Book Description
In this contribution to the history and sociology of punishment, Carroll-Burke (sociology, U. of California, Davis) provides the first major study of the sociopolitical forces that shaped the Irish Convict System (ICS) in the mid-19th century. The author analyzes the structural design, record-keeping technologies, and forms of disciplinary pedagogy of the ICS, in the context of the new social science-influenced view of behavior as malleable. He also critiques Foucault's Discipline and Punish: The Birth of the Prison (1977) in light of this case study. Based on a master's dissertation at the U. of Ireland (no date given).

Prison Policy in Ireland
Author: Mary RoganPublisher: Taylor & Francis
ISBN: 1136811451
Category : Law
Languages : en
Pages : 265
Book Description
This book explores how Irish prison policy has come to take on its particular character, with comparatively low prison numbers, significant reliance on short sentences and a policy-making climate in which long periods of neglect are interspersed with bursts of political activity all prominent features. Drawing on the emerging scholarship of policy analysis, the book argues that it is only through close attention to the way in which policy is formed that we will fully understand the nature of prison policy.
