	Reconstructing a Women's Prison: The Holloway Redevelopment Project, 1968-88 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		The belief in rehabilitation of prisoners by experts would reach its peak in the first decades of the twentieth century and was to remain dominant in penological theory for almost a century after it was first forcefully articulated.
		Social approaches to the maintenance of order in prison seek to reduce prisoners’ inclination to offend against the prison order, whilst situational approaches assume that prisoners may have such a disposition but seek to deny them an opportunity to act as they may be disposed to do.
		Typically, prison authorities attempt to use both techniques to maintain order, and some measures, such as those activities that are designed to keep prisoners busy for example, may have a social and a situational aspect.

		Holloway prison now has vastly improved relations between the management team and trade unions and this more consensual approach to the running of the prison is helping to produce real gains for prisoners.
		Tom Appadoo from the Prison Officers' Association (POA) explained that this backing was important since the trade unions had previously felt that employees' concerns had not been listened to and that change had been imposed rather than agreed.
		An action plan was agreed between management and union representatives on policy implementation, supported by training for prison staff on the ACCT programme, communication strategies and a joint statement issued by the POA branch chair and the governor on the importance of the initiative.

		England's Holloway Prison, once a highly secure facility for women, has undergone a change and is now considered to be "easy" according to some prison officers.
		Although the staff discuss the enhanced freedoms that the women experience at Holloway as a result of these progressive changes, clearly the emphasis of the institution is still on security as the regimen of locking the women in their cells at night and not unlocking them until morning suggests.
		The prison staff are underpaid, poorly trained, and overworked, and some officers express concern that alcoholism and addiction to other drugs pose a serious problem for their colleagues and themselves.

		It is of importance that the industrial reformation of criminals should continue to be promoted in the London prisons, and there is much room for further advance even in this direction.
		Prisoners, however, should certainly not be placed in a condition even equal to that of the honest outside or workhouse poor; but the chief deterrent, and at the same time the most reformatory and economic treatment, should consist in a rigorous enforcement of an ample quantum of task-work.
		Real hard work, and the enforcement of it (but without semi-starvation), is a condition most useful and most hateful to the generality of criminals.

		Although prisons vary from each other in terms of the education they offer, many ESOL practitioners working within prisons and Young Offender Institutions (YOIs) identify a number of challenges and limitations to the way they can work which relate specifically to the prison learning environment.
		The prison context itself plays a major role in determining the communicative situations, activities and strategies teachers are able to use.
		The role of ESOL provision within Holloway is to develop the learners' level of English in order to help them cope with life in prison, to prepare for release and also to give learners relief from the prison context.
