The proposals for reform of the Correctional Review Committee, calling for practical improvements in inmate management and security, are reviewed. New generation prison design and policy, particularly as implemented within the U.S. Federal prison system, is discussed, and its appropriateness for British penal programs is assessed. Implications of pyschological research for new generation prison design and use also are considered. Additional papers examine prison security and inmate management with reference to inmate-staff relations, inmate rights, and social control strategies that emphasize inmate self-government. Special, maximum security prisons, units, and programs in England, Scotland, and the United States are described, along with the importance of inmate classification as a correctional management tool. Special attention is focused on the U.S. Federal corrections inmate classification system, British research into identifying dangerous and disruptive inmates, and the role of the prison probation officer in Great Britain. Notes on contributers and a list of conference participants are appended. Index and chapter notes, tables, figures, and references.
