Zusammenfassung:"Drawing on Ireland as its primary case study, this book is an in-depth critical examination of how rights protection bodies and mechanisms are experienced by those in prison in Ireland. Through its analysis of the Irish experience, the book considers the implementation of, and challenges faced by, human rights protection within the prison context, and explores some of the reforms that Ireland has undertaken in this area over the past 15 years, including the introduction of a new complaint system and establishment of an Office of the Inspector of Prisons. Using a wealth of information gathered through interviews and surveys of participants in 3 male prisons, the book sets out personal experiences of such mechanisms and identifies the key barriers to effective rights protection. Offering a detailed presentation of the international framework for the protection of prisoners' rights through oversight mechanisms, and proposing methods for overcoming common barriers, Overseeing Rights in Prison: The Irish Experience of Human Rights Protection in Prisons will be of interest to students and scholars of criminology, particularly in relation to prisons and human rights"-- Provided by publisher
