About this book
This two-volume, edited collection lays the groundwork for an international exploration of incarceration and generation, covering a range of geographic, judicial and administrative contexts of incarceration from contributors across a range of subjects. Volume II examines intergenerational relations issues within contexts of incarceration. It focuses on the intergenerational continuities in imprisonment; intergenerational justice and citizenship; the impacts of incarceration on multiple generations and within families; and media representations of the intergenerationality of incarceration. Volume I explores an array of experiences, dynamics, cultures, interventions, and impacts of incarceration in different generations. This collection speaks to academics in criminology, sociology, psychology, and law, and to practitioners and policymakers interested in incarceration.

Reviews
“Long underdeveloped and overlooked, the intense generational effects and relations of incarceration take center stage in this two-volume tour de force. International, comprehensive, rigorous, and engaged, this contribution gives the study of punishment a vital framework from which to conceptualize a new form of generation studies in critical relation to an expanding penal landscape.” (Michelle Brown, University of Tennessee, USA)
“In the face of the pervasive use of detention as a form of management and control of a variety of populations, and given the persistent reality of penal and non-penal incarceration in the lives of many people over the years and across generations, this is a timely edited collection. Covering several jurisdictions and cultural contexts, and combining different disciplinary perspectives, the two volumes offer an illuminating angle to assess the impacts of incarceration by examining how it is lived in diverse life stages and how it becomes present in intergenerational and intragenerational relations.” (Manuela Ivone Cunha, Universidade do Minho, Portugal)
“Incarceration impacts not only the individual, but also their families and society. Because incarceration rates are so high, it is vital to understand the impact of incarceration. This book presents a well-rounded perspective on the impact of incarceration on our society, from intergenerational transmission to the impact of criminalising migrants, in countries around the world, including Cameroon, Mexico, Brazil, and other countries in Latin America, Norway, Spain, Portugal, England, and Canada. It’s an excellent source for anyone interested in the impact of prisons in several ways, especially from a more international and multidisciplinary perspective.” (Sytske Besemer, expert on intergenerational transmission, currently a UX researcher for the integrity team at Facebook, USA)
“Incarceration and Generation is the result of a truly international and interdisciplinary cooperation, with a broad comparative scope, pluralist in methodology, and strongly motivated by the commitment of contributing to the effectiveness of human rights in situations of detention. It makes us rediscover the reality of imprisonment by inquiring its impact on that essential characteristic of humans as living beings: the fact that they grow and age. Scrutinizing the consequences of imprisonment on people at different moments through their lifespan, and on the relationship between different generations, this work enriches the scholarship about prisons, and, at the same time, takes part in a broader and indispensable reflection about the human condition nowadays.” (Pierre Guibentif, Maison des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH), Université Paris-Saclay, France)
