DESCRIPTION:Please join us for a Q&A session with the authors about this n
 ew book\, hosted by Professor Alison Liebling.                 In their ne
 w book\, Life Imprisonment from Young Adulthood: Adaptation\, Identity and
  Time\, Professor Ben Crewe\, Dr Susie Hulley and Dr Serena Wright analyse
  the experiences of male and female prisoners sentenced when young to very
  long life sentences (minimum terms of fifteen years or more). Based on a 
 major ESRC-funded study\, including almost 150 interviews with men and wom
 en at various sentence stages and over 300 surveys\, the book explores the
  ways that long-term prisoners respond to their convictions\, adapt to the
  various challenges of prolonged confinement\, and re-construct their live
 s within and beyond the prison. Focussing on such matters as personal iden
 tity\, relationships with family and friends\, and the management of time\
 , the book argues that long-term imprisonment entails a profound confronta
 tion with the self. It provides detailed insight into how such prisoners d
 eal with the everyday burdens of their situation\, their feelings of injus
 tice\, anger and shame\, and the need to find some form of hope\, control 
 and meaning in their lives. In doing so\, it exposes the nature and conseq
 uences of the life-changing terms of imprisonment that have become increas
 ingly common in recent years.
