About this title

Synopsis

How do transgender males in British female prisons navigate identity, and how does creative expression help?

An Autoethnography of being a transgender male in a female prison in England: A Prison Within a Prison explores the experience of transgender males in British female prisons, addressing a research gap often overshadowed by a focus on transgender females. Set against political, cultural, and media pressures, it examines identity, pronouns, goals, and creative expression as tools for self-exploration within a system that frequently fails to acknowledge transgender male identities. The book also questions the role of prisons, engaging with global debates on abolition. It invites discussions on intersectionality and hopes to inspire further research on transgender issues in criminal justice.

Ideal for students of Criminology, Psychology, Law, Queer Studies, Creative Writing, College-in-Prison programs, Prison Officer training, and those engaged with the Incarceration Nations Network.
