Global Prison Trends 2016

This second edition of Global Prison Trends looks at some of the key developments in prison policy and practice since the first edition was published. 

The report focuses specifically on the most significant developments in how prison is being used and how prisons are being managed and organised. The report includes information and examples from various countries and regions. These are not intended to ‘single out’ certain countries, but are meant to be illustrative of trends and challenges.
