Abstract:The writer considers the Home Office responses to Lord Justice Woolf's report on the 1990 prison disturbances insofar as they affect one aspect of prison lift, nameb, the adjudication. He fears that, with the removal from boards of visitors of their adjudicatosy function, elements of natural justice have been placed in jeopardy. It may not be possible for a governor to come to a hearing without bias or without hints that the governor is a judge in his or her own cause not being sufficiently independent. Lord Bridge's dictum in ex parte Leech (1988) to the effect that the governor adjudicates as something other than a servant of the Secretary of State is diyficulty to sustain in practice. The adjudicating governor may be in breach of Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights. The writer offers a way forward whereby discipline may be maintained in prisons through the application of a redrafted Prison Rule 47 and a revision of the present procedure.

摘要:

Abstract:Disorder in prisons in the 1980 led to a searching debate within the Scottish Prison Service, which produced a commitment to change from a reactive and defensive culture into a more open, proactive one. The aim now is a ‘quality service’ in which prisoners will be viewed as responsible persons and be presented with opportunities about how they wish to use their period of imprisonment. A cultural change of this kind affects the way in which the service organises itself, takes decisions and treats staff. Changes are now in hand which ‘migrate’ tasks to establishments and empower Governors‐in‐Charge ‐ and their staff. Inevitably this mw style of prison management will take time and emounter difficulties. The Scottish Prison Service is committed, however, to its goal of a more enlightened P

摘要:

Abstract:Four approaches to drug enforcement are appraised. Three of these are characterised as the conventional approaches which have been dominant through most of the past decade. The arguments for and the limitations of each are considered. It is argued that the shortcomings of these conventional approaches has led to renewed interest in enforcement aimed at the street or retail level of the market. Drawing on economic models of the drug market and the behaviour of drug buyers, the arguments for low level drug enforcement are described, and some problems with this approach indicated.

摘要:

Abstract:Private contract management of prisons within Australia has taken hold in the past three years. In 1989 the Labour Government was elected in Queensland and reaf Jinned a contract entered into by the Libera National Party immediately prior to the Labour Party's election to manage Borallon Correctional Centre. At the time, there was some controversy about this decision as the Labour Party had expressed a policy which opposed private management of prisons. On 2 January 1990 Borallon commenced operations. This article will describe the involvement of private companies in punishment immediately prior to colonisation in Australia and in the early years in New South Wales. Against this background, a more detailed outline of the legislative and policy framework for contract management of prisons in Queensland and New South Wales is given. Emerging arguments about the advantages of priuate contract management are related to preliminary conclusions drawn from current field research at Borallon and Lotus Glen Correctional Centres. Finally, some reforms are suggested based on observations made whilst on this field research.
