London For Jackie and Simon Acknowledgements Without the unwavering support and inspiration of my friends, family, and colleagues, this collection of words would never have made it into a book. My thanks for all parts of this monograph belong to each of you. E ach page was made possible by colleagues at the Department of Geography and Earth Sciences, Aberystwyth University, and the Department of Criminology, University of Leicester, who provided inspi- ration and relief in equal measure. I am grateful to have experienced such supportive and vibrant environments throughout my career. My sincer- est thanks go to Julia Willan, Dominic Walker, and the whole Palgrave Macmillan team for seeing this project through with such professional- ism. My thanks go also to the editors Ben Crewe, Yvonne Jewkes and Th omas Ugelvik for fi nding a space for my work amongst such presti- gious others in the Palgrave Studies in Prisons and Penology book series. A whole chapter of thanks goes to my wonderful friend and generous colleague Sarah Mills. Your confi dence in my work helped me to plough through the most diffi cult of paragraphs; and your shrewd editing cor- rected them once I had managed that. Another chapter, as it were, is for Dominique Moran, who has been a constant source of inspiration, pav- ing the way for emerging carceral scholars like me and acting as a point of reference for every sensible decision I ever made. vii viii Acknowledgements I am hugely indebted to my parents, Jackie and Simon and my sister, Naomi. You have all been there from cover to cover reminding me that hard work is rarely unrewarded. And to Kimberley Peters, who has been the spine holding this whole thing (and me) together for the last two years. Not everyone is lucky enough to fi nd a partner who is such a talented and selfl ess colleague and I cannot express how grateful I am for all you have done to push me further, make me think harder, and write something of which I can be truly proud.
