The Prison and the Home By Anne Aungles

In recent years, prison populations have expanded and new community-based sanctions have been instituted: penal culture has affected a much wider sphere of social life. The distinction between "the prison" and "the home" has been blurred by developments such as electronically-monitored home imprisonment.

Aungles examines the intersection of the prison and the home across a range of societies and the implications of current trends. This is a major theoretical work based upon research in New South Wales.
