Prison studies has experienced a period of great creativity in
recent years, and this collection draws together some of the
field's most exciting and innovative contemporary critical writers
in order to engage directly with one of the most profound questions
in penology - why prison? In addressing this question, the authors
connect contemporary penological thought with an enquiry that has
received the attention of some of the greatest thinkers on
punishment in the past. Through critical exploration of the
theories, policies and practices of imprisonment, the authors
analyse why prison persists and why prisoner populations are
rapidly rising in many countries. Collectively, the chapters
provide not only a sophisticated diagnosis and critique of global
hyper-incarceration but also suggest principles and strategies that
could be adopted to radically reduce our reliance upon
imprisonment.
