This book explores the idea of the prison boundary, identifying
where it is located, which processes and performances help
construct and animate it, and who takes part in them. Although the
relationship between prison and non-prison has garnered academic
interest from various disciplines in the last decade, the cultural
performance of the boundary has been largely ignored. This book
adds to the field by exploring the complexity of the material and
symbolic connections that exist between society and carceral space.
Drawing on a range of cultural examples including governmental
legislation, penal tourism, prisoner work programmes and art by
offenders, Jennifer Turner attends to the everyday, practised
manifestations and negotiations of the prison boundary. The book
reveals how prisoners actively engage with life outside of prison
and how members of the public may cross the boundary to the inside.
In doing so, it shows the prison boundary to be a complex patchwork
of processes, people and parts. The book will be of great interest
to scholars and upper-level students of criminology, carceral
geography and cultural studies.
