註釋The United Kingdom Prison Service's system of Close Supervision Centres (CSCs), for the management of disruptive prisoners, was introduced in February 1998 to replace the former network of special units established in the late 1980s. This report examines and evaluates the effectiveness of the new system. It argues that CSCs' central underlying principle of prisoner 'progression', through a variety of incentives and earned privileges, is seriously flawed with respect to the management of these particular prisoners and that their management should be based on a set of rather different operational principles and processes. The key elements should include : a comprehensive assessment process which includes substantial and integrated clinical input from forensic psychiatric services and others, in order to identify personality disorder and mental illness, and to assess risk; the establishment of differential regimes with safe and humane conditions in which the minimum threshold should be standards and conditions that at least equate to those found in dispersal segregation units; the long-term containment of a small number of high-risk prisoners whom it would be unsafe to return to a normal location, even when they have spent many years in the CSC system and have progressed to the top level.
