This book critically explores the world of older prisoners to
provide a more nuanced understanding of imprisonment at old age.
Through an ethnographical study of male and female older prisoners
in two Belgian prison settings, one in which older prisoners are
integrated and one in which they are segregated, it informs debates
and seeks to recognise ageist discourse, attitudes, practices in
prison. The Older Prisoner seeks to situate the older prisoner from
both a penological and gerontological perspective, organised around
the following broad themes: the construction of the older prisoner,
the physical prison world, the social prison world, surviving
prison and giving meaning. The book allows readers to navigate
between contrasting perspectives and voices rather than reinforcing
traditional narratives and prevailing discourses on the older
prisoner. In doing so, it hopes to open up a broader dialogue on
ageing and punishment. It also offers insights into the concept of
meaning in life as an analytical tool to study prisoners.
