Details

Prison Law has become an essential text for practitioners, students and researchers seeking authoritative and comprehensive guidance on prison law matters, ranging from questions about prison conditions, procedural fairness in disciplinary hearings, decisions on transfers and temporary release, as well as parole. The book examines statutes governing prisons, as well as the developing corpus of judgments from Ireland, and comparative material from the European Court of Human Rights, the European Court of Justice, England and Wales, the USA and Canada.

The Second Edition analyses:

  • Recent judgments from the Irish courts, including
  • Simpson v Governor of Mountjoy Prison on prison conditions;
  • Kenny v Governor of Portlaoise Prison and Doolan v Governor of Arbour Hill Prison;
  • Delacey v Governor of Wheatfield Prison on procedural fairness in disciplinary hearings;
  • McD v Governor of X Prison on hunger strikes and complaints procedures;
  • Developments in the European Court of Human Rights;
  • New statutory instruments concerning human contact, visits and exercise;
  • The critical changes to release procedures for certain groups introduced by the Parole Act 2019 and the requirements this new process involves;
  • New international prison law instruments, including the revised European Prison Rules (2020) and new UN Standard Minimum Rules (the Mandela Rules) (2015);
  • Reports of the significantly developed Office of the Inspector of Prisons and their relevance for practitioners;
  • Recent reports of the European Committee for the Prevention of Torture, the issues raised therein and their relevance to practitioners, and
  • Research on how people in prison and prison staff experience making complaints and the protection of their rights
