The purpose of this paper is to provide some reflections on time in relation to imprisonment. These arise from three interview based studies we have been carrying out involving distinctly different groups of ex-prisoners. We are focused particularly on the phenomena of post-release experience, and their implications for the ways in which we think about imprisonment effects. If a more accurate view of long-term imprisonment is that it permanently alters the life courses of those involved, removes part of their expected life history and causes harms beyond sentence, then we need not only to rethink how we assist released prisoners, but, more fundamentally, we need to rethink our ideas of prison as punishment. . |
