Reviews

""In Punished for Aging, Adelina Iftene amplifies the little-heard voices of aging inmates incarcerated in Canadian penitentiaries. Iftene overlays those voices with compact, yet clear, analysis of the policy and legal context in which punishment is administered, attending specifically to how inmates experienced the process of aging whilst subject to the techniques and forms of incarceration."" -- Joshua David Michael Shaw * <em>Punishment & Society</em> * ""Whether readers come to Punished for Aging for the primary data or for the legal analysis, this book is an important work. Impressive both in its scope and its depth, it respectfully conveys the voices of a population who are too often invisible to those whose lives are not directly touched by the prison. As such, it makes a significant contribution to both the prisoner health and prisoner justice literatures."" -- Helen Hudson * <i>Criminal Law and Criminal Justice Books, May 2021</i> * ""Whether readers come to Punished for Aging for the primary data or for the legal analysis, this book is an important work.
