The post-war international human rights framework aimed to outlaw the enslavement, torture and killing of detained people. Has the framework delivered what its creators dreamed of? For the world’s ten million prisoners how real is the aspiration that “all persons deprived of their liberty shall be treated with humanity”?
Vivien Stern is Senior Research Fellow at the International Centre for Prison Studies, King’s College, London; Honorary President of Penal Reform International; and a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords. Her books include: Bricks of Shame: Britain’s Prisons and Creating Criminals: People and Prisons in a Market Society.
