Abstract

In the introduction we give an overview of the main issues and innovations emerging from a very diverse and wide-ranging set of twelve chapters. In particular, the introduction addresses issues of ethical health research within prison settings within the context of the abolitionist/reformist debate relating to prisons. Cumulatively the chapters provide an insight into prison health research within various prison jurisdictions across the UK.
