Prison Service Journal: 194
Saturday, 5 March 2011
The eclectic range of articles in this edition weave between policy and practice and attempt to draw these together.
This continues the work of Prison Service Journal in supporting and developing an approach to prison work as a craft, rather than a technical or mechanical process, where professionals are reflective about their practice and aspire to achieve high quality and ethical standards.
