      abstract = {This book focuses on the emotional experience of  imprisonment. In no uncertain terms: prisons seethe with  emotions and feelings. Based on two empirically rigorous  studies, this book analyses how prisoners attempt to adapt  and control their emotions. It begins with an account of  male and female prisoners held in medium-security prisons  and then moves to the particular case of emotions in  solitary confinement. There has been a turn towards  emotions in criminology but this is the first book to  centralize the subject of prisoner emotions in a detailed  manner. The ethnographic study of feelings has much to  contribute to broader debates about survival in prison and  pathways to desistence. Most importantly, it emphasizes  that full-blooded depictions of prisoners belong at the  heart of academic inquiry. Ben Laws is Research Associate  at the University of Cambridge, UK. Bens research has  focused on the emotional dimensions of prison life, which  was based at the Institute of Criminologys Prisons Research  Centre. He has professional experience working in a range  of mental health settings across the UK and US, mainly  supporting those with autistic spectrum conditions (ASCs)  and a range of other complex psychiatric, behavioural and  developmental disorders.},
