This book provides an up-to-date, accessible introduction to the relationship between families, prisons and penal policies in the United Kingdom.

The book includes:

- an assessment of the role of current prison policies and practices in promoting and maintaining family relationships
- a summary of the current law in relation to prisoners and their families, with reference to the relevant legislation and recent case law.
