When this book was originally published in 1972 very little had been written about prison staff. The author acknowledges that interest should of course be concentrated on the prisoner community but maintains that the prison staff must also be examined if prisons are to be fully understood. This book demonstrates that the central figure in any prison system is the basic grade uniformed officer and that the collective views of officers have a direct and supreme impact on the working of the system. The book discusses the role of the prison officer in the English prison system, a highly centralized organization which has been in operation for over 150 years. The definition of new organizational tasks during this time brought problems of adjustment for staff which were never properly examined or understood, and which led to major crises. This examination of the English prison service is relevant to prison systems in all advanced societies and raises many controversial issues of importance to policymakers in prison services.

In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries revolutionary dissent, political upheaval and social protest spread throughout Europe and Wales. In this unique examination of British social history, J.E. Thomas focuses upon the power of the local gentry in Wales, and their relationship with the poor and potentially revolutionary population. Early explosions of protest were seen all over Wales, coinciding with the aftermath of the American Revolution, and the equally seismic events of the French Revolution, while later revolts went on to provide serious challenges to the British state. 'Social Disorder in Britain' is an important contribution to the study of the history of religion, social protest and the rise of revolutionary movements, and will be essential reading for students and researchers of British history as well as those interested in revolution more generally.

Bringing together a range of first-hand testimonies of captives, this personal and arresting collection provides an overview of what life inside is actually like. Drawing on memoirs of captives - including those imprisoned for stealing money, murder, illegal protest or no reason at all - this book presents the universal experience of being incarcerated and brings to life the humanity of those behind locked doors.Tracing the career of the captive from the moment the door is first locked behind them, to analysis of the oddities of relationships developed in prison and how the deprivation of sex is dealt with, the book then reflects on the cruelties faced while inside, and concludes by looking at the problems faced when the supposedly happy day of release finally arrives. These insightful accounts help empathise and reflect on the impact of prison practices on inmates.

wurden 150-280 mg% genannt). Entsprechend lag auch der Serumcholesterinwert mit 22 mg %, der Serumphosphorlipidwert mit 45 mg % und der Gesamtlipidwert mit 80 mg% extrem niedrig. Carotinoide konnten überhaupt nicht nachgewiesen werden, und der Vitamin A-Gehalt war mindestens auf 1/ der Norm herabgesetzt. 5 Die Autoren brachten ihre Beobachtung mit der Beschreibung von vier weiteren Fällen von Acanthocytose und Hypocholesterinämie (37-60 mg%) in Zusammenhang, bei welchen zwar auf A-ß-Lipoproteidämie nicht untersucht worden war, die aber durch die große Ähnlichkeit der Symptome als gleiche Krankheit imponierten. Bei allen vier Personen war Konsanguinität bei Eltern oder Großeltern vorhanden. Von größter Bedeutung waren Verlaufsbeobach tungen über mehrere Jahre!, welche Schlüsse auf die Entwicklung, also auch auf die Folgen des ß-Lipoproteidmangels, erlaubten. Alle Kranken, auch der von SALT beobachtete Fall, zeigten cöliakieähnliche Symptome: Durchfallperioden, Fett stühle und röntgenologisch weite Dünndarmlumina. Die älteren Patienten litten an einer atypischen Retinitis pigmentosa und an einer Ataxie vom Typ Friedreich 2. Bei einem vom 13. bis 19. Lebensjahr beobachteten Knaben entwickelte sich in 3 dieser Zeit die Retinitis, und es verstärkten sich die neurologischen Symptome • Daraus ergab sich der naheliegende Schluß, daß die Progredienz des Leidens ihre Ursache in einem durch Transport- bzw. Vehikelinsuffizienz fortwirkenden spezifisch lokalisierten Mangelzustand haben kann. Ob der Mangel an Blut lipiden oder an in Lipiden gelösten Vitaminen und Wirkstoffen (etwa Vitamin A oder Carotinoid) bedeutungsvoller ist, das kann noch nicht näher bestimmt werden.
