This edition of Prison Service Journal reflects the liberal-humane values that have always been supported and advocated through this publication.
Prison Service Journal is concerned with contributing to better practice, not necessarily in terms of greater efficiency or management control, but in terms of the role that prisons have in wider social justice.
