When prejudice is combined with power, which the prison officers have over the lives of inmates, then you certainly have a situation of racism.... So says one race relations expert.
This week Ebony examines the Home Office's efforts to eradicate racism from the prison service through its Race Relations Policy. One aspect of that policy is to employ more black prison officers. Follow new recruit Gareth Reid through his training and first day at
Wandsworth. And in the week before the US Democratic
Convention, meet advertising executive Frank L. Mingo Jr who is advising Presidential candidate Michael Dukakis on black issues.
