From Military Service to Correctional Work
Building on prior research into the military-to-civilian transition and employment pathways within correctional services, this study examines the experiences of former military personnel employed in the Canadian prison system. While previous research has suggested prison work may be a common career route for Armed Forces leavers, the lived experiences of veterans working as correctional staff remain underexplored. This study provides the first em…
Finding and leaving traces
This article explores how the presentness of the past is produced in historic prisons; specifically, the Victorian-era prison estate of England and Wales. Whereas most research into historic prisons happens after they have closed, this article reports on a novel study of such prisons conducted while they are still in operation. We utilise Lipman's notion of prehabitation to illuminate the experience of past lives in these prisons, and in so doing…
Carceral anaesthesia
Drawing on emerging scholarship in sensory and affective geographies, this paper introduces the concept of ‘carceral anaesthesia’ to describe the strategic numbing or dampening of emotions and sensory perceptions as a form of resistance by people living, working and researching in the prison environment. Through the use of creative non-fiction vignettes – or ‘anaesthetic encounters’ – based on almost a decade of fieldwork conducted in UK prisons,…
Living between inside and outside
Carceral geography has critiqued the notion of a clear binary between the inside and outside of prisons, revealing that the prison boundary is porous, and that the prison materialises in multiple forms outside of its apparent margins. However, extant scholarship focusing on (formerly-)incarcerated individuals and others whose engagement with the prison is involuntary, has tended to elude prison staff experiences of these porous and permeable bord…
Carceral Worlds
We live a world in which the number of prisons is growing and experiences of incarceration are increasingly widespread.Carceral Worldsoffers a necessary and timely contribution to understanding these carceral realities of the globalized present.The book asks how the carceral has become so central in life, how it manifests in different geographical locations and, finally, what the likely consequences are of living in such a carceral world. Carcera…
Educational leaders and school-based mental health
This study examines the relational dynamics of knowledge brokerage among educational leaders in implementing multi-tiered systems of support (MTSS) for mental health promotion in schools. Recognizing the critical link between student mental health and academic achievement, schools are increasingly expected to provide comprehensive mental health supports. Utilizing social network analysis (SNA), this research explores the information-seeking behav…
The Side Effects of Universal School-Based Mental Health Supports
A challenge with universal school-based mental health supports is the limited understanding of potential unintended or unanticipated outcomes. In this review, we examined 47 academic and gray literature sources to address the question, “What are the side effects of universal school-based mental health supports?” We discuss how universal supports can positively impact student mental health, enhance school staff’s knowledge and attitudes in address…
The “Pains of Employment”? Connecting Air and Sound Quality to Correctional Officer Experiences of Health and Wellness in Prison Space
This article highlights Canadian federal correctional officers’ (COs) sensory engagements with their workplace to reveal how, in particular, air quality and sound quality generate physical feelings that create health and wellness concerns. These “pains of employment” support calls to improve prison space. However, these sensations conflate with perceptions of space, which infer that prisoners, not infrastructure, create poor environments. Such pe…
Mettre en lumière la lumière
Dans cet article, nous analysons l’expérience et les préoccupations des agents correctionnels (AC) canadiens fédéraux concernant leur environnement de travail. En nous appuyant sur la géographie carcérale, et en reconnaissant l’importance des liens entre l’architecture, les aménagements physiques et l’expérience vécue de l’espace, nous avons étudié l’effet de la lumière (ou de son absence) sur l’environnement de travail et le bien-être des AC. Le…
The prison as a postmilitary landscape
This paper extends discussions of military and post-military landscapes, and prior theorisation of the prison-military complex. In so doing it highlights as-yet unresearched synergies between the prison and the military which take form through the repurposing of former military bases as prisons, the creation of carceral landscapes of military memorial, and the imprint left by generations of ex-military personnel occupying the prison (both as pris…
Bridging the Gap? Ex-Military Personnel and Military-Civilian Transition Within the Prison Workforce
Prior research into military-civilian transition has suggested that the Prison Service may be a popular destination for Armed Forces leavers, but the experience of former military personnel within the prison system as prison staff (rather than as Veterans in Custody) has so far been overlooked. As a result, we know very little about their route into prison work. This article reports on a UK study investigating the experience of prison personnel w…
Carceral and military geographies
Geographers have expanded notions of the carceral, the military and war far beyond conventional ideas of the prison, the armed forces of the nation state and armed conflict, thus situating spaces of confinement, surveillance and monitoring in deep histories of violence. Nevertheless, we argue that renewed attention to these ‘conventional’ institutions reveals unanswered questions about prisons during and after war, conversion of military bases, a…
(Custodial) spaces to grow? Adolescent development during custodial transitions
Drawing on empirical data from two individual research projects, this paper extends the literature on child and youth incarceration and offers a previously unexplored analysis of experiences and transitions through institutional environments for young people. Different penal environments have different operational practices and treatment according to arbitrary age-determined constructions of childhood, youth and young adulthood, evidenced by decr…
Drill, discipline and decency? Exploring the significance of prior military experience for prison staff culture
Building on prior theorization of the prison–military complex and critiques of Foucault’s claim of similarities between the prison and the military, this article uses the example of ex-military personnel as prison staff to consider the nature of this relationship. In a UK context in which policy discourse speaks of ‘military’ methods as an aspiration for the Prison Service but where critical prison scholars use this term more pejoratively, it dra…
The Prison Cell
Development of LactaPedia
During the last decade, there have been several publications highlighting the need for consistent terminology in breastfeeding research. Standard terms and definitions are essential for the comparison and interpretation of scientific studies that, in turn, support evidence-based education, consistency of health care, and breastfeeding policy. Inconsistent advice is commonly reported by mothers to contribute to early weaning. A standard language i…
Politics of Hiding Invisibility and Silence
Just add water
‘Healthy prisons’ is a well-established concept in criminology and prison studies. As a guiding principle to prisoners’ quality of life, it goes back to the 18th century when prison reformer John Howard regarded the improvement of ventilation and hygiene as being essential in the quest for religious penitence and moral reform. In more recent, times, the notion of the ‘healthy prison’ has been more commonly associated with that which is ‘just’ and…
Careful control
This paper advances carceral geographies by situating water in relation to the nexus of care and control in the carceral setting. Critical for both hygiene and health, but also requiring control and management, consideration of water offers an analytical lens to uncover everyday, intimate and embodied institutional spaces of care and control mediated by water both in its elemental form, and via water infrastructures. Drawing on extensive qualitat…
Turning over a new leaf
In this paper we explore the potential applicability of evidence of health-enabling effects of elements of the built environment - particularly access to nature - deriving from research in healthcare facilities to evidence-based design in the custodial context. Drawing on comparative qualitative research conducted in the UK and the Nordic region, we argue that although available data lack direct comparability, there is evidence that access to nat…
Unlock the Volume
In recent years “volume” has become a key analytic idea, and tool, for re‐imagining and making sense of historical and contemporary socio‐cultural and geopolitical phenomena. This paper argues that this important work could be pushed in new directions by thinking seriously of how volume might otherwise be interpreted spatially, as capacity . Accordingly, in this paper, we address what we call a “politics of capacity”. To do so, we draw specifical…

