Law taster: does prison work? Exploring overcrowding and the early release scheme

StudentsVirtual

In 2024 the government introduced an early release scheme to help tackle overcrowding in English prisons. What does this mean for the purpose of imprisonment, and do sentences still achieve what they’re designed to? Join the University of East Anglia to explore the aims of imprisonment, including deterrence, retribution, and rehabilitation. We'll examine legal and criminological perspectives on imprisonment, consider the challenges facing prisons, and discuss whether the system fulfils its aims.
