Dying in Prison

Meer over het boek

Focusing on the experiences surrounding death in UK prisons, this book employs ethnographic research to reveal the often-overlooked realities of dying inmates. It highlights that most prison deaths stem from natural causes and examines how these deaths influence prison culture and relationships. By contrasting care and control philosophies, it offers a fresh perspective on end-of-life care within the institution. The work also connects with global literature, broadening its relevance to an international audience.
