Review for the original edition:
This work makes a major contribution to our understanding of prison suicide and self-harm. While based on research undertaken in England, its findings are surely universal, as they properly identify suicide and self-harm as products of the very process of imprisonment itself; and I can think of no recent text where the pains of confinement are better explored than in the interviews which are at the core of Diana Medlicott’s narrative.
In the measured, authentic exchanges between tellers and listener, some striking and revealing truths about suicide and self-harm unfold.
This is one of the best pieces of scholarship to emerge from the Middlesex School of Criminology for many a long year. – Professor Mick Ryan, University of Greenwich, UK
