The world of prison directors

Prison has been the subject of a great deal of sociological research on a variety of topics. Some researchers analyze the place of the prison in society often with a highly critical eye (Baker 2004; Brossat 2001; Foucault 1975; Wacquant 1999). Others look at the prison itself either in a more general way (Combessie 2009; Faugeron & all 1996; Vacheret & Lemire 2007) or from a particular intramural angle of prisoners'' lives such as prison labor (Auvergon & Guillemain 2008) prison care (Milly 2001) their sexuality and intimacy (Cardon 1999; Welzer-Lang & all. 1996) their status as women (Rostaing 1997) the passage of time (Cohen & Taylor 1974) and so on.
