Convict Criminology and the Struggle for Inclusion
Convict Criminology
Convict criminology is a theoretical perspective in criminology and a collective of affiliated authors. Ex‐convict professors that merge their first‐hand experience with prisons with their academic training to conduct research and publish together lead the group. First organized in the United States, the “convict criminology group” now includes members from many other countries.
Prison Research From the Inside
A perspective that has often been absent in criminal justice research is that of former prisoners. This article discusses the establishment, in 1997, of "convict criminology," a group of scholars producing research informed by their experiences of crime and the criminal justice process; that is, either those who have served time themselves or who have operated alongside prisoners as professionals in custodial settings. It is argued that such scho…
The New School of Convict Criminology Thrives and Matures
Knocking on the Ivory Tower's Door
This article reports the results of an investigation involving a select number of former prisoners with completed PhDs, who applied for work as tenure-track criminology/criminal justice professors.

Kentucky's Perpetual Prisoner Machine

This article focuses on our study of the prison and parole experience of men and women in Kentucky. What we found is a virtual "perpetual incarceration machine" where prisoners are recycled from prison to parole and back to prison. The following discussion includes: Kentucky's prison population continues to grow, parole fai…
A Convict Perspective on the Classification of Prisoners
Behind Bars
Behind Bars: Surviving Prison is a US-based peer-written book designed to fill this gap. Interestingly, though, when explaining who the audience of the book is, the authors say of content of the book that it covers what “you need to know it before you’re arrested, not after. After you’re arrested it will be too late, because the journey to prison may have already begun.”
The Use of Incarceration in the United States
