Examines the role of the local authority in the penal system and
discusses the ways in which members of ethnic minority groups may
be at a disadvantage in sentencing, in treatment while in
prison, and in parole and social services after release. Argues
that local government should attempt to influence penal practice
to reduce discrimination and racism. Also discusses the question
of detention of immigrants.
