Opis

A unique theoretical and empirical examination of women's embodied experience of imprisonment in England. The author examines how women's experience of prison can be understood through a sociological focus on the interaction between body and emotion.

Recenzje

Chamberlen's book is an important and compelling scholarly intervention which evocatively captures the embodied pains of imprisonment in a way which envelops both new theoretical ideas from outside criminology and rigorous empirical research.
