PALGRAVE STUDIES IN PRISONS AND PENOLOGY MENT...

This book examines how the prison environment  architecture and culture can affect mental
health as well as determine both the type and delivery of mental health services. It also
discusses how non-medical practices  such as peer support and prison education programs  offer
the possibility of transformative practice and support. By drawing on international
contributions  it furthermore demonstrates how mental health in prisons is affected by wider
socio-economic and cultural factors  and how in recent years neo-liberalism has abandoned 
criminalised and contained large numbers of the world¿s most marginalised and vulnerable
populations. Overall  this collection challenges the dominant narrative of individualism by
focusing instead on the relationship between structural inequalities  suffering  survival and
punishment. Chapter 2 of this book is available open access under a CC BY 4.0 license via
