Book excerpt: Over the last few decades, the prison populations in European countries have grown and their profiles have changed. There are more than 100,000 foreign prisoners in European countries. Their numbers vary greatly from country to country, but the average percentage of foreigners in the total European prison population is over 20%. Why are foreigners over-represented in European prison populations? Who are they and on what grounds are they held in detention? Are foreign prisoners more vulnerable due to language difficulties, cultural differences, and their distance from relatives? Are they being socially excluded? Is their treatment and legal position different from other prisoners? And, how are national prison systems and other authorities addressing this issue? Funded by the European Commission, this extensive study - developed within the framework of the EU program "Social Exclusion" - offers an answer to the questions stated above. With this, a distinction is made between foreigners who are detained for committing a crime - or are suspected of one - and foreigners whose deprivation of liberty is based on migration law. Originally published as a two volume set in 2007, this comprehensive single volume reprint contains country reports of twenty-five EU Member States, as well as six reports of organizations which contributed to the research. The first chapter presents a comparative overview with conclusions and recommendations. At the end, a detailed bibliography will be given which includes relevant websites and legal documents.

Download or read book Why Prison written by David Scott and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2013-08-29 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Prison studies has experienced a period of great creativity in recent years, and this collection draws together some of the field's most exciting and innovative contemporary critical writers in order to engage directly with one of the most profound questions in penology - why prison? In addressing this question, the authors connect contemporary penological thought with an enquiry that has received the attention of some of the greatest thinkers on punishment in the past. Through critical exploration of the theories, policies and practices of imprisonment, the authors analyse why prison persists and why prisoner populations are rapidly rising in many countries. Collectively, the chapters provide not only a sophisticated diagnosis and critique of global hyper-incarceration but also suggest principles and strategies that could be adopted to radically reduce our reliance upon imprisonment.
Download or read book Foreign offenders in prison and on probation in Europe written by Marcelo F. Aebi and published by Council of Europe. This book was released on 2019-12-02 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Is there really an over-representation of foreign citizens in European prisons? Is the presence of foreign inmates comparable across regions and countries of Europe? How can one explain the differences in the trends shown by the absolute numbers and the percentages of foreign inmates from 2005 to 2015? Do foreign citizens have less access than nationals to alternatives to imprisonment? Do the data available allow researchers to establish whether the growth in the use of community sanctions and measures since the 1990s plays a role in the fluctuations observed in the percentage of foreign inmates? The answers to these and many other questions can be found in this book, which compiles and updates a series of specific indicators collected over 11 years through the Council of Europe Annual Penal Statistics (better known as the SPACE statistics), and accompanies the two volumes on prisons in Europe 2005-2015 in this collection. This volume includes maps and tables illustrating the state of prison (2005-2015) and probation agencies (2009-2015). In addition, the situation is analysed through individual country profiles, which include key facts and graphs covering the years 2005-2015.

Book excerpt: This thesis examines the treatment and experiences of foreign national prisoners in England and Wales. The number of imprisoned foreign nationals has more than doubled over the past decade (MoJ 20l0a; Banks 2011). New penal policit;~oblige prison staff members to identify foreign nationals to immigration authorities-and mandate that prisons hold 'foreigners' facing deportation beyond the length of their criminal' sentences (MoJ and UKBA 2009). In these ways and others, the contemporary British prison is a site for migration control. The field of prison studies is relatively ill equipped to critique these changes in the practice and purpose of punishment. Many prison theories rely on a static and outmoded understanding of the nation-state. As a result, criminological accounts of the prison often ignore the effects of globalisation and overlook key links between identity and imprisonment. Countering that trend, this thesis explores a 'global' approach to prison studies. Over the course of seven chapters, I argue that prison practices reaffirm the boundaries of the British nation-state and promote an exclusionary notion of British citizenship. I conclude that research attuned to the affective, embodied dimensions of incarceration can help criminologists to develop a more 'global' perspective on state power. That argument begins and builds from ethnographic research. As a whole, the thesis is based on more than 200 interviews conducted over the course of a year in and around five men's prisons in the north, southwest, and center of England. Structurally, the thesis proceeds from a theoretical critique of prison studies, to an ethnographic account of prison life, to a conclusion about the purpose of prison scholarship. Thematically, it focuses on the relationship between identity and imprisonment, and in particular, on the ways in which normative beliefs about race, gender, sexuality, and class get infused in incarceration practices. 2.
