Originally published in 1976, A Taste of Prison delves into a highly sensitive and concerning aspect of the British trial and imprisonment system at the time. It provides a detailed account of the conditions at Winchester Prison and Winchester Remand Centre, catering to both adults and young individuals who were held in custody prior to trial or awaiting sentence. Despite the fact that many of these individuals would not ultimately receive prison sentences from the courts, the conditions they endured were, in many respects, no better and, in some cases, worse than those faced by those serving time behind bars. Moreover, as this study reveals, the special provisions designed for these individuals, as outlined in the Prison Rules and Standing Orders of the Prison Department, often held little practical significance—either due to their lack of awareness of their rights or due to various obstacles preventing them from exercising them.
The authors explore the role of remands in custody within a evolving prison system, analyze recent trends in the number of individuals being received into the prison system on remand, and evaluate their impact on the overall prison population. The findings are contextualized within the framework of prison buildings and the potential repurposing of existing structures. Finally, the authors present a series of proposals aimed at improving the regime for remand prisoners.
