Reviews / Votes
"This book, drawing on multidisciplinary theoretical literature and exciting, historically sensitive case studies, opens a new page in the cultural-political geographic studies of prisons and of their changing meanings in societies. The author problematises the relational and nuanced spaces of imprisonment and borders from a variety of viewpoints that are related to diverging symbolic and material registers. The result is a richly illustrated book that shows how the issue of inside and outside and the related dividing lines are far more complex than we tend to think. This original text will appeal to readers in the developing field of carceral geography and in other social and cultural science fields." (Professor Anssi Paasi, University of Oulu)
"
The Prison Boundary
is an engaging, challenging and thought-provoking book which interrogates the notion of a binary distinction between what is "inside" and what is "outside" the prison. Jennifer Turner engages thoughtfully with geographical and criminological literatures first to conceptualise the boundary itself, and then to explore ways in which it is transgressed. This book undoubtedly advances scholarship in the vibrant field of carceral geography." (Dominique Moran, University of Birmingham)
