DESCRIPTION:Publihis seminar will develop Carlen’s notion of ‘Imaginar
 y Penalities’ to explore the ways in which penal architecture and design
  have become regarded as symbolic indicators of rehabilitative intentions 
 and outcomes. It will problematise the cultural export of Nordic penal exc
 eptionalism and its half-hearted importation into UK prisons and will argu
 e that ‘rehabilitative culture’ is a myth that ignores material realit
 y\, perpetuates the ‘imaginary prison’\, and masks the fact that not a
 ll penal objectives\, however well-meaning\, are realisable.\n\nAlthough n
 ot the focus of prison scholarship until very recently when researchers in
  criminology and carceral geography prompted a ‘spatial turn’ in quali
 tative studies of imprisonment\, it is now common to highlight the spatial
  features of incarceration\, or to note the contribution physical environm
 ent makes to the pains of imprisonment\, even when the study is ostensibly
  about something else. Opinions are often expressed from an externalist\, 
 privilege-centric viewpoint\, based on fleeting and impressionistic experi
 ences about what incarceration in these buildings must be like. \n\nYvonne
  Jewkes is Professor of Criminology at the University of Bath. She has rec
 ently held three external research grants to study prison architecture and
  design and their role in delivering positive outcomes for prisoners\, inc
 luding rehabilitation. Yvonne has published widely on various aspects of i
 mprisonment and is Editor of The Handbook on Prisons (with Ben Crewe and J
 amie Bennett\; Routledge\, 2016) and the new Sage journal Incarceration (w
 ith Ben Crewe and Thomas Ugelvik). She is also a series editor of Palgrave
  Studies in Prisons and Penology\, Sage Key Approaches to Criminology and 
 Emerald Studies in Culture\, Criminal Justice and the Arts.c Seminar:
