Making Standards Work: an international handbook on good prison practice

This handbook presents an overview of the UN rules on prison conditions and treatment of prisoners and explains their value and meaning for prison policy and practice, in order to promote further implementation of recognised international rules.

It has been written for those working with prisoners or responsible for their care and treatment: prison policy-makers, prison staff and all those – governmental and non-governmental – who are involved in work with prisoners or feel responsible for such work in one way or another.
