Recenzii

'Drawing on a wide range of primary sources, this book is a fascinating contribution to historiography on British penal history. It offers a mental health lens through which to examine the penal process and is a chilling reminder that disciplinary systems that make prisoners amenable and malleable can also have serious detrimental impacts.' Alyson Brown, Edge Hill University
'Cox and Marland bring rich expertise to this investigation of the histories of mental breakdown inside the prison system of England and Ireland. Disorder Contained points to deep tensions inherent in the treatment of mental illness inside carceral institutions still relevant in our present.' Catharine Coleborne, University of Newcastle (Australia)
'Disorder Contained explodes the assumption that only recently have prisons come to house large numbers of people with mental illness. In this important, powerful book, Cox and Marland demonstrate that mental illness and the prison system have a long, troubled history together rooted in the nineteenth century. This is a study not just of value to historians but also for anyone interested in prison reform today.' Nancy Tomes, Stony Brook University
