This book examines how the prison environment, architecture and
culture can affect mental health as well as determine both the type
and delivery of mental health services. It also discusses how
non-medical practices, such as peer support and prison education
programs, offer the possibility of transformative practice and
support. By drawing on international contributions, it furthermore
demonstrates how mental health in prisons is affected by wider
socio-economic and cultural factors, and how in recent years
neo-liberalism has abandoned, criminalised and contained large
numbers of the world's most marginalised and vulnerable
populations. Overall, this collection challenges the dominant
narrative of individualism by focusing instead on the relationship
between structural inequalities, suffering, survival and
punishment. Chapter 2 of this book is available open access under a
CC BY 4.0 license via link.springer.com.
