Handbook on the Management of High-Risk Prisoners

The Handbook considers the prison management challenges that high-risk prisoners pose as well as actions that prison administrations should take to ensure prison security, safety and order and to protect society from criminal activity directed from within the prison. Each chapter provides extracts from relevant international standards relevant to high-risk prisoners; prison management guidelines; and case examples. At the end of the Handbook is a set of recommendations, primarily directed to prison authorities, which summarize the key principles and suggestions made in each chapter. These recommendations are also relevant to other actors involved in developing policies and legislation relating to the management of high-risk prisoners, including civil society organizations involved in prison monitoring or the delivery of constructive regime activities.
