This edited collection analyses the prison through the most
fundamental challenge it faces: escapes. The chapters comprise
original research from established prison scholars who develop the
contours of a sociology of prison escapes. Drawing on firm
empirical evidence from places like India, Tunisia, Canada, the UK,
France, Uganda, Italy, Sierra Leone, and Mexico, the authors show
how escapes not only break the prison, but are also fundamental to
the existence of such institutions: how they are imagined,
designed, organized, justified, reproduced and transformed. The
chapters are organised in four interconnected themes: resistance
and everyday life; politics and transition; imaginaries and popular
culture; and law and bureaucracy, which reflect how escapes are
productive, local, historical, and equivocal social practices, and
integral to the mysterious intransigence of the prison. The result
is a critical and theoretically informed understanding of prison
escapes - which has so far been absent in prison scholarship - and
which will hold broad appeal to academics and students of prisons
and penology, as well as practitioners.
