A Study on Accountability of Prison
This paper introduces the system of England in terms of the accountability of prison. Since the prison riot arose in 1990, England has started the reformation of prison in a human and rational way. In regard to the reformation of prison, this paper examines necessity of the accountability of prison, prison management and policy evaluation method, activity of prison inspectorate for transparency of prison administration, activity and limitation of boards of visitors (independent monitoring board), an appeal of dissatisfaction, the third-party agency, and the system of coroner. I write this paper in the hope that these reformations will be operated in Korea. I also look forward to meeting modernization, legislation and internationalization of prison in Korea.
