Summary : During the first Palestinian uprising in 1990, Jeffrey Goldberg – an American Jew – served as a guard at the largest prison camp in Israel. One of his prisoners was Rafiq, a rising leader in the PLO. Overcoming their fears and prejudices, the two men began a dialogue that, over more than a decade, grew into a remarkable friendship. Now an award-winning journalist, Goldberg describes their relationship and their confrontations over religious, cultural, and political differences; through these discussions, he attempts to make sense of the conflicts in this embattled region, revealing the truths that lie buried within the animosities of the Middle East.

Summary : Excerpt from Prisons and Prisoners: Some Personal Experiences In the year 1906 my godmother, Lady Bloomfield, died. She had shown me much kindness and I had never found an Opportunity to serve her in any way, the generosity had been all on her side yet, at her death, she left me some money, without any conditions as to how I should spend it. It gave me a strange new feeling Of power and exhilaration. I look back upon this event as being spiritually the starting point in my new life, Of which this book will tell, although, from the practical point of View, it seems only by a series Of coincidences that my after experiences were evolved from it. I looked about me with a View to spending the money. I had a fancy to put it to some public use. The commonly accepted channels of philanthropy did not appeal to me. I shifted my inquiries in other directions. I remember that at this time I was chiefly occupied with the idea that reformers were for the most part town dwellers, their philo Sophy and schemes attuned to those surroundings. There seemed to me need for a counteracting influence to attempt reform and regeneration on behalf Of country dwellers. The noiseless revolution which had been worked in a few decades by the system Of compulsory education seemed to me tainted throughout by the ideals of townsfolk. The influence Of teachers and clergy, Of public authorities in general, sets before the nation's children and their parents ideals which mould them into townsfolk.'

Summary : This study, first published in 1987, focuses on Victorian approaches to the moral reformation of prisoners, and aims to emphasise the ways in which the human value and social inclusion of prisoners were pursued. The author begins by discussing the evangelical view of social problems and human value in early-industrial Britain as well as the ‘associationist’ psychological analysis of human attitude developed by theorists from John Locke to Jeremy Bentham. The workings of these two theoretical frameworks in the practice of British prisons are then analyses, arguing that by 1860 both theories were basic to the approach to the incarceration of wrongdoers. After 1860 the picture changed radically to an unambiguous deterrent severity. This was linked to a more ‘scientific’ and evolutionist analysis of human conduct and attitude; theological objections to reformism were also brought into play. In the last forty years of the nineteenth century prisoners came to be seen as constitutionally inferior beings for whom no hope of reform could be generally entertained. This title will be of interest to students of history and of criminology.
