The word “comprehensive” is often overused, but The Palgrave Handbook of Prison Tourism really is the most comprehensive collection of works on the topic ever published. Bringing together all the leading international experts in the field, from a range of academic disciplines, the editors have succeeded in producing the definitive handbook on prison museums and prison tourist sites. A phenomenal achievement. –Yvonne Jewkes, Research Professor in Criminology, School of Applied Social Science, University of Brighton, United Kingdom

Prisons are Other places where social justice and institutional hegemony are signified. Yet, former prisons as tourist attractions now offer a punishment gaze where heritage custodians take charge of a “penal spectatorship”. Incarceration transcends cultures and nations and, as such, (his)stories of our carceral past are played out within contemporary “prison tourism”. This seminal reference volume offers comprehensive and critical international accounts of our carceral memorialization and, consequently, is undoubtedly the “go-to” text for scholarly enquiries into prison tourism within the broader visitor economy. –Dr Philip Stone, Executive Director: Institute for Dark Tourism Research, University of Central Lancashire, United Kingdom The Palgrave Handbook of Prison Tourism is an international collection on prison tourism that provides a timely global context in an extensive offering of fortyeight chapters from key researchers in the field. This major work extends theoretical discussions on the sociological and political implications of the phenomenon, historical legacies of state power and colonialism as well as analysis of curatorial, heritage and tourism management perspectives. In doing so the authors raise serious questions about the ongoing impacts of incarceration and the ways in which these former sites of imprisonment are interpreted, visited, promoted as destinations and ultimately understood in the present day. –Professor Keir Reeves, Federation University Australia
