Power and Resistance in Prison: Doing Time, Doing Freedom(Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology)

Series: Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology

This book explores how prisoners turn themselves into active opponents of the prison regime, and thus reclaim their freedom and manhood. Using extensive ethnographic fieldwork from Norway's largest prison, Ugelvik provides a compelling analysis of the relationship between power, practices of resistance and prisoner subjectivity.
