The chapters comprise original research from established prison scholars who develop the contours of a sociology of prison escapes. Drawing on firm empirical evidence from places like India, Tunisia, Canada, the UK, France, Uganda, Italy, Sierra Leone, and Mexico, the authors show how escapes not only break the prison, but are also fundamental to the existence of such institutions: how they are imagined, designed, organized, justified, reproduced and transformed. The chapters are organised in four interconnected themes: resistance and everyday life; politics and transition; imaginaries and popular culture; and law and bureaucracy, which reflect how escapes are productive, local, historical, and equivocal social practices, and integral to the mysterious intransigence of the prison. The result is a critical and theoretically informed understanding of prison escapes - which has so far beenabsent in prison scholarship - and which will hold broad appeal to academics and students of prisons and penology, as well as practitioners.  .Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology,2753-0612CorrectionsPunishmentJuvenile delinquentsHuman rightsLaw and the social sciencesCritical criminologyPrison and PunishmentYouth Offending and Juvenile JusticeHuman RightsSocio-Legal StudiesCritical CriminologyCorrections.Punishment.Juvenile delinquents.Human rights.Law and the social sciences.Critical criminology.Prison and Punishment.Youth Offending and Juvenile Justice.Human Rights.Socio-Legal Studies.Critical Criminology.365.641Martin Tomas Maxedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtChantraine Gillesedthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/edtBOOK9910299867503321Prison Breaks2257094UNINA
