Obscured behind concrete and razor wire, the lives of the incarcerated remain hidden from public view. Inside the walls, imprisoned people all over the world stage theatrical productions that enable them to assert their humanity and capabilities. Prison Theatre and the Global Crisis in Incarceration examines performances within prisons across the globe, offering a uniquely international account and exploration of prison theatre. By discussing a range of performance practices tied to incarceration, this book looks at the ways in which arts practitioners and imprisoned people use theatre as a means to build communities, attain professional skills, create social change, and maintain hope. Ashley Lucas's writing offers a distinctive blend of storytelling, performance analysis, travelogue, and personal experience as the child of an incarcerated father. Distinct examples of theatre performed in prisons are explored throughout the main text and also in a section of Critical Perspectives by international scholars and practitioners considering the philosophical underpinnings of this work and its impact on audiences and actors. The vivid descriptions of performances make this volume a terrific resource for students, facilitators and teachers of prison theatre.

"The Routledge Handbook on American Prisons is an authoritative volume that provides an overview of the state of American prisons and synthesizes the research on the many facets of the prison system. The United States is exceptional in its use of incarceration as punishment. It not only has the largest prison population in the world, but also the highest per-capita incarceration rate. Research and debate about mass incarceration continues to grow, with mounting bipartisan agreement on the need for criminal justice reform. Divided into six sections (Historical and Theoretical Context; Prisons: Security, Operations and Administration; Types of Offenders; Living and Dying in Prison; Prison Programming and Preparing for Release; and Future Directions), the volume covers the development and evolution of American prisons, and then explores the key issues fundamental to understanding the U.S. prison system, including the characteristics of facilities; inmate risk assessment and classification; prison administration and employment; for-profit prisons; special populations; overcrowding; prison health care; prison violence; the special circumstances of death row prisoners; collateral consequences of incarceration; prison programming; and parole. The final section examines reform efforts and ideas, and offers suggestions for future research and attention. With contributions from leading scholars around the globe, this book is a valuable resource for scholars with an interest in American prisons and the issues surrounding them. It is structured to serve scholars and graduate students studying corrections, penology, institutional corrections, and other related topics".

Dans une prison, l'aumônier est celui qui va jusqu'au cœur et dans l'intime de la détention. Avec un sens aigu de l'observation, Christiane Puzenat capte ces moments et s'en fait le témoin. Elle ne se veut ni moraliste, ni prosélyte. Elle pose un regard plein d'amour et de tendresse sur ces personnes recluses, sans emphase romantique, ni fascination. Ses témoignages présentent la prison telle qu'elle est, c'est-à-dire avec une multitude de nuances - même si le gris domine souvent. L'auteure traduit les maux et les mots des détenus en interrogations parfois pathétiques ou dérangeantes. Ce livre est un combat nécessaire et discret pour défendre la dignité de celles et ceux qu'on enferme. Il raconte le quotidien de la prison, ce temps qui se scande et se répète. Des gestes et des paroles, cent fois les mêmes et pourtant toutes différents, parce que portés par des individus singuliers. À travers l'évidence d'une visite, on découvre aussi les profondeurs des questions existentielles pour ces personnes. Préface de Brice Deymié. Postface de Frédéric Rognon
