Simon's book sheds new light on the area of the rehabilitative work of prisons, examining the nature of training received by prisoners, the actual work they undertake, how this relates to the world of work outside and the role it plays in helping to secure employment on release.  The author employs a balance of qualitative and quantitative data, including first-hand accounts from prison workers and prisoners, gathered during field research.
