The profile of prisoners across many Western countries is
strikingly similar - 95% male, predominantly undereducated and
underemployed, from the most deprived neighbourhoods. This book
reflects on how similarly positioned men configure masculinities
against global economic shifts that have seen the decimation of
traditional, manual-heavy industry and with it the disruption of
long-established relations of labour. Drawing on life history
interviews and classical ethnography, the book charts a group of
men's experiences pre, during and post prison. Tracking the
development of masculinities from childhood to adulthood, across
impoverished streets, 'failing' schools and inadequate state
'care', the book questions whether this proved better preparation
for serving prison time than working in their local,
service-dominated, labour markets. It integrates theories of crime,
geography, economics and masculinity to take into account
structural and global economic shifts as well as individual
long-term perspectives in order to provide a broad examination on
pathways to prison and post prison.
