With the assistance of a principal officer of the West Australian Department of Corrections, who had been released from normal duties for the project, Dr Thomas submitted a manuscript for publication. The title of the book was: Imprisonment in Western Australia : evolution, theory and practice / by J.E. Thomas and Alex Stewart. Nedlands, WA : University of Western Australia, 1978.
The work outlines the development of penal policy and practice in Western Australia from the days of convict settlement to the present time. The concluding two chapters are devoted to contemporary practice with regard to parole and institutional management.
