Summary

Prison Studies, a growing field of interest for social scientists, are mostly focusing on western societies and Japan. This is the first study of a prison in the Asia Pacific area. Moreover, based on extensive fieldwork among prisoners locked up in the maximum-security jail of Papua New Guinea, this book contributes to a better understanding of life in post-colonial penal institutions. The author, who shared his respondents' lives for many months, vividly and sympathetically conveys their experiences of separation and loss.
