International Centre for Prison Studies
The International Centre for Prison Studies seeks to assist governments and other relevant agencies to develop appropriate policies on prisons and the use of imprisonment. It carries out its work on a project or consultancy basis for international agencies, governmental and non-governmental organisations.It aims to make the results of its academic research and projects widely available to groups and individuals, both nationally and internationally, who might not normally use such work. These include policy makers, practitioners and administrators, the media and the general public. Such dissemination will help to increase an understanding of the purpose of prison and what can be expected of it.
The International Centre for Prison Studies will be moving from King's College London as of 31 July 2010 and is currently in discussion about this move with a number of organisations. Please use the relevant 'Contact Us' information on their website in order to find out more.
