FROM THE PREFACE: “We like to believe that most of our actions are voluntary and we try to distinguish sharply between what is done voluntarily and that which we do by coercion under pressure. However anyone working with criminals detained behind high walls for the protection of society soon comes to realize that the difference between what is done voluntarily and what is done under pressure is not very clear. For many years I have wanted to write a description of what has been done in the Herstedvester Detention Centre since I became its superintendent in 1942; several times I have started but for lack of time have been unable to finish….”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION: “Why study prison staff? Anyone embarking on a study of prison staff needs to ask themselves why they are doing it, as there are obvious risks in pursuing this course. First, particularly for prison staff researching themselves, there is a danger of partiality or even indulgence. Historically, prison staff have seen themselves as neglected and unappreciated (Thomas 1972; Crawley 2004), and as a result sympathetic students of prison staff may be drawn into taking sides, or becoming partial. Second, the study of prison staff may be considered marginal or a distraction. It could be argued that the primary focus of prison research should be prisoners, since they are the people who are most significantly affected by the prison experience. Third, it could be argued that the study of prison staff acts to reinforce existing power structures either by promoting their interests above those of prisoners, or, when research is critical of prison staff, legitimising the increased centralisation of power and undermining attempts to allow and develop professional judgment and discretion…”

FROM THE INTRODUCTION OF VOLUME 1: “This book addresses the legal issues that affect the mentally disordered inmate. Charters 1 and 2 set out the boundaries of the problem and give an overview of the legal issues generally. Chapters 3 and 4 provide a broad review of the laws governing the legal identity and basic rights of prisoners, including the right to treatment where a serious medical need exists and how that right carries over to a serious mental disorder. Subsequent chapters address in greater detail the problems in these areas and the legal discussions and holdings pertaining to them. The chapters provide extensive citations to leading cases and specific guidance on the legal obligations and duties of those who supervise or treat mentally disordered inmates, the rights of the incarcerated mentally ill, and best policies and practices. Problems related to specific populations are treated in detail. For example, Chapter 20 covers juvenile detainees and inmates and the special situations to which their cases can give rise. Chapter 21 covers sexual predators, discussing among other things the legal complexities associated with the rise of sex offender treatment programs.

From the Preface by Lamar Empey: T”he design and conduct of many, perhaps most, sociological studies depend upon some knowledge of the subjective views of the actors to be investigated. Without it, the investigation must proceed more by assumption than by evidence, more by conjecture than by an informed point of view. To be able to ask relevant questions and to explore key issues. the sociologist must have some prior grasp of the way those issues look to the persons who are to be studied, what they contend with, and why they believe as they do. There is nothing quite so difficult as attempting to gather data on the nature and subiective side of institu- tional patterns and processes without such information.”
