Generations Through Prison by Mark Halsey

Generations Through Prison by Mark Halsey

The book examines the causes, experiences and consequences of intergenerational incarceration; building on data from prisoners across Australia, UK and the USA, it offers unique insights into its dimensions, and its impacts on prisoners' lives.

"Generations through Prison is an important book that challenges common-sense understandings of the relationship between crime, imprisonment and the family… (it) is empirically rich and written accessibly enough for both academics and professionalsCriminologists working in the fields of prisons and crime and the family will find in Generations through Prison a much-needed complex interpretation of intergenerational incarceration beyond the view that criminality and imprisonment are passed down from one generation to the next… This book will undoubtedly inspire further study and hopefully encourage future scholars to gather dense empirical data and use it for both a rigorous theoretical examination of the deleterious effects of imprisonment, as well as a rethink about the justifiability of prison itself."
