More about the book
Through ethnographic research in two contrasting UK prisons, this book offers a rare examination of death and dying within these institutions, focusing on the predominance of natural causes. It highlights the underexplored experiences of dying inmates and the broader implications of these deaths on prison culture, challenging the traditional dichotomy of 'care' versus 'control.' By analyzing end-of-life care practices, it reveals how such deaths can soften prison dynamics and relationships, while also engaging with international perspectives on the topic.
