Reviews

'While acknowledging its debt to the small number of scholars interested in spaces and practices of confinement over recent decades, Carceral Geography: Spaces and Practices of Incarceration is written by the foremost expert currently working in the field. As a pioneer of carceral geography, Dominique Moran has provided a must-read introduction to the field. Erudite, thought-provoking and tremendously readable, this book will enrich studies of the prison within and beyond geography.'Yvonne Jewkes, University of Leicester, UK'Carceral spaces are proliferating and Dominique Moran provides an indispensable toolkit to apprehend this development. Drawing on state of the art geographical concepts and contemporary debates she expertly defines and establishes the sub-discipline of carceral geography in this book. She also sets out the agenda for the coming years by raising indispensable questions about discipline, mobility and spectacle.' Nick Gill, Exeter University, UK
