AnnotationIn 1999, in response to the ongoing controversy surrounding prison health care, the Home Office and the NHS Executive published "The future organization of prison health care". This article, building on interviews and field notes from research conducted in the health care centres of three local prisons, analyses and critiques the document's premise. It argues that, until the formal and informal networks of penal power are dealt with, the document's hopes for change are unlikely to be realised. (RH).
