In this edition of Prison Service Journal, the first published since the General Election, covers a range of issues.
Crime and imprisonment featured little in a General Election campaign. This reflects the broad political consensus about prisons in contemporary society, something covered in several of the articles in this edition.
Articles in this edition include:
- Michael Brookes, Chas Ashton and Amanda Holliss on veterans in prison
- Marion Wilson on coping with bereavement
- Nicola Lacey on strategies for moderating penal politics
- Catharine Phillips on gender bias
Also in this edition, an interview with the outgoing Director General of the National Offender Management Service, Phil Wheatley.
