This paper presents the development of penal policy in England and Wales, as
a distinct unit of penal policy making within the United Kingdom. The paper uses
the political science concept of policy transfer that describes the mechanisms of
transmission of policy between different political systems. The work aims to show
how the penal policy reforms of the 1990s in the United Kingdom can be explained
as a case of ideologically motivated import of penal policy from the United States.
Within the framework of a case study, the aim is to point to a general phenomenon of
the traveling of various penal technologies, rhetorical patterns and policy solutions
that characterize modern penal policy making. This is relevant given the still existing
ambition of policy harmonization within the framework of European integrations.
