Prisoners‘ Families, Emotions and Space [EPUB ebook] 

In this ethnographic study Maria Adams turns a geographical and feminist lens on prisoners’ families.   She captures the testimonies of families as they navigate the sociological and social challenges of the imprisonment of loved ones, exploring key concepts including inequality,  penal power, and vulnerability. She also measures the impacts on many aspects of families’ emotions, relationships, and identities, and considers the sources of support and resilience they draw on.    With original research and fresh insights, the book deepens our understanding of carceral geography and how families experience spaces, both inside prison and beyond the bars.
