With great insight, De Vos compares prisons in Belgium and Norway and her critical and nuanced analyses raise several questions of what 'normal' in the prison context means. I am especially thrilled over how the discussion emphasises the prisoners' understanding and experience which raises a fundamental debate about the 'law in book and law in action' on this topic." -Berit Johnsen, Research Professor, University College of Norwegian Correctional Service "The normalization principle is an old and important concept in Penology about which amazingly little is written. With this interdisciplinary and comparative study, Helene De Vos makes an important start with filling this gap and creates a strong theoretical framework for further research. The empirical work the author has done is amazing and shines light on the many paradoxes and complexities which the normalization principle evokes in the reality of prison life". -Miranda Boone, Professor of C riminology and Comparative Penology, Leiden University, the Netherlands This book explores how prison life is normalized in different countries, with a critical and detailed look at 'Scandinavian exceptionalism' - the idea that Scandinavian prisons have exceptionally humane conditions - and compares these prisons to ones in Belgium. It provides a more nuanced, systematic and contextualized comparison of normalization in two countries. Through analyzing policy and legislative documents, participant observation and interviews, it seeks to understand how normalization is implemented differently in prison legislation, policies and practices and compares the two societies for context. It also considers the material prison environment, security, the social environment and the use of time in prison. It provides insights into how normalization can be successfully and holistically implemented in both policy and practice, to contribute to a more 'pure' form of liberty deprivation as punishment without too many unintended effects. Helene De Vos is an affiliated senior researcher at KU Leuven, Belgium, and the executive director of RESCALED. She is particularly interested in comparative prison research and the relationship between prison policies, legislation and practice. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology,$x2753-0612 606 $aCorrections 606 $aPunishment 606 $aHuman rights 606 $aCrime$xSociological aspects 606 $aCriminology 606 $aSocial policy 606 $aPrison and Punishment 606 $aHuman Rights 606 $aCrime and Society 606 $aCrime Control and Security 606 $aSocial Policy 615 0$aCorrections. 615 0$aPunishment. 615 0$aHuman rights. 615 0$aCrime$xSociological aspects. 615 0$aCriminology. 615 0$aSocial policy. 615 14$aPrison and Punishment. 615 24$aHuman Rights. 615 24$aCrime and Society. 615 24$aCrime Control and Security. 615 24$aSocial Policy. 676 $a365.948 676 $a365.948 700 $aDe Vos$b Helene$01356113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 912 $a9910720080403321 996 $aBeyond Scandinavian Exceptionalism$93360363 997 $aUNINA
