Description
Summary:	Prison ethnography dates back to the period immediately after the Second World War. In the 21st century, prison ethnography has rapidly grown in scope and influence and has arguably become a specialist strand of academe rather than a substrand of ethnographies of crime and control. This entry provides an examination of prison ethnography by first looking at its expansion, due largely to early criminological (preprison) research. It then highlights classic prison ethnography studies in both the United States and United Kingdom, before exploring current prison ethnography and its trajectory.
