Exploring the roots of faith-based units in South America, it explains why the Prison Service of England and Wales set up the first Christian-based unit in the western world in 1997 - and why there was subsequently a rapid expansion of faith units across the Western world. The book presents a vision of justice that is not just concerned with building more prisons but with rebuilding more prisoners. Zusammenfassung In 1997 the Verne Prison permitted the setting up of a distinct Christian community within its walls, the first prison to do so within the western world. Offered as a solution to the problem of control in that prison, it rapidly spread to three other prisons in the UK.
