Volume 18(1&2) is a special double issue of the "Journal of

adjustment. Running themes include reflections on the relationship
between life and death in carceral settings, as well as critiques
of policies that produce 'disposable' human beings. The issue
continues with a revived Dialogues section featuring five articles
discussing the scholarly merits, limitations, and ethics of prison
ethnography and carceral tours. An extended Prisoners' Struggles
section includes material on a variety of resources, organizations
and events of interest, including reports by the MTL Trans Support

This special issue of the Journal of Prisoners on Prisons, titled
"Dialogue on Canada's Federal Penitentiary System and the Need for
Change", features dozens of contributions written by criminalized
men and women currently incarcerated in Correctional Service Canada
(CSC) institutions. The writings document the counterproductive
changes to federal imprisonment made by the previous federal
government. These incarcerated writers seek to contribute to the
reflections of Justice Canada as it conducts a review of the penal
system and to the Standing Senate Committee on Human Rights as it
engages in a study about the treatment of prisoners in CSC
penitentiaries. Individual prisoners and Inmate Committees from CSC
institutions in the Atlantic, Quebec, Ontario, Prairie and Pacific
regions who participated in this dialogue collectively express hope
that the Government of Canada will move away from the punitive
laws, policies, and practices. To this end, the issue includes
several recommendations to be enacted in the short-term to improve
the lives of those who are imprisoned and who work in federal
penitentiaries while also benefitting Canadian society by
contributing to public safety.
Contributors address a range of themes including prisoner
interactions, gender and patriarchal domination in women's prisons,
as well as health care and mental health behind bars.

imprisonment and the vital role prison writing plays in knowing
inside in the contemporary context.? The "Response "to the issue by
Jon Marc Taylor, who earned his bachelor's, master's and doctoral
degrees while behind bars through correspondence courses,
encourages prisoners and fellow travellers to continue to "fight
the good fight" through prison writing. The "Prisoners' Struggles"
and "Book Reviews" sections include resources for prisoners, along
with contributions from individuals and groups working towards
expanding knowledge inside including Seth Ferranti, Eugene Dey,
books2prisoners Ottawa and the United Nations Special Rapporteur on
