This book explores how prison life is normalized in different
countries, with a critical and detailed look
at ‘Scandinavian exceptionalism’ — the idea
that Scandinavian prisons have exceptionally humane
conditions — and compares these prisons to ones in
Belgium. It provides a more nuanced, systematic
and contextualized comparison of normalization in two
countries. Through analyzing policy and legislative documents,
participant observation and interviews, it seeks to understand how
normalization is implemented differently in prison
legislation, policies and practices and compares the two societies
for context. It also considers the material prison
environment, security, the social environment and the use of time
in prison. It provides insights into how normalization can be
successfully and holistically implemented in both policy and
practice, to contribute to a more ‘pure’ form of liberty
deprivation as punishment without too many unintended effects.