Conceptualizing the carceral in carceral geography
Carceral geography has yet to define the 'carceral', with implications for its own development, its potential synergies within and beyond geography, and effective critique of the carceral 'turn'. A range of explicatory alternatives are open, including continued expansive engagement with the carceral, and attendance to compact and diffuse carceral models. We trace the origins of the term 'carceral', its expansive definition after Foucault, the app…

Becoming big things
This paper advances geographies of architecture beyond frequently studied ‘signature’ buildings by drawing attention to non‐iconic, non‐utopian, banal counterpoints – in this case, new prisons. It argues that by attending to ‘signature’ buildings, architectural geographies have overlooked the critical and underexplored circumstances and contingencies of more quotidian constructions, neglecting the mundane processes of procurement, commissioning, …
Unlocking carceral atmospheres
Using a variety of devices from visual displays, material objects, sensory engagements and embodied performance, museums select and narrate particular moments in history to an increasingly active audience. Thus far, focus on specific elements of museum design has eluded the altogether more pervasive, intangible and complex sensations designed, engineered, co-constituted and also arising unexpectedly from these sites: atmospheres. This article dra…
Between crime and colony
Recent literature in carceral geography has attended to the importance of mobilities in \ninterrogating the experience and control of spaces of imprisonment, detention and \nconfinement. Scholars have explored the paradoxical nature of incarcerated experience as \nindividuals oscillate between moments of fixity and motion as they are transported to/from \ncarceral environments. This paper draws upon the convict ship—an example yet to gain \natten…

