This is a collection of lively and interesting contributions to the field of prison writing, with an ambitious spread across geographies and eras. It enables us to chart the connections (or dissimilarities) of prison writing, which is exposed as an unstable practice of discontinuities. -- Dr Aylwyn Walsh, University of Leeds
