Abstract

Following recent calls for prisoners to be used to fill labour shortages caused by Brexit, Virginia Mantouvalou discusses key legislation around this question. She explains how prisoners – both in the UK and elsewhere – are excluded from protective rules, including those pertaining to wages, workers’ rights, and tax and social insurance contributions.
