The dissertation investigates the drawbacks of the UK prison system considering the problem of re-offending in people who were released from prison. It is argued whether prison is just a detention building or a reformatory institution. The research methods are based on secondary sources including reports on current criminal justice policies and statistics on prison re-offending with references to related legislation. The history of prison in the UK is reviewed, its current situation is described touching on the problems of prisons' staffing and overcrowding, youth justice system, family breakdowns, mental health, etc. Conclusions are made about the types of people sent to prison, the lack of adequate welfare facilities, and other concerns related to UK prisons.
