Abstract
⺠We examine how prisoners perceive correctional officers' behavior in English and Dutch prisons. ⺠Substantial differences in staff-prisoner relations are observed in these countries. ⺠In England staff-prisoner relations are more detached and staff is unresponsive. ⺠In Dutch prisons staff is perceived as helpful and fair. ⺠Developments in penal policy are not necessarily mirrored in the practice of prisons.
