Description

It is 25 years since the Thatcher government launched privately-run prisons. This book offers an assessment of their successes and failures, analysing the benefits of competition, and considering how well the government has managed the unusual quasi-market that the privatization push created. Drawing on first-person interviews with key players and his own experience, Julian Le Vay presents a valuable look at the results of prison privatization for government, citizens, and prisoners.

Author Biography:

Julian Le Vay was Finance Director of HM Prison Service for five years, responsible for competitions to build and run prisons, then Director for Competition in the National Offender Management Service. Later he worked for two companies providing criminal justice services to Government. He is well placed to write about competition, having worked at different times on both sides of the fence.
