This is a non-technical handbook on the evolution and current state of prisoners' rights in the U.S. The opening chapters use examples from Supreme Court and lower court rulings to show how legal conditions have operated to defeat gains for prisoners' rights. Chapters 2 and 3 outline the changes that allow prisoners to access the courts as a basic right. The need for correctional institutions to create behavioural and disciplinary policies for the protection of the administration and the inmates is then discussed, followed by chapters examining the problem of allowing basic human rights - living environments, labor rights, medical care, religious freedom, etc - to persons who have been judicially deprived of their freedom.

This book analyzes the development and current state of prisoners' rights in England and the U.S. It examines the differences in the legal and social systems that have resulted in unequal development, then discusses the provisions of the European Convention on Human Rights which can be used as a basis of comparison. In all three contexts, the main rights that are claimed rest on notions of inhuman and degrading treatment, involuntary servitude, access to courts and jurisdiction over prison matters, freedom of correspondence, freedom of religion, and property rights. In addition, two similarities between England and the United States are the judicial attitudes toward prisoners' claims and prisoners' rights of access to courts. However, English prisoners have access to a wider range of rights, because American prisoners are limited to Federally protected constitutional rights. Nevertheless, wide differences exist within the prison systems regarding how well prisoners' rights are protected. Finally, in both systems, judges have concentrated largely on procedural issues and have tended to neglect the major issues of substantive justice. (NCJRS, modified).

"In the early twentieth century, the brutality of southern prisons became a national scandal. Prisoners toiled in grueling, violent conditions while housed in crude dormitories on what were effectively slave plantations. This system persisted until the 1940s when, led by Texas, southern states adopted northern prison design reforms. However, the transition to penitentiary cells only made the endemic violence more secretive, and the reformers' efforts had only made things worse--now it was up to the prisoners to fight for change. Drawing from three decades of legal documents compiled by prisoners, Robert T. Chase narrates the struggle to change prison from within. Told from the vantage point of the prisoners themselves, this book highlights untold but devastatingly important truths about the histories of labor, civil rights, and politics in the United States"--
