C. Carceral, a formerly incarcerated convict criminologist, and Michael G. Flaherty, a sociologist who studies temporal experience. Drawing from Carceral's field notes, his interviews with fellow inmates, and convict memoirs, this book reveals what time does to prisoners and what prisoners do to time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCarceral and Flaherty consider the connection between the subjective dimensions of time and the existential circumstances of imprisonment. Convicts find that their experience of time has become deeply distorted by the rhythm and routines of prison and by how authorities ensure that an inmate's time is under their control. They become obsessed with the passage of time and preoccupied with regaining temporal autonomy, creating elaborate strategies for modifying their perception of time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eTo escape the feeling that their lives lack forward momentum, prisoners devise distinctive ways to mark the passage of time, but these tactics can backfire by intensifying their awareness of temporality. Providing rich and nuanced analysis grounded in the distinctive voices of diverse prisoners, \u003cem\u003eThe Cage of Days\u003c\/em\u003e examines how prisons regulate time and how prisoners resist the temporal regime.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Unknown","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47471733801196,"sku":"9780231203456","price":66.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/39aecda5c8d553a757592ac20bbe6376.jpg?v=1775791998"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/michael-g-flaherty.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
