Also Serving Time informs readers about the realities of provincial
and territorial prison work in Canada. Exploring the nuances of the
job, Rosemary Ricciardelli shows how officer orientations and
attitudes toward prisoners are interconnected and foundational in
shaping their own experiences as well as those of managerial and
administrative staff and prisoners themselves. Drawing on
interviews with one hundred correctional officers with experience
in a range of provincial and territorial prisons, Ricciardelli
provides theoretical and applied explorations of officer
orientations, interpretations, and risk propensity to show how
perceptions, attitudes, and beliefs - both at the individual and
structural levels - shape prison practices. Detailing officers'
experiences working with male and female adult prison populations,
Also Serving Time unpacks how gender informs the actions and
self-presentation of correctional officers. Ricciardelli confirms
that tasks of daily living underpinned by pervasive risk potential
shape prison work. Through the officer accounts presented, the book
provides an opportunity for readers to explore how punishment and
"rehabilitation," gender, and the hierarchical structure of prison
management together shape officers' daily realities.
