Rezensionen

"This is a thought-provoking, empirically rich book that makes an important contribution towards describing and bringing attention to the impacts and dilemmas of incarcerated men and the enactment of prisoners' masculinities. ... many of the contributors make interesting use of diverse literatures, disciplines and theories, ensuring the book is an important resource for scholars and those interested in the lives and well being of prisoners." (Paul L Simpson, Current Issues in Criminal Justice , Vol. 30 (01), July, 2018)
