Prison Managerialism and Beyond -- Afterword. "It's a New Way, But... What Have They Lost?": Prison Managerialism in an Age of Austerity.This book offers the first ethnographic account of prison managers in England. It explores how globalised changes, in particular managerialism, have intersected with local occupational cultures, positioning managers as micro-agents in the relationship between the global and local that characterises late modernity. The Working Lives of Prison Managers addresses key aspects of prison management, including how individuals become prison managers, their engagement with elements of traditional occupational culture, and the impact of the 'age of austerity'. It offers a particular focus on performance monitoring mechanisms such as indicators, audits and inspections, and how these intersect with local culture and individual identity. The book also examines important aspects of individual agency, including values, discretion, resistance and the use of power. It also reveals the 'hidden injuries' of contemporary prison managerialism, especially the distinctive effects experienced by women and members of minority ethnic groups.Palgrave Studies in Prisons and PenologyCriminologyCorrectionsPunishmentCrime—Sociological aspectsSociologyEconomic sociologyCriminology and Criminal Justice, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B0000Prison and Punishmenthttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B9000Crime and Societyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/1B3000Sociology, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22000Organizational Studies, Economic Sociologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/X22020Criminology.Corrections.Punishment.Crime—Sociological aspects.Sociology.Economic sociology.Criminology and Criminal Justice, general.Prison and Punishment.Crime and Society.Sociology, general.Organizational Studies, Economic Sociology.364Bennett Jamieauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1058368BOOK9910253314203321The Working Lives of Prison Managers2499573UNINA
