This book uses empirical data gathered using ethnographic methods
in two contrasting prisons to provide a rare insight into death and
dying in prisons in the UK. The majority of deaths in prison
custody in England and Wales result from natural causes, yet the
experiences of people dying in prison and the impact of these
deaths on the wider prison are under-researched areas.
It provides a novel insight into the impact of deaths from
natural causes on the prison as an institution andÂ
challenges existing work juxtaposing occupational philosophies of
‘care’ and ‘control’. It also identifies how end of
life care is provided in prisons and the impact this has on culture
and relationships shows how deaths from natural causes in
prison custody ‘soften’ prison regimes, culture and
relationships. It speaks to an international audience by drawing on
the global literature including from the US.
