Private prisons, Alan Travis. Guardian 26.8.98., p15. Noting that there "are more prisoners behind bars than ever [and that] more and more of them are incarcerated by private security firms, thanks to a significant realignment of the public-private sector boundary", this piece asks why the Labour government has so enthusiastically adopted the Conservative business ethic.

Prison report. Issue 44 (Summer) 1998. This issue contains articles on prescription medicines, key performance indicators, HIV infection in prison; Boards of Governors, older women in prison, probation and a privatisation factfile.
