This is the first book to provide a comprehensive
historical-geographical lens to the development and evolution of
correctional institutions as a specific subset of carceral
geographies. This book analyzes and critiques global practices of
incarceration, regimes of punishment, and their corresponding
spaces of "corrections" from the eighteenth to twenty-first
centuries. It examines individuals' experiences within various
regulatory regimes and spaces of punishment, and offers an
interpretation of spaces of incarceration as cultural-historical
artifacts. The book also analyzes the spatial-distributional
geographies of incarceration, particularly with respect to their
historical impact on community political-economic development and
local geographies. Contributions within this book examine a range
of prison sites and the practices that take place within them to
help us understand how regimes of punishment are experienced, and
are constructed in different kinds of ways across space and time
for very different ends. The overall aim of this book is to help
understand the legacies of carceral geographies in the present. The
resonances across space and time tell a profound story of social
and spatial legacies and, as such, offer important insights into
the prison crisis we see in many parts of the world today.

This book draws together the work of a new community of scholars
with a growing interest in carceral geography: the geographical
study of practices of imprisonment and detention. It combines work
by geographers on 'mainstream' penal establishments where people
are incarcerated by the prevailing legal system, with geographers'
recent work on migrant detention centres, where irregular migrants
and 'refused' asylum seekers are detained, ostensibly pending
decisions on admittance or repatriation. Working in these contexts,
the book's contributors investigate the geographical location and
spatialities of institutions, the nature of spaces of incarceration
and detention and experiences inside them, governmentality and
prisoner agency, cultural geographies of penal spaces, and mobility
in the carceral context. In dialogue with emergent and topical
agendas in geography around mobility, space and agency, and in
relation to international policy challenges such as the
(dis)functionality of imprisonment and the search for alternatives
to detention, this book presents a timely addition to emergent
interdisciplinary scholarship that will prompt dialogue among those
working in geography, criminology and prison sociology.
The 'punitive turn' has brought about new ways of thinking about
geography and the state, and has highlighted spaces of
incarceration as a new terrain for exploration by geographers.
Carceral geography offers a geographical perspective on
incarceration, and this volume accordingly tracks the ideas,
practices and engagements that have shaped the development of this
new and vibrant subdiscipline, and scopes out future research
directions. By conveying a sense of the debates, directions, and
threads within the field of carceral geography, it traces the inner
workings of this dynamic field, its synergies with criminology and
prison sociology, and its likely future trajectories. Synthesizing
existing work in carceral geography, and exploring the future
directions it might take, the book develops a notion of the
'carceral' as spatial, emplaced, mobile, embodied and affective.

This edited collection speaks to and expands on existing debates
around incarceration. Rather than focusing on the bricks and mortar
of institutional spaces, this volume's inventive engagements in
'thinking through carcerality' touch on more elusive concepts of
identity, memory and internal - as well as physical - walls and
bars. Edited by two human geographers, and positioned within a
criminological context, this original collection draws together
essays by geographers and criminologists with a keen interest in
carceral studies. The authors stretch their disciplinary
boundaries; tackling a range of contemporary literatures to engage
in new conversations and raising important questions within current
debates on incarceration. A highly interdisciplinary project, this
edited collection will be of particular interest to scholars of the
criminal justice system, social policy, and spatial carceral
studies.

This handbook brings together the international research focussing
on prisoners' families and the impact of imprisonment on them.
Under-researched and under-theorised in the realm of scholarship on
imprisonment, this handbook encompasses a broad range of original,
interdisciplinary and cross-national research. This volume includes
the experiences of those from countries often unrepresented in the
prisoner's families' literature such as Russia, Australia, Israel
and Canada. This broad coverage allows readers to consider how
prisoners' families are affected by imprisonment in countries
embracing very different penal philosophies; ranging from the
hyper-incarceration being experienced in the USA to the less
punitive, more welfare-orientated practices under Scandinavian
'exceptionalism'. Chapters are contributed by scholars from
numerous and diverse disciplines ranging from law, nursing,
criminology, psychology, human geography, and education studies.
Furthermore, contributions span various methodological and
epistemological approaches with important contributions from NGOs
working in this area at a national and supranational level. The
Palgrave Handbook of Prison and the Family makes a significant
contribution to knowledge about who prisoners' families are and
what this status means in practice. It also recognises the autonomy
and value of prisoners' families as a research subject in their own
right.
This handbook brings together expertise from a range of
disciplinary perspectives and geographical contexts to address a
key question facing prison policymakers, architects and designers -
what kind of carceral environments foster wellbeing, i.e. deliver a
rehabilitative, therapeutic environment, or other 'positive'
outcomes? The Palgrave Handbook of Prison Design offers insights
into the construction of custodial facilities, alongside
consideration of the critical questions any policymaker should ask
in commissioning the building of a site for human containment.
Chapters present experience from Australia, Chile, Estonia,
Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Russia, the United Kingdom, and the
United States - jurisdictions which vary widely in terms of the
history and development of their prison systems, their punitive
philosophies, and the nature of their public discourse about the
role and purpose of imprisonment, to offer readers theories,
frameworks, historical accounts, design approaches, methodological
strategies, empirical research, and practical approaches.
This volume examines societal change in the countries of Central
and Eastern Europe (CEE) and Russia in a purposeful movement away
from the generalized debated associated with 'transition' theory
and a simultaneous engagement with the complexities of everyday
life throughout the region at the local level. In addition to
addressing the problematic nature of a discursive east-west divide,
Trans-National Issues, Local Concerns and Meanings of
Post-Socialism brings together a range of academics and
practitioners working on specific locally-situated concerns
including drug use, HIV/AIDS, health, identity, and welfare as well
as issues related to minority ethnic groups. While drawing
attention to the salience of a common socialist past, these
empirically-rich chapters highlight the importance of moving beyond
simplistic east-west analytical framework in order to acknowledge
the multifaceted societal realties evident with the former
socialist countries of CEE and Russia.
