures and frustrations, the culture of the wings and landings, and the relationships which shape the everyday experience of being imprisoned. The Prisoner aims to redress this by foregrounding prisoners’ own accounts of prison life in what is an original and penetrating edited collection. Each of its chapters explores a particular prisoner sub-group or an important aspect of prisoners’ lives, and each is divided into two sections: extended extracts from interviews with prisoners, followed by academic commentary and analysis written by a leading scholar or practitioner. This structure allows prisoners’ voices to speak for themselves, while situating what they say in a wider discussion of research, policy and practice. The result is a rich and evocative portrayal of the lived reality of imprisonment and a poignant insight into prisoners’ lives. The book aims to bring to life key penological issues and to provide an accessible text for anyone interested in prisons, including students, practitioners and a general audience. It seeks to represent and humanize a group which is often silent in discussions of imprisonment, and to shine a light on a world which is generally hidden from view.

Excerpt from Chapters on Prisons and Prisoners, and the Prevention of Crime This book has, thus far, been successful beyond the expectations of the writer. The incidents of criminal life interspersed through the various Chapters, have been described by literary reviewers, as "facts stranger than fiction," and more instructive; and its suggestions and information have found a favourable response amongst the intelligent and influential public. It has not, however, carried off the suffrages of all; "Omne tulit punctum, qui miscuit utile dulci." The professors of the modern science of penology, who advocate protracted and indiscriminate separate confinement, as the best hope of reclaiming criminals, consider it little short of a betrayal of the cause of Prison Reform. The well-meaning friends of total abstinence and compulsory temperance, look upon its silence respecting their plans for promoting national morals, naturally enough, with disapprobation. But most of all, do the disciples of Roman doctrine dislike it; and, it is to be feared, if they should now favour it with a perusal, they will dislike it more heartily.

Controversial Issues in Prisons is a textbook designed to explore eight of the most controversial aspects of imprisonment in England and Wales today. It is primarily a book about the people who are sent to prison and what happens to them when inside. Each chapter examines a different dimension of the prison population and draws upon the sociological imagination to make connections between the personal troubles and vulnerabilities of those incarcerated with wider structural divisions which plague the society we live in. The book investigates controversies surrounding the incarceration of people with mental health problems, women, children, foreign nationals, offenders’ with suicidal ideation, sex offenders, drug takers and the collateral consequences of incarceration on prisoners' families. Each chapter on these eight substantive topics shares a common structure and answers the following key questions: How have people conceptualised this penal controversy? What does the official data tell us and what are its limitations? What is its historical context? What are the contemporary policies of the Prison Service? Are they legitimate and, if not, what are the alternatives? Ultimately the authors argue that in combination these controversial issues raise fundamental concerns about the legitimacy of the confinement project and the kind of society in which it is deemed essential. The book concludes with a discussion of why it remains important to make penal controversies visible, challenge penological illiteracy and provide alternative means of responding to human wrongdoing rooted in the principles of human rights and social justice.
