Zusatztext 'The book throws light on the varied everyday experiences of people in prison! while confirming the huge challenges of minimizing the damage and dislocation of the carceral experience.''It is the right kind of introduction for those who know little about prison life! but probably even more useful for practitioners and academics more involved in prisons; it is all too easy for the latter to start thinking of themselves as semi-experts on imprisoned people! seeing patterns and commonalities where there may be none! all the while becoming more distanced from the worlds described here. The sources for the various interviews are not made clear! but they are well chosen to provide multi-layered insights.'-Hindpal Singh Bhui! Inspection Team Leader! HM Inspectorate of Prisons! in Probation Journal! vol 59 no 3 Informationen zum Autor Ben Crewe is Deputy Director of the Prisons Research Centre at the Institute of Criminology! University of Cambridge.
