e and innovative series, the first of its kind dedicated entirely to prison scholarship. At a historical point in which the prison population has reached an all-time high, the series seeks to analyse the form, nature and consequences of incarceration and related forms of punishment. Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology provides an important forum for burgeoning prison research across the world. Series Advisory Board: Anna Eriksson (Monash University), Andrew M. Jefferson (DIGNITY – Danish Institute Against Torture), Shadd Maruna (Rutgers University), Jonathon Simon (Berkeley Law, University of California) and Michael Welch (Rutgers University).

“Every transition in human lives encourages the development of carefully orchestrated rituals to manage the inherent trauma. Few transitions in contemporary human experience are as extreme and fraught as the one from prison to the community. As such, it is surprising (and rather dismaying) how little social science has contributed to our understanding of this remarkable experience. This outstanding collection of original research from a new generation of voices from around the world could not be more welcome. There is genuine wisdom and insight about the human condition to be found in the accumulation of these international experiences of institutionalisation and redemption.” —Shadd Maruna, Professor of Criminal Justice, University of Manchester, UK “This book deals with the difficulties and challenges ex-prisoners face in desisting from crime. An impressive feature is that that it portrays the desistance process from the point of view of those who are struggling to change. With more than two million people in postrelease supervision in Europe alone, managing the supervisory process is a major challenge. In that regard, this book also provides helpful insights into how can parole agencies enhance this process. In all, it makes a major contribution to understanding an aspect the penal process that is overlooked too often.” —Elena Larrauri. Professor of Criminology and Criminal Law, University Pompeu Fabra
