This timely book offers an overview of how to understand health and wellbeing in custodial settings. It draws on cutting-edge research for a big picture perspective on the issues of prisoners' health and wellbeing in prison settings. Bringing together international experts from research psychology, health and criminology, the volume creates a multidisciplinary narrative to highlight contemporary issues within prisons concerning health and wellbeing. It also explores how these issues can be effectively researched and subsequently understood.
The book covers how to navigate ethics in prisons research, the practicalities of conducting research in custodial settings, as well as discussions and case study examples from custodial settings in different countries. Chapters include illustrative examples and practical guidance from those working in the area, offering rich and in-depth insights into the different factors that affect health and wellbeing within prisons. The book also reflects on contemporary changes to prison research following the outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic.
The book will be essential reading for postgraduate and upper-level undergraduate students of research psychology, criminology and health psychology. The book will also be highly relevant for postgraduate students and professionals studying or working on health and wellbeing in prisons and custodial environments.
