Punishment and prisons currently have a high public, policy and academic profile at a time of record levels of imprisonment. In this context, and also within the context of citizenship debates, prisoners' rights have re-emerged as an important issue after a period of neglect since the 1970s. Current interest has been encouraged by developments over the last three decades, notably riots and disorder in English prisons with the subsequent Woolf Report, the development of public law for prisoners, the expansion of jurisprudence in the European Court of Human Rights and, more recently, the impact of rights jurisprudence following the incorporation of the European Convention on Human Rights in the Human Rights Act 1998. Prisoners' rights will be examined from socio-legal and philosophical perspectives, asking whether it makes sense to talk of prisoners' rights. It will assess the benefits and problems of a rights-based approach to imprisonment.
