Recenzii

“Jeffreys’ book represents a serious philosophical exploration of the damage caused to inmate’s inner lives by the practice of solitary confinement. The five chapters, which make up this excellent book, focus the reader’s attention on diverse aspects of this practice. … this is an important book about the workings of spirituality in dark places. Beyond his analysis of prison life, Jeffreys also suggests a useful and important political reading of the constitution of notions of criminality and normality.” (Maximiliano E. Korstanje, The Sociological Review, Vol. 63 (1), May, 2015)
"A powerful and thought-provoking meditation on the crushing effect of solitary confinement on human spirituality and creativity. Derek Jeffreys has written a brave and persuasive book that calls us to empathize and sympathize with those confined in these conditions, and in so doing to bring the mass isolation of prisoners to an end. This is an important and timely contribution to the current debate on the future of American penal policy and practice." - Sharon Shalev, Research Fellow, Centre for Criminology, University of Oxford, UK, and Author of Supermax: Controlling Risk Through Solitary Confinement (Willan, 2009)
