09/13/2007
Description:
The state of our prisons is a fair measure of the state of our society. The Prison Reform Trust works to ensure they are a just, humane and effective.
Prisons are the most shaming of all our public institutions. The United Kingdom has the highest imprisonment rate in Western Europe at 145 per 100,000 of the population - in conditions which are frequently an affront to civilized values, and at great cost to the taxpayer. Yet the vast majority of our prisoners do not present a serious threat to life or limb. Their crimes are such that they can be more humanely, economically and effectively dealt with in the community.
