This book examines how the Western Australian prison system evolved, how it relates to a changing and expanding society and analyses the historical forces that created the system. The authors are concerned with the universal aspects of crime and punishment. Because the patterns and problems that emerge are typical of most modern systems, the book will appeal to lawyers, historians and criminologists. (back cover)
