註釋For more than 160 years New Zealand has struggled to find a formula for dealing with prisoners in a humane, effective and workable way. For the most part the quest has failed. Deterrent, retributive, reformative, custodial and community programmes have all had their day and not one has proved to be significantly better than any other in the general treatment of criminality, and reoffending rates remain quite uniform. The Problem of Prisons is the first full analysis of the history of the corrections system in New Zealand. Newbold provides a comprehensive history of the legislative and administrative changes in corrections and interweaves descriptions of the day-to-day realities of prison life as well as more occasional dramas such as the 1965 inmate riot that left Mt Eden almost uninhabitable for days.
