prisons.org.uk Opening up the Closed World of Prisons
Welcome to prisons.org.uk, the definitive independent web site dedicated to informed coverage of the penal system of England and Wales; whether your interest in prisons is personal or professional, prisons.org.uk is the place to be.
For well over a decade we have published the major prison publications for the penal system of England and Wales - The (annual) Prisons Handbook; the (quarterly) Prisoners' Pocket Directory; and our (monthly) Converse newspaper. In addition we operate the Institute of Prison Law which is authorised by the Solicitors Regulatory Authority and Bar Standards Board to deliver prison law training in England and Wales.

If your work brings you into contact with prisoners, then this course is for you. The Institute of Prison Law is accredited by the Law Society and The Bar Council of England and Wales.
