Description
The edited volume features an interconnected collection of six substantive chapters on incarceration, drawn from an international context, to explore imprisonment from historical and contemporary perspectives. The chapters focus on three 'parameters' of penal realities: identity, experience, and practice, and present a 'snapshot' of the 'prison experience' through a variety of global lenses; an international and interdisciplinary volume.
