The Handbook of Incarceration in Popular Culture will be an essential reference point, providing international coverage and thematic richness. The chapters examine the real and imagined spaces of the prison and, perhaps more importantly, dwell in the uncertain space between them. The modern fixation with 'seeing inside' prison from the outside has prompted a proliferation of media visions of incarceration, from high-minded and worthy to voyeuristic and unrealistic. In this handbook, the editors bring together a huge breadth of disparate issues including women in prison, the view from 'inside', prisons as a source of entertainment, the real worlds of prison, and issues of race and gender. The handbook will inform students and lecturers of media, film, popular culture, gender, and cultural studies, as well as scholars of criminology and justice.

Presents a socially and politically relevant exploration of prisons at a time in which prison population is rising dramatically all over the world Explores a huge range of representations of incarceration, dwelling in the porous gap between fiction and reality found in tabloid journalism and reality television, and in cultural artefacts ranging from rap music to memoirs Simultaneously voices the preoccupations and concerns of actual prisoners while raising important questions about social exclusion and belonging Brings together established scholars and emerging researchers to discuss widely known and accessible content, using both well-known and lesser-known case studies