Rethinking mobility in criminology
Typically, to be incarcerated is to be fixed: limited within specific parameters or boundaries with liberty and agency greatly reduced. Yet, recent literature has attended to the movement (or mobilities) that shape, or are shaped by modes of incarceration. Rather than simply assuming that experiences are inherently ones of immobility, such literature unhinges carceral studies from its framing within a sedentary ontology. However, the potential of…

Disciplinary Engagements with Prisons, Prisoners and the Penal System
This paper reviews changing contemporary approaches to geographies of incarceration, the penal system, and the institution of the prison. Firstly, it suggests a propensity to position spaces of imprisonment within thematics of containment and exclusion, which removes from consideration the particular contextual issues of reform and rehabilitation. By highlighting emerging literature within and beyond the discipline, which focuses upon both the de…

Criminals with ‘Community Spirit’
Contra the notion of prisons as discrete, ‘hidden’ spaces, contemporary research has stressed a range of connections, transactions and exchange. The relationship between the offender and the outside communities—captured in the policy rhetoric of rehabilitation and the promotion of good citizenship—is just one of these connections. This paper explores contemporary, liberal imaginations of the ‘ideal’ citizen; it goes on to critique formal rehabili…
Fixed-Term and Temporary
This paper autobiographically considers the role of teaching-only staff as a contingent labour force in the contemporary higher education system in the UK. The aims are twofold. First, whilst much attention has been paid to the role of the research fellow, there has been less consideration, in the UK context, of the teaching fellow as an alternate form of postdoctoral experience. Accordingly, this paper gives voice to the teaching fellow-a member…
Re‐‘homing’ the ex‐offender
Recent work within and beyond the geography discipline has come to understand that where might be imagined a sharp boundary between the ‘hidden’ inside and outside of prisons, there is in fact a myriad of materials that cleave and bind penal geographies that mark the prison wall as a site of transaction and exchange. Recidivism in the UK is of serious concern, rendering the ‘prisoner’ a participant of a very unique and dynamic type of border exch…

Voicing Concerns
How do we use empirical data? How do we present them? And, what work does data do? These questions are particularly pertinent for researchers who use voices from participants, such as interview or focus group data. For scholars who explore the spatialities of the social world, we must ask how we can make such data speak for and about such complexities. The problem of data presentation persists—particularly because the conventional outputs of choi…
Managing Readers
Managing Readers explores the fascinating interchange between text and margin, authorship and readership in early modern England. Printed marginalia did more than any other material feature of book production in the period between 1540 and 1700 to shape the experience of reading. William W. E. Slights considers overlooked evidence of the ways that early modern readers were instructed to process information, to contest opinions, and to make themse…

Introduction
[From initial paragraph] For the last 5 years, most of the conference papers I have \npresented or articles I have written have begun with the \nusual obligatory introduction to the “newly emerging” subdiscipline \nof carceral geography. That is, of course, research \n“specifically alighting on the spaces set aside for ‘securing’ \n– detaining, locking up/away – problematic populations \nof one kind or another” (Philo, 2012:4). However, to paraph…

Doing time-travel
This chapter focuses on Black gangs that were the “tempest” caused by the carceral current which swept through the Chicago’s Black neighborhoods in the early 1960s. Carceral power or the mechanisms of prison punishment was the spatial backdrop against which Black gangs like the Almighty Black Stone Rangers emerged. Architectures of confinement, restrictions on Black movement, ubiquitous policing, few job options, and rising rates of Black male in…

Carceral Mobilities
Mobilities research is now centre stage in the social sciences with wide-ranging work that considers the politics underscoring the movements of people and objects, critically examining a world that is ever on the move. At first glance, the words ‘carceral’ and ‘mobilities’ seem to sit uneasily together. This book challenges the assumption that carceral life is characterised by a lack of movement. Carceral Mobilities brings together contributions …
