This book focuses on the experience of imprisonment from the
perspectives of individuals with sexual convictions. It stresses
the importance of a positive and rehabilitative prison climate. The
volume begins with an exploration of the theoretical underpinnings
of a rehabilitative prison climate and discusses some of the
practical ways of creating rehabilitative cultures in prisons
housing people convicted of sexual offences. Four empirical
chapters focus on the experience of stigmatisation, prison
officers' attitudes towards prisoners' offences, negotiating the
'sex offender' identity in prisons and the varied experience of
'being' in prisons exclusively for individuals with sexual
convictions. Throughout the authors discuss the specific benefits
of peer-support, such as the chance to earn self-forgiveness,
construct adaptive identities and consequently move away from
harmful labels. The book also spotlights a chapter on the
experience of imprisonment written by a former service-user, this
unique position offers an insightful account of an individual's
journey through the prison system.
