Institutions were intended to mould their inhabitants, and were
organized in line with professional and economic constraints,
public opinion, or the need to appeal to potential inmates. The
authorities often modelled their arrangements on domestic ideals,
and the imagined home was frequently the yardstick against which
occupants measured their experiences of institutional life. The
essays in this collection explore both organizational intentions
and inhabitants' experiences in a diverse range of British
residential institutions during a period when such provision was
dramatically increasing. The book addresses inmates, environments
and interactions, with essays focusing on questions of authority,
resistance, agency, domesticity and the material world.
