Change Your Prison, Change Your Outcomes, Change Your Community

Economic Affairs, 2014, vol. 34, issue 2, 224-234

Abstract: UK prisons have a very poor record in preventing reoffending. This paper attempts to identify a desirable kind of prison system. It discusses privatisation and payment-by-results programmes. Novel suggestions include the potential for charity-, faith- or community-based organisations to run prisons, and a possible voucher scheme for use by prisoners.
