UK prisons have a very poor record in preventing reoffending. This paper attempts to identify a desirable kind of prison system. It discusses privatisation and payment‐by‐results programmes. Novel suggestions include the potential for charity‐, faith‐ or community‐based organisations to run prisons, and a possible voucher scheme for use by prisoners.
